Florida Congresswoman introduces bill to carve President Donald Trump into Mount Rushmore alongside four other presidents

Florida Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna reportedly introduced a bill proposing the addition of US President Donald Trump’s likeness to Mount Rushmore alongside the existing figures of Former US Presidents Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Roosevelt, reported USA Today.

According to USA Today, the recent bill which is titled as the ‘Mount Rushmore Act’ eventually aims to honor the ‘transformative impact’ and ‘historical significance’ of US President Donald Trump while citing achievements like economic growth and national security. The announcement of Florida Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna actually included a digital rendering of the face of US President Donald Trump carved just next to Lincoln, but at the same time, no timeline or funding details were provided.

The proposal reportedly is facing significant logistical and legal hurdles while The National Park Service has already previously stated that Mount Rushmore actually lacks carvable rock for additional figures and the experts are estimating costs of upwards of $64 million, asserted USA Today. Numerous critics have put forward an argument that the move totally disregards the original intent of the monument to commemorate US Presidents from the first 150 years of the nation.


The bill is very unlikely to pass due to bipartisan opposition, though during such times, it has garnered severe support from US President Donald Trump loyalists which include Fox News commentators and former officials as well.

This sudden initiative now follows other Republican led efforts to honor US President Donald Trump such as renaming the Dulles International Airport and issuing $500 bills with his portrait, noted USA Today. Florida Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna had previously pushed for a Congressional Gold Medal for the foreign policy of US President Donald Trump.
