For those wondering: Yes, he's serious. And, yes, it's awesome.

Just imagine…

Here's more info from The Eagle Eye, the group looking to make it happen on either the Mississippi or Missouri River (Lewis and Clark explored the Missouri but the Mississippi is also associated with westward expansion and Manifest Destiny!).

On May 24, 2026, Daniel C. Green, Founder of The Eagle Eye and prominent conservative voice on X (@TheEagleyeNews), launched a bold initiative calling for the construction of two massive 300-foot-tall statues of explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark.

In a viral post that quickly gained widespread attention, Green urged Americans to celebrate the Corps of Discovery's historic expedition by erecting monumental statues — styled after the iconic Argonath from J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-Earth — to stand guard on the Missouri River.

Forget ballrooms and the National Garden of American Heroes … THIS is the construction project America needs.

Key Details of the Proposal:

• Scale: Two statues, each approximately 300 feet tall

• Design: Towering figures, evoking strength, exploration, and manifest destiny. Ideally hollowed for interior use for tourism, defense, research, or other private purposes

• Estimated Cost: Estimated at $50 million per statue, according to quotes from French foundry Atelier Missor, or higher from other builders, depending on the design

• Funding: Preference for private patriotic donors and crowdfunding, with Green personally spearheading the effort

• Location: In the Gateway to the Mountains along the Missouri River in Helena, Montana

The idea was immediately loved by patriots who want to see it happen:

As of this writing, a GiveSendGo page has been set up to receive donations to fund the project. Out of the requested $500,000,000 needed, they have collected… $497.

Someone get this to Trump. You know he'll love it!
