Tennessee Republican Sends Burgum Letter Calling for Trump to Be Added to Mount Rushmore

  • On July 3, 2025, Tennessee Republican Rep. Andy Ogles formally requested that Interior Secretary Doug Burgum consider the possibility of adding President Donald Trump's image to Mount Rushmore.
  • This request follows a bill filed earlier in January by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna that directs the Secretary of the Interior to arrange carving Trump’s likeness on the monument.
  • Ogles acknowledged technical, logistical, and preservation challenges, including limited space and structural concerns, but argued the legacy of Mount Rushmore should evolve to reflect recent historic achievements.
  • Ogles called for an official evaluation to consider how President Trump's leadership could be honored in a way that reflects the recognition given to the historic figures already featured on Mount Rushmore, highlighting Trump's lasting national influence.
  • The proposal’s implications include initiating feasibility studies, public consultations, and state or tribal engagement while sparking debate over the monument representing the nation’s full historical arc.
