Republicans now want to slap Trump's name on a mountain [View all]
These assholes want to win trump's favor. Naming something big like an airport may not be feasible but these assholes hope no one will notice this stunt being done on the state level in a red state
Republicans now want to slap Trump's name on a mountain

A Republican candidate for lieutenant governor in Georgia has a bold plan to win over President Donald Trump and his loyalists in the primary: name a mountain after him.
"President @realDonaldTrump is one of the most transformative presidents in our nation’s history," wrote state Rep. David Clark in a post to X on Tuesday. "That’s why today I introduced a resolution to rename Sawnee Mountain in Forsyth County to Trump Mountain to honor his historic legacy of Making America Great Again."
Sawnee Mountain is a small formation just north of the city of Cumming, in a county that makes up one of Trump's most important voter bases in the northern exurbs of Atlanta. It is one of the tallest peaks in the region.
Clark is running for the office currently being vacated by Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, a former fake Trump elector in the 2020 election who took part in the unsuccessful scheme to overturn the voting results in that state. He was elected after the previous lieutenant governor, Geoff Duncan, became alienated from the GOP over disagreements with the MAGA movement. Jones is seeking the Republican nomination for governor.
Duncan has since joined the Democratic Party and is now running for governor himself, in a crowded Democratic primary field that also includes former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and former state Sen. Jason Estevez.
