Republicans Push Legislation to Honor Trump
Republican lawmakers are proposing a series of bills to honor former President Donald Trump, including making his birthday a national holiday, carving his face on Mount Rushmore, and renaming a Washington, D.C. airport after him.
These bills, which have been met with mixed reactions, are seen by some as a way to show support for Trump and his accomplishments, while others view them as desperate attempts to curry favor with the former president.
One bill, introduced by Tennessee Representative Andy Ogles, proposes revising the 22nd Amendment to allow Trump to serve a third term. Ogles argues that Trump is "the only figure in modern history capable of reversing our nation's decay and restoring America to greatness."
Another bill, introduced by Florida Representative Anna Paulina Luna, proposes adding Trump's face to Mount Rushmore. Luna argues that Trump's "remarkable accomplishments for our country" deserve such recognition.
A third bill, introduced by North Carolina Representative Addison McDowell, proposes renaming Virginia's Dulles International Airport as Donald J. Trump International Airport. McDowell argues that Trump is "the greatest president of my lifetime" and deserves such an honor.
Finally, a bill introduced by New York Representative Claudia Tenney proposes making Trump's birthday, June 14, a national holiday. Tenney argues that Trump is "the founder of America's Golden Age" and deserves such recognition.
Democrats have criticized these bills as desperate attempts to curry favor with Trump. Texas Representative Jasmine Crockett argues that Republicans should focus on addressing issues like the cost of rent and groceries instead of proposing these "pointless" bills.

Let's not forget how Trump lowered taxes, deregulated businesses, and appointed conservative judges. These policies made a huge difference in people's lives.

The left can try to cancel President Trump, but his legacy and impact will be felt for generations to come. These bills are just the beginning of recognizing his greatness.

The 22nd Amendment exists for a reason. Stop trying to manipulate the constitution to benefit one individual's desire for power.

Democrats have no solutions for the real problems facing America. They just want to play political games while Trump keeps delivering results.

Focus on the things that REALLY matter, Republicans! Healthcare, education, climate change, poverty - these are the challenges we should be addressing, not indulging Trump's ego.

Renaming an airport after Trump? He contributed nothing to aviation and is hardly a role model for travelers. Terrible idea.

Adding Trump to Mount Rushmore is the perfect way to commemorate his incredible leadership and the positive changes he brought to our country. He's an American icon.

Renaming Dulles Airport after President Trump is fitting. He made America respected again on the world stage and deserves this tribute.

This is an insult to every American who believes in democracy and decency. Honoring Trump sends a message that hateful rhetoric and actions are somehow acceptable.

Trump exposed the corruption and failures of the establishment political class. He's a fighter who challenged the status quo and put America back on track.

Mount Rushmore represents historical figures of integrity and leadership. Trump doesn't belong there. He represents everything those presidents stood against.
