A North Georgia landmark could soon be renamed after President Donald Trump – if one state lawmaker has his way.

Rep. David Clark, R-Buford, introduced a resolution Tuesday to rename Sawnee Mountain in Forsyth County, located a little under 50 miles northeast of Atlanta, as "Trump Mountain," according to WSB-TV.

"President Trump is one of the most transformative presidents in our nation’s history," Clark wrote in a Facebook post detailing the move.

"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."

The decision drew backlash from some Trump critics who blasted the move in the comments.

"This is satire right?" one commenter wrote.

Another chimed in by saying, "Transformative is not a compliment."

Others pointed to the mountain's historical significance to the Native American community, drawing parallels between the two.

According to FOX 5 in Atlanta, the mountain's current name stems from a celebrated Native American chief. 

Some commenters were more supportive of Clark's proposal.

"He's [Trump has] certainly earned it. No President since Lincoln has faced the headwinds from the other side that he has," one said, with another Trump supporter chiming in with, "Trump is THE most transformative figure in U.S. history, and it isn't close."

When Fox News Digital reached Clark's office for comment, Clark provided the following statement:

"I’ve noticed that naming things only really becomes an issue when it is Conservatives doing the naming. Change Fort Benning’s name?  Fine. Tear down a statue of Abraham Lincoln? No problem. Trump Derangement Syndrome is definitely real," he said.

"Even his detractors must admit that Donald Trump has been the most consequential President of the modern era," he continued.

"He reignited passion for America among many who had long felt disconnected from the political process."

Clark is also running to be the Peach State's next lieutenant governor.
