Trump is asking advisors how to get his birthday declared a national US holiday

For the past year, President Donald Trump has been asking his advisors how he gets his own holiday.

Zeteo, the site founded by former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan, was told that "on separate occasion over the past year, Trump has talked to longtime advisers about what it would take to officially make his birthday a national, federal holiday."

It's just one of the many things that Trump has wanted to highlight his existence, reporter Matthew Zeitlin posted on X.

Those efforts include when Trump bulldozed the East Wing of the White House to build a 90,000 square foot ballroom that would dwarf the actual White House itself. His staff joked that they would name it after him.

Similarly, one afternoon, seemingly out of the blue, Trump's hand-picked Kennedy Center board voted to rename the legendary arts center the Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Mere hours later, a new sign was being installed.

During his first term, Trump joked about his face on Mt. Rushmore. But according to Zeteo, that wasn't actually a joke.

"Since the start of his new presidency, Trump has privately asked multiple times about how to get his face up there on Mt. Rushmore, crowing to close allies how he is a more accomplished president than some of those faces on the memorial," the report said, citing those familiar with the matter.

Trump has also been fighting to build a giant structure that would look like the Arc de Triomphe. The former honors the soldiers who died during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. Trump hasn't indicated what the new arch would honor.

"Similarly, he has already repeatedly inquired about getting a Donald Trump-shaped monument built in our nation's capital, and mentioned that he wants final approval on the size, look, location, content and design of the statue and memorial," Zeteo added.

More recently, a statue of Trump has appeared on The Mall in Washington D.C., but it features Trump and his late friend, trafficker Jeffrey Epstein in a "Titanic pose." A similar statue went up in September.
