White House Reached Out to SD Gov About Adding Trump to Mt Rushmore [View all]

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...
