The proposed legislation to carve former President Trump's face onto Mount Rushmore would be an irresponsible and unethical use of taxpayer funds. This national memorial was created to honor presidents who made significant, positive contributions to American democracy and unity. Defacing this iconic landmark to inflate the ego of a divisive and controversial former president would be disrespectful to the monument's original purpose and meaning. Furthermore, the immense cost associated with such an endeavor cannot be justified, especially when those public funds could be better allocated towards more pressing needs that benefit all Americans. I urge you to reject this wasteful proposal and instead focus on legislation that upholds American values and serves the greater good of the nation.
