A group of panelists on Fox News Channel’s “Outnumbered” voiced support for the idea of President Trump one day being added to Mount Rushmore.
“Hey, if there’s room up there, I think it’d be great,” said Fox contributor and former GOP rep. Jason Chaffetz (Utah). “I think what Donald Trump has done, and is in the process of doing, is transforming the United States of America and putting America first. And I think America loves it, and I think there’s a great case for it.”
Kayleigh McEnany, Trump’s one-time press secretary, agreed.
“Yeah, I’m fascinated by this because that would be some sweet irony after President Joe Biden stopped the fireworks display from Mount Rushmore,” she said. “So if you did like the 250th anniversary of the country at Mount Rushmore with President Trump’s face, it would be epic.”
The Fox News segment was first highlighted by Mediate.
Others on the panel suggested Trump’s face be added to U.S. currency or other famous installations around the country be named after him.
“So I don’t know if it would be even feasible at that point, but I do fully support changing Dulles airport after President Trump,” Fox contributor Lisa Boothe said. “It also makes a lot of sense because you have Reagan here in D.C. with DCA, and there’s a lot of parallels between the two presidents of inheriting terrible economies, instability around the world, and then building off of that, fixing those problems, and then going on to tons of success.”
Trump has openly mused about the possibility of his face being added to Mount Rushmore, saying in 2019 he has “a lot of respect” for the monument.
