Republican Congresswoman Proposes Trump on Mount Rushmore
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna proposes legislation to add Donald Trump's likeness to Mount Rushmore, following calls led by Corey Lewandowski. This comes amid various monument name changes.
Some people are starting to take President Trump for granite.
A Republican congresswoman is calling for the new Commander-in-Chief to be carved into the historic Mount Rushmore alongside fellow presidents Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Teddy Roosevelt.
Florida Freshman Rep. Anna Paulina Luna echoed calls from conservatives and claims she will be introducing legislation to set it in stone.
The patriotic renovation was first proposed by former Trump campaign manager and controversial conservative pundit Corey Lewandowski on the "Benny Johnson Show."
"Some really smart congressman should go and say, 'Donald Trump's face on Mount Rushmore,'" Lewandowski said to host Benny Johnson in a clip posted to X on Friday.
"What are we waiting on? Donald Trump's face should be on Mount Rushmore. We got the votes in the house. We got the votes in the senate. I know a guy whose gonna sign it named Donald John Trump," Lewandowski added to a smirking Johnson.
"Let's get it done to memorialize what this man's been able to achieve for this country," the former chief of staff concluded.
The call for the splashy political move caught the attention of Luna.
"I'm actually filing the legislation as we speak," Florida's first Mexican-American congresswoman wrote on X on Friday.
Mount Rushmore, residing in South Dakota, is a majestic feat of American craftsmanship that displays four of the most consequential presidents in United States history -- George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln.
Construction on the "Shrine of Democracy" began in 1927 and the massive monument was completed in 1941.
Conservatives are riding the wave of renaming national monuments and geographic locations.
President Trump announced that he will be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the 'Gulf of America.'
The state of Florida is already on board with that name change -- referring to the body of water as "The Gulf of America" in a winter storm warning this week.
Trump has also reverted the name of a mountain in Alaska to "Mount McKinley" by way of executive order.
The mountain was named after President William McKinley in 1896 but was renamed Mount Denali during the Obama administration in 2015.
Congresswoman Luna's office did not respond to The Post's request for comment.
