GOP's INSANE Bills to Honor TRUMP – $250 Bill, New Federal HOLIDAY, Adding to MT. RUSHMORE?!

🇺🇸 Welcome to the Josh Lafazan Show — where we call out the corruption, the hypocrisy, and the political clown show that’s happening in real time.

Today’s episode is about something so absurd, it sounds like satire — but it’s actually happening in the U.S. Congress.

🚨 Republicans in Congress are introducing actual bills to turn Donald Trump into a national monument.

While Americans are struggling with rising housing costs, unaffordable child care, crumbling infrastructure, and cuts to social services…
The GOP is laser-focused on building shrines to Trump — literally.

We're exposing every one of these ridiculous, taxpayer-funded proposals, and breaking down why this level of political hero-worship is completely unprecedented in American history.

💰 SEGMENT 1 – Trump on the Money?

🧾 First up: Two bills have been introduced to put Trump’s face on American currency.

One would create a $250 bill featuring Trump’s face — a denomination that doesn’t even exist.

Another would put Trump’s face on the $100 bill, replacing Benjamin Franklin.

🤯 These aren’t parody tweets. These are real bills wasting real legislative time and your taxpayer dollars.

🎂 SEGMENT 2 – A National Holiday for Trump?

Yes, seriously.

A bill has been introduced to make Donald Trump’s birthday a federal holiday.

Lincoln doesn’t have one. FDR doesn’t. Reagan doesn’t. But Trump?
The twice-impeached, four-times-indicted former president who tried to overturn an election?

That’s what the GOP wants to celebrate?

🗿 SEGMENT 3 – Mount Trumpmore

👉 Republicans want to carve Trump’s face into Mount Rushmore.

Forget the fact that historians rank Trump among the worst presidents in U.S. history — worse than Nixon, Buchanan, or Harding.

This is a man who:

Botched the COVID pandemic response

Gave tax breaks to billionaires while fueling a recession

Inspired political violence and an insurrection

Tried to overturn democracy itself

But the GOP wants him etched in granite next to Lincoln and Washington?

✈️ SEGMENT 4 – Rename Dulles Airport

Another bill proposes renaming Washington Dulles International Airport after Trump.

Never mind that Dulles was named for a respected Secretary of State.

Trump insulted military heroes, trashed allies, and pulled the U.S. out of global institutions.
And now, they want his name on our capital’s international airport?

🚇 SEGMENT 5 – MAGA in the Metro

Yep — there's a bill to rename the entire D.C. Metro system after Trump.

Imagine hopping on the “Make America Great Again Line” to “Trump Freedom Plaza Station.”

All while:

Metro riders face delays, broken escalators, and overcrowding

Cities plead for basic infrastructure funding

Transit workers are underpaid and overworked

And Congress is focused on slapping MAGA branding on the subway?

📉 SEGMENT 6 – Historians Agree: Trump Doesn’t Deserve This

Hundreds of presidential historians — liberal and conservative alike — rank Trump near the bottom of every leadership category:

Crisis response

Moral authority

Commitment to democracy

International leadership

Administrative competence

But none of that matters to today’s Republican Party.
They’re too busy trying to rewrite history and polish his image — with your money.

🧾 SEGMENT 7 – The Real Price Tag

While the GOP works on these Trump shrine bills, they’re not working on:

Solving inflation

Expanding child care

Lowering prescription drug costs

Supporting small businesses

Addressing housing crises

Instead, they’re writing bills to:

Put Trump on currency

Create a national Trump holiday

Rename public infrastructure after him

Carve him into national landmarks

It’s political theater — funded by you.

🔥 OUTRO – Governing by Sycophancy

Let’s be clear: This isn’t legislation. This is idol worship.

Congressional Republicans have stopped serving the people — and started serving one man.

They’re not governing.
They’re groveling.

And the worst part? They expect YOU to pay for it.
