Trump active on campaign trail, discussing likeness on Rushmore and posting new image

Former President Donald Trump is marking the United States' 250th anniversary with a visit to Mount Rushmore for speeches and fireworks displays around July 3-4, 2026. This trip coincides with renewed discussions and proposals from some of his Republican allies to potentially add his likeness to the historic monument, an idea Trump himself has publicly entertained over the years.

In a separate development that has also drawn attention, the Treasury Department announced in March 2026 that President Trump's signature will officially appear on U.S. paper currency, beginning with $100 bills in June 2026. This move marks the first time a sitting president's signature will be featured on legal tender, ending a 165-year tradition of only the Treasurer's signature. This official decision is distinct from a social media post Trump made in May 2026, where he shared an AI-generated image of a $100 bill featuring his own face.
