This has already been looked into, because he said he wanted to be on Mount Rushmore during his first term, and a bill was introduced last year to add him.
No matter how much he may want it, it’s not possible; there’s not enough rock left on the mountain, and what’s there is too fragile to support it.
As if facts would stop the regime. I bet there’s some sort of a pool guy (and, purely coincidentally, Republican donor) that can pour that mug in concrete and nail it to the rock.
I hope you’re not too attached to that monument - once everything collapses, there will be a sabotage/terrorism spinjob and they’ll start searching for a new rock face in which to carve Trump, Trump, Trump and Trump.
Oh, they absolutely might still try. And if they do, they’ll probably irreversibly destroy some or all of the existing monument, which seems fitting for this administration.
But at least it doesn’t seem possible that we’ll ever end up with Trump’s head up there, no matter how much he might want it, and it does make me a little happy to know that he can’t get everything he wants.

The New York Times actually had a good article last year with 3D visualizations showing exactly why it can’t happen: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/06/27/us/mount-rushmore-trump.html?unlocked_article_code=1.vFA.N4J6.i9vauCc4EdSZ&smid=nytcore-ios-share
So at least there’s that.
I hope they try and then end up ruining the disgusting disgrace of a stolen Sioux mountain. This country is so gross.
“Too small, too thin, too fragile” - so… perfect for a Trump sculpture doomed to collapse before it’s completed…
If they do somebody has to sculpt his tiny hands life sized under the orange rapists head

You’re a fucking fool if you think that would stop them from trying.

that was actually cool
NYT has some pretty good infographics sometimes.
I would absolutely not call this “cool” though. Sickening maybe.
ah, yeah, by “cool” I meant the technical side of the website, not the subject of content itself
