  1. Cons: Gubmint spending is too high and wasteful!

    Also Cons: Let’s put Trump on Mount Rushmore!

  2. That was something Noem gifted him while she was governor of South Dakota during his visit.

  3. I place my bet on erasing the present faces and then replacing them with Andrew Jackson, McKinley Jay Edgar Hoover, Trump and Arnold Palmer

  4. Did they carve Lincoln into Lenin and put Trump next to it.

  5. As little as I care for Trump, Mt Rushmore was a travesty long before they proposed putting his stupid face on it.

  6. The backlash from the natives will be monumental and fully deserved if they go on with it.

  7. I hope he does it. It will give a future president the opportunity to tear down the entire monument and return the land to Native Americans.

  8. For the love of God no!

  9. FWIW, dating back to at least when it was suggested that Reagan be added to Mt Rushmore, the Park Service stated that the mountain could not withstand the addition of another image.

    I suppose it might be possible to recarve one of the existing faces, but only one I can see that even being considered is Teddy Roosevelt — great as he was, he’s below Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln.

  10. Why does it look like the Rushmore trump just shit his pants?

  11. For a group of people that promote masculinity and all that, I find it weird how Trump and the people that kiss his ass act like they don’t go outside.

    The artwork is relief – to be on the right of Lincoln, the space for his goddamn head will need to be tucked back and pointing away from the center. They cleared space to work from using dynamite to expose the rock that was good to chisel away. So even if there is good granite to carve, you’re compromising the rest of the artwork.

  12. Holy shit he has a replica of my Rushmore made out of gold with his own face on it in his house? What a fucking joke.

  13. I read somewhere that this could cause all of mt. Rushmore to collapse.

  14. If there were a back side of the Mt. Rushmore monument, showing the asses of these four fine presidents, then I would be all for placing trump on that side of the monument. His contribution to the country is equal to what came out of those asses.

  15. There ain’t enough mountain there to carve his chubby mug.

  16. Obligatory “can you imagine if Obama did this?”:

    Can you imagine if Obama has a sculpture like this and displayed it prominently for visitors to see? People would flip out.

  17. Doesn’t… doesn’t he know that it’s a natural formation and tampering with it would be an act offensive to God?

  18. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/the-strange-and-controversial-history-of-mount-rushmore

    Borglum (the sculptor) saw the carving as a testament to American exceptionalism, and advocated that it depict presidents instrumental in the country’s expansion.

    George Washington, the country’s first president, would represent its birth. Thomas Jefferson, who nearly doubled the country’s size with his purchase of the Louisiana Territory, stood for its westward expansion. Theodore Roosevelt, who had overseen the construction of the Panama Canal, was a symbol of economic growth. And Abraham Lincoln was selected for having fought to preserve the nation in the Civil War.

    I guess Trump would represent its collapse.

  19. Of course he has himself featured most prominently. This guy is a fucking lunatic. Just the hubris to have something like that made…unreal, anti-American.

  20. They should add him but make him look extra ugly/fat. He might have a stroke!

  21. Never. We will never allow the Worst President Ever on Mt Rushmore. Besides, his “reign” isn’t going to last long enough to accomplish it.

  22. After all it’s coming from the same guy that created the Simpson

  23. Kinda fitting considering the monuments racist history.

  24. Just a reminder that both are written by same team if I am not mistaken

  25. This man had the opportunity to actually be the greatest President of all time. Hear me out: his followers go along with whatever he sells them, so, get in office and then convince your idiot followers that each democratic platform item is a great idea! Result: 90% approval rating. If he just wants to be adored, this is the only path…

  26. I’ve heard that the cliff face can’t support any more sculpting on it. If they go through through with the plan, it would be a perfect summary of this administration, collapsing the grand foundations of everything that came before for a 10-minute meaningless vanity stunt.

  27. This is totally normal.

    It is not odd at all to have a gilded Mt. Rushmore model the size of a goddamn coffee table smack in the middle of the room with an image of yourself sort of tacked onto the side like a wart on Lincoln’s ass was given vitamins.

  28. Only the top dead Presidents deserve such an honor!!

    The following as well as Obama deserves to be on the mountain before Trump:

    * 1st = FDR (Franklin D. Roosevelt) (1933 to 1945)

    * 2nd = JFK (John F. Kennedy) (1961 to 1963)
