United States President, Donald Trump
President Donald Trump kicks off America’s 250th birthday weekend on Friday with a trip to a landmark upon which many suspect he would like to see his own face carved in rock — Mount Rushmore.
On the eve of Independence Day, Trump will give a speech beneath the giant granite heads of four of his legendary predecessors at the national monument in South Dakota.
It’s a fitting image for a president who views himself as being one of the greats himself, and who has at every stage tried to turn the United States’ big anniversary into a celebration of himself.
Republican Trump’s supporters have even introduced legislation to have his likeness chiseled beside those of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt.
