Suspense Crime, Digital Desk : US President Donald Trump has circulated an AI-generated photo featuring his picture alongside historical American leaders engraved on Mount Rushmore. The photo, posted on Truth Social, shows the American leader alongside George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.

Trump posted this photo without comment. Mount Rushmore National Memorial is a colossal statue carved into granite rock in the Black Hills of Keystone, South Dakota. The monument features 60-foot-tall statues of four former heads of state, symbolizing America's birth, regional development, economic progress, and structural stability.

The original sculptor, Gutzon Borglum, selected these distinguished statesmen to embody the first 150 years of American heritage. In this context, George Washington symbolizes the founding of the republic and the revolutionary struggle for autonomy, while Thomas Jefferson represents its territorial expansion.

While Theodore Roosevelt has been considered a symbol of national progress and America's rise to international prominence, Abraham Lincoln represents national preservation amid the rifts of the American Civil War.

Trump's ambition to have himself included in the national monument surfaced in 2018, when Trump told South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem that it was his "dream" to have his image permanently etched into the rock.
