In a 2020 tweet, Trump denied a report that the White House had reached out to then-South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem about carving his face on Mount Rushmore, although he did add that it “sounds like a good idea to me!”
Pinellas County Republican U.S. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna has filed legislation that would direct the secretary of the Interior to carve the figure of President Donald Trump on Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota.
In a press release, Luna, first elected in 2022 and reelected last November, said the bill aims to honor Trump “for his transformative impact on America and the historical significance of his leadership.”
“President Trump’s bold leadership and steadfast dedication to America’s greatness have cemented his place in history. Mount Rushmore, a timeless symbol of our nation’s freedom and strength, deserves to reflect his towering legacy — a legacy further solidified by the powerful start to his second term,” Luna said. “He will be forever remembered among the great like Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt.”

Noem, who was confirmed as Trump’s Homeland Security secretary on Saturday, gave Trump a bust of Mount Rushmore that included his face in 2020 when she was still governor, according to the Bozeman Daily Chronicle.
