Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s bid to rebrand Presidents Day — in honor of President Donald Trump — quickly backfired.
The Alabama Republican on Monday shared on X an image of Mount Rushmore with Trump’s face digitally added.
He wrote: “As we reflect on our nation’s greatest presidents, it’s hard to think of a President who has been more influential in modern history than President Trump. Petition to rename today as ‘President Donald J. Trump Day’?”
The post drew swift ridicule, with critics calling Tuberville — who is running for governor of Alabama and shared it via his campaign feed — embarrassing and worse.
Trump and his allies have frequently mused about having his likeness added to the monument in South Dakota’s Black Hills, despite experts’ concerns it may not support the addition of another sculpture.
