Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) has formally requested that President Donald Trump be considered for addition to Mount Rushmore, citing his historic leadership, sweeping achievements, and transformative impact on American history.

Rep. Ogles posted the announcement on X, declaring:

“I’m asking Secretary Burgum to put Trump on Mt. Rushmore.

Given the scale and scope of President Trump’s recent achievements—especially the impending enactment of the Big Beautiful Bill, the historic act that will ignite America’s Golden Age—it is essential that we immortalize President Trump’s likeness on Mount Rushmore.

Like Washington, Trump did not seek his position for glory but out of love for his country, championing American independence and reshaping the presidency with dynamism, clarity, and purpose.

Like Jefferson, he expanded America’s horizons by pursuing new frontiers and breaking away from deep state tyrants.

Like Teddy Roosevelt, Trump took on entrenched interests, reinvigorated American industry, and avenged the working class against bureaucratic bloat and corporate corruption.

The legacy of Mount Rushmore cannot remain frozen in stone; it must evolve to reflect the full arc of American history, including its most recent and transformative chapter.”

In his official letter to Secretary Doug Burgum of the Department of the Interior, Ogles laid out a powerful case for the inclusion of Trump alongside Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Roosevelt.

The letter reads as follows:

“We write to urge your consideration of a proposal that reflects the enduring legacy of a consequential American president. Given the scale and scope of recent achievements under President Donald J. Trump-including the enactment of the historic “Big Beautiful Bill” to secure our border, rebuild our military, and slash government bloat to reinvigorate our government and society—it is appropriate to explore the addition of his likeness to Mount Rushmore.

Mount Rushmore honors presidents who represent the birth, growth, development, and preservation of the United States. President Trump’s leadership advances each of those pillars.

Like George Washington, he champions American independence and is reshaping the presidency with strength and clarity of purpose. Like Thomas Jefferson, he is expanding America’s horizons and pursuing bold reforms that reorient the country’s economic direction and return power to the people. Like Theodore Roosevelt, he takes on entrenched interests and is reinvigorating American industry, rebuilding the American military, and safeguarding the working class from bureaucratic overreach. And like Abraham Lincoln, he is fighting to preserve the Union-this time not from secession, but from invasion, drift, decline, and the steady erosion of self-government.

These are not transient accomplishments. They are structural changes with lasting national significance. For decades, historians, economists, and public servants will measure their work against the standards reestablished by President Trump.

We understand that physical modifications to Mount Rushmore raise logistical and preservation questions, but this discussion should not be foreclosed based on past bureaucratic resistance or political discomfort. While meeting the logistical challenges may require engagement with state and/or tribal officials, the national benefit of promptly recognizing President Trump’s accomplishments in restoring American greatness makes doing so a priority, and the benefits of elevating the dignity and relevance of the site, thus increasing both its grandeur and its visitor traffic, will accrue to South Dakota, the Lakota Sioux, and the broader area.

The Department of the Interior owes the American people a full, fair, and transparent consideration of how best to commemorate presidential legacies of enduring consequence. That includes opening a formal review of how President Trump’s leadership might be symbolically recognized on par with the leaders already enshrined.

We urge you to initiate a feasibility assessment-technical, legal, and cultural —for this proposal, and to engage with public sentiment and expert consultation on the matter.

The legacy of Mount Rushmore is not frozen in stone. It is alive in the American memory, and it should evolve to reflect the full arc of our nation’s history-including its most recent and transformative chapters.”
