Fox News Hosts Fawn Over Proposal To Add Trump To Mount Rushmore—And It's Peak Cringe

After several Republicans spoke out in support of adding President Trump's face to Mount Rushmore, the hosts of Fox News' Outnumbered could hardly contain their glee.

The folks at Fox News are just giddy over the prospect of "immortalizing" Republican President Donald Trump by having his likeness etched onto the granite face of Mount Rushmore.

Co-host Harris Faulkner claimed that a "growing number of conservatives are pushing" to permanently change the landscape of the Black Hills in South Dakota by carving Trump's mug alongside past U.S. Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln.


On Monday's Outnumbered, Fox contributor Jason Chaffetz remarked:

“If there’s room up there, I think it’d be great.”

The former GOP Congressman from Utah continued:

“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.”

Co-host Kayleigh McEnany, who served as White House Press Secretary during Trump's first term from April 2020 to January 2021, said she was "fascinated by this because that would be some sweet irony after President Joe Biden stopped the fireworks display from Mount Rushmore."

She noted how "It would be epic" to see Trump's face on Mount Rushmore to coincide with the United States Semiquincentennial celebration—or 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence—on July 4, 2026.

McEnany was also gung ho about a push for a petition in Congress to rename Washington Dulles International Airport as Donald Trump International Airport.

"So you have Trump and you have Reagan in D.C., and wouldn’t that be something special for the swamp?” she added.

GOP Florida Representative Anna Paulina Luna, who voted against a stopgap spending bill that would have provided FEMA disaster relief for her district in the wake of Hurricane Milton, said she already filed legislation to carve Trump's face into the monument, named, the "Shrine of Democracy."

It was not a popular idea online.






Don’t you need to have accomplished something great to be there???

Yet, the idea pushed by the right is par for the course.


Between this and the "Gulf of 'Merica!" stunt, Idiocracy is truly looking prescient right now

Why stop there? Why not give the new sculpture some company with the 10 alligators that got him elected or, why not chisel the American borders and coasts to reproduce the profile of Trump and rename it The Swamp?

Fellow Fox News cohost Emily Compagno, however, interjected with the "unpopular opinion" of not being sold on the idea of adding Trump's face to Mount Rushmore.

“I despise Mount Rushmore. I hate that we chiseled humans’ faces into the mountains,” she said, before proposing that a better option might be to add Trump's face on tangible U.S. currency, like "on a quarter."

Fox contributor Lisa Boothe brought the party down with a reality check by citing how the National Park Services deemed that additional carvings wouldn't be feasible given the fact that the "physical structure can't support it."

So at least there's that.
