Trump on Mount Rushmore

This is not the first time when conversations regarding Trump being part of the Rushmore has happened. Earlier, Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) formally requested that Interior Secretary Doug Burgum study the feasibility of the addition. However, experts and park officials continue to emphasize the structural and philosophical barriers.


Rep. Ogles urged Secretary Burgum in a letter to the Department of the Interior to consider expanding the Mount Rushmore National Memorial. He cited Trump’s domestic policy bill, passed by Congress on Thursday, and the administration’s ongoing border security initiatives.

Ogles also shared his proposal on social media, suggesting the monument should be updated to reflect recent moments in US history.

The Department of the Interior did not directly comment on the expansion proposal. A spokesperson said the agency reviews all correspondence from Congress seriously and thoroughly. The National Park Service, which manages Mount Rushmore, did not issue a fresh statement in response.

In the past, NPS officials have stressed that the rock surrounding the current sculpture is unsuitable for new carvings.

In January 2021, Twitter, under its previous leadership, permanently suspended Donald Trump’s account, citing concerns over incitement of violence following the Capitol riots. Trump and his legal team later sued the platform, claiming the ban violated his First Amendment rights. Though the lawsuit was initially dismissed in 2022, it continued as a legal battle. Even after Elon Musk acquired Twitter in October 2022 and reinstated Trump’s account, the case persisted. The recent settlement resolves the dispute, with Musk’s company agreeing to pay $10 million to Trump.
