(The Hill) — Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said he “certainly” believes that there’s enough room on Mount Rushmore for President Donald Trump’s face.

Burgum joined Trump’s daughter-in-law and new Fox News host Lara Trump for an interview that aired on her show “My View with Lara Trump” on Saturday.

His appearance came just days after Trump signed an executive order that gave Burgum the power to determine if public monuments, memorials or statues removed during the Biden administration give a “false construction” of American history.

“The Department of Interior is in charge of the National Park Service,” Lara Trump said. “The National Park Services is in charge of Mount Rushmore. A lot of people wonder, will we ever see President Trump’s face on Mount Rushmore? What do you think?”

“Well, they certainly have room for it there,” Burgum replied.

He added that there will be fireworks and other celebrations around July 4th both at Mount Rushmore and across the country to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the country’s founding in 2026.

It’s not the first time the idea of placing Trump alongside the former presidents on Mount Rushmore has been introduced.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) introduced a bill that would add Trump to the rock carvings shortly after he began his second term. A group of panelists on Fox News Channel’s “Outnumbered” also voiced support for the idea.

If eventually added, Trump would join former Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln on the South Dakota monument.
