‘There’s a Great Case for It’: Fox News Panel Gushes Over ‘Epic’ Idea of Adding Trump to Mount Rushmore

 

Some panelists on Monday’s edition of Outnumbered expressed their strong support for adding President Donald Trump’s image to Mount Rushmore, while others suggested bestowing an alternative honor upon him.

Harris Faulkner kicked off the segment by declaring that just a week into his second term, “there are already calls to put his face on Mount Rushmore,” as “a growing number of conservatives are pushing to add Trump to the legendary monument.”

“Hey, if there’s room up there I think it’d be great,” chimed in Fox contributor and Fox radio host Jason Chaffetz. “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 it-, there’s a great case for it.”

“Yeah, I’m fascinated by this because that would be some sweet irony after President Joe Biden stopped the fireworks display from Mount Rushmore. So if you did like the 250th anniversary of the country at Mount Rushmore with President Trump’s face, it would be epic,” agreed Kayleigh McEnany. “There’s also a petition now in Congress to change Dulles airport’s name to 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?”

Emily Compagno conceded that her opinion “might not be that popular” but she despises Mount Rushmore.

“I hate that we chiseled humans’ faces into the mountains. So for me, I would be all for putting President Trump’s face on currency, right?” she commented, also echoing the call for changing the name of Dulles.

“I would like to please leave the mountains alone,” added Boothe.

Lisa Boothe, meanwhile, brought some practical concerns up.

“Apparently you can’t, like the physical structure can’t support it. So the National Park Service, I read, they’ve long studied this and they said that it’s actually not suitable, it’s no longer suitable for additional carving. 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,” she 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.”
