A Message From The Artist
I am an internationally collected artist, a baby boomer, and someone who has always embraced traditional values.
I never paid much attention to politics, but at some point, I became aware of something permeating our society that went against the core of who I am. It was so-called “political correctness,” and it soon became evident that we were truly in danger of losing our freedom.
Then I heard about Donald Trump. Up until that time, I had only a vague idea that he was a wealthy and sometimes controversial figure. I began listening to his talks, and immediately realized that, to me, he was an incredible man.
His goals are actually very apparent and simple to me, as he wishes for every man, woman, and child to be free to pursue their full potential in life. The people who vehemently oppose him are those who have lost so often in life that the very idea of winning is abhorrent.
It is popular to think that all greatness lies in the past: the great artists, great politicians, great scientists, and so on. But I believe that Donald Trump is easily one of the greatest freedom fighters of all time, and certainly in the history of America.
This inspired me to put him where I feel he rightly belongs: as the next addition to the Mount Rushmore monument.
It is my wish that his supporters will enjoy this image, and perhaps it will even help inspire the sculptors who get the job!
