President Trump is spending the night at South Dakota’s Mt. Rushmore to deliver a speech and greet July Fourth. What he really wants, however, is to have his image added to the four already there. See the rendition above.
Never mind that it’s been deemed impossible to carve another image, as the mountain is too unstable. If Trump can build a White House Ballroom and fix the D.C. Reflecting Pond, however, surely he can figure out how to get his eternal likeness rendered onto a silly mountain.
Kristi Noem, former South Dakota governor and departed Homeland Security chief, once gave Trump a mock-up of Mt. Rushmore with him added. “Sounds like a good idea to me,” Trump replied in appreciation.
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum has indicated that there’s room for President 45/47 on the hillside. Florida’s Anna Paulina Luna has even introduced legislation in the House of Representatives to have Trump carved into history.
Geologists warn that further drilling for a Trump likeness could weaken the Abraham Lincoln image, potentially causing it to crumble to the ground.
My guess is that Trump would be delighted to take Lincoln’s place. He already claims to be Abe’s equal, if not outright superior.
Let’s hope the impetus for Mt. Trumpmore lasts as long, or not even as long, as his name’s inclusion on The Kennedy Center.
