White House aides reached out to South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem last year about the process of adding additional presidents to Mount Rushmore, the New York Times reported.

*snip*

According to a 2018 interview with Noem, the two struck up a conversation about the sculpture in the Oval Office during their first meeting, where she initially thought he was joking. "I started laughing," she said. "He wasn't laughing, so he was totally serious."

"He said, 'Kristi, come on over here. Shake my hand, and so I shook his hand, and I said, 'Mr. President, you should come to South Dakota sometime. We have Mount Rushmore.' And he goes, 'Do you know it's my dream to have my face on Mount Rushmore?'"

OMFG!🤦?♂️🤦?♂️🤬🤬 Dolt45 wants his face on Mt. Rushmore. That takes some nerve and audacity for him to even think he deserves a spot up there. But it's beyond the pale for him to even initiate some kind of inquiry/action to try and do something about it. Forget the offense to the rest of us of seeing his face up there with legitimately great presidents. But how patently offensive that would be to the Lakota Sioux Tribe/Great Sioux Nation to have the mountain further defaced, with that racist bastard's likeness? Ugh.

Please someone wake me up and tell me that the last 3.5 years have all just been a nightmare...

1. Of course he does

according to his Grand Deception, he is the most gifted, brilliant, and compassionate president ever. He HAD to say that.

Seriously, I think a lot of people would try to destroy Mt Rushmore if his face was ever put up there.

[forgotmylogin]

16. Honestly, the work and time and money involved...

...I seriously doubt even a good President would get added in the modern era.

[RKP5637]

2. Best he can hope for is a horror poster with his mug for a movie, "I killed America." n/t

[milestogo]

3. If he wants his actual face peeled off and pasted to Mt Rushmore

I'm ok with that.

[MojoWrkn]

31. Bawahaha! I'm with you!

[ArizonaLib]

4. He feels entitled to it. Idiots like him don't have any other thought.

'Deserving' things is not imaginable for sociopaths.

[634-5789]

5. The Sordid History of Mount Rushmore The sculptor behind the American landmark had some unseemly...

...ties to white supremacy groups...

[olddad65]

6. It would be more fitting to have his statue in the Kremlin.

[lastlib]

17. How about put his carcass in Stalin's old mausoleum in Red Square?

Vlad could take down the 'Vacancy' sign on it.

[Bengus81]

25. Or with his actions yesterday NAZI Germany as our Fuehrer

[abakan]

7. We should blow the whole thing up

before we let that happen.

[usaf-vet]

18. +1000

In the alternative, we could name the public restroom at Mount Rushmore the Trump s**tholes.

[Grokenstein]

36. One of my proposals for The Trump "Memorial" Liebary (SIC)

was the furthest stall inside the most poorly-maintained men's room in the truck stop closest to Mt. Rushmore. It would have a single shelf of wanking material devoted to incest fantasies, every page stuck together.

(The other, family-friendly proposal was an "eternal flame," never lit, in front of a tiny video screen constantly running a loop of that GIF of Don-Don's face plastered over a child pitching a shrieking fit because the ball didn't go in.)

[marble falls]

47. We should chisel it off and hand it back to local tribes anyways.

[relayerbob]

8. I can think of a number of ways to implant him there

He won't like any of them.

[OnlinePoker]

9. I don't think there's enough room for all of his chins.

Conversely, they could have his ass on the back of the mountain as a fitting tribute.

[Warpy]

10. Fuck this timeline, I want off.

Then again, you know he'd set up a foundation for that and the money would pour in and then either he or his kids would piss off with the money.

[LudwigPastorius]

11. Another stark proof that Trump is gibbering, batshit insane.

[Cha]

24. Barking mad.. no disrespect to dogs.

[Clash City Rocker]

12. They could make another monument with Trump, Andrew Johnson, James Buchanan and Franklin Pierce

Call it Mount Dumpmore.

[Traildogbob]

13. Put his mug

..on Stone Mountain Georgia with other traitors. That will never let Georgians forget how Kemp stole the election and helped kill thousands to Covid because of his worship of Trump. All surviving students that are forced back for the stock market should never forget why their friends died or have life long physical impairment. Or why they are homeless.

[Cha]

26. lol

[patphil]

14. On a wanted poster at the reception center...I could go for that.

[warmfeet]

15. His face belongs on toilet paper,

used toilet paper. That is highly appropriate for such an asshole.

[lastlib]

19. I put his likeness on TP almost every day.

Then I have to flush 10-15 times........

In my house it's "trump paper."

[warmfeet]

41. Yep.

[Illumination]

20. His nasty face Is already on toilet paper! I have some. It's from Amazon & says:ASSWIPE...

Take care warmfeet!

[warmfeet]

42. I actually have a roll myself.

[Illumination]

43. That's great warmfeet! We have something in common! To be honest, I'm guilty of leaving

several sheets in public restrooms! Shame on me for causing good trouble!

[Cha]

27. I wouldn't even want it there.. I can't stand to look at his

fucking ASSFACE.

[keithbvadu2]

21. Isn't Mt Rushmore a national park?

Isn't Mt Rushmore a national park?

The guv would not have such authority?

But then, Trump controls the National Parks?

[GB_RN]

23. You are correct

It is a national memorial, part of the National Park Service. Ergo, Governor Noem would have no authority over it.

Hairplug Himmler taking unilateral action to put his face on it would spark a huge public outcry. It might even be that it would take an act of Congress to make any changes to it, although I'm not sure. More knowledgeable people would need to chime in on that.

[pazzyanne]

32. According to Wikipedia:

"Because the monument and the land it sits on are owned by the Federal Government, and because it would require the use of Federal tax money, adding a face to Mount Rushmore would require an act of Congress.[50]"
I'll go with that, as having tRump's face on Mt. Rushmore would destroy the value of the monument, IMHO.

[rollin74]

38. Trump will just issue an executive order

to make it happen

[Illumination]

22. We need a winner like Obama on Mr. Rushmore. NOT a loser, con, murderer, impeached, unAmerican,

perv. fake "pres"!

[CaptainTruth]

28. Trump can be on Mt Flushmore

[chriscan64]

29. It is one piece of art.

A mountain defacing, Lakota pissing off work of art, but it's just one thing. He thinks it's some presidential hall of fame where they vote new ones in every now and then. Even if it was, he's not making the cut. Millard Fillmore is looking pretty good by comparison. The sheer nerve of this self absorbed prick. He will probably do something else along these lines like lobby to get on the $10 bill in his lifetime.

[moose65]

45. Jesus, he is crazy

I would vote to put Andrew Johnson up there before I'd vote for Trump.

Millard Fillmore and Martin van Buren look pretty good too

[kimbutgar]

30. That is some insane shit

He really is crazy!

He has nothing nothing but destroy America. Dividing us , destroying family and friends relationships and turning our country over to Putin on a platter.

[Stuart G]

33. Think about this one...Could be the best news for us in a long time...

....So selfish & self centered Trump doesn't know what he is saying...Even the Republicans in South Dakota will puke....

............ ....... ..... .....

[Marie Marie]

34. Will his likeness be holding the Nobel Peace Prize he also wants sooooo badly?

[CaptYossarian]

35. Only if they use Eric's teeth.

Then, they may as well use Alfred E. Neuman.

[Grokenstein]

37. If he ever got his wish

we'd be there every day, rappelling down to reapply his clown make-up.

[noneof_theabove]

39. he can do it with exceptions

1) must be no larger than the others smallest nose
2) must be on a adjoining mountain to the side
3) must be from the hip up with crossed arm and face done in blue marble
4) sign under it reading "remember your history"

[CRK7376]

40. That's a pipe dream full of WackyWeed

if you ask me....Plus that little thing called Federal Property. Who would add an Impeached jackass to that rock face....NOBODY! Like I said, Pipe Dream jackass.

[Beacool]

44. He's delusional.

Trump is a malignant narcissist. He's not a normal human being.

[marble falls]

46. I heard Teddy Roosevelt made big campaign contribution to Gov. Kristi Noem ...

and got put up in a long weekend.

[Nitram]

48. That's hilarious!!!
