For blowing it to smithereens…

Well, which is it? Should Rushmore never be desecrated, or should Trump be added to it? You can’t have both.

By the end of his term more than 300,000 Americans will have been killed by a virus he attempted to ignore and dismiss as a hoax. Some achievement. He’ll burn in hell for all eternity and his name become a byword for corruption and sleaze.

It would make one great target.

Let them try to add him. Maybe if you tried to add an additional president to Mount Rushmore it would become unstable and collapse. A fitting metaphor for Trump.

Let’s put his ample ass on Mt. Rushmore as a permanent warning to those who come after us.

Wouldn’t a sculpture of Donnie with wispy hair be prone to breakage or desecration??

I like the way you think but there’s obviously no way it would fit in that limited space.

No, you can have both of course. If you put Trumps face on Mt. Rushmore you would also be desecrating it. It’s a twofer.

He would insist on a younger version of himself with more hair and less jowls. Like the photo on his Twitter feed, that has to be at least 15-20 years old. He doesn’t look anything like that now.

So why isn’t there an exploratory committee on adding his face to Stone Mountain?
Though if Trump’s face was added to Mt. Rushmore we’ve save money on the smoothing out the facial features.

Lincoln, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Washington would turn into LOTR Stone Giants to eradicate the blight…

Talk is he’s thinking of replacing My Pants with SD governor Noem, one of the more stupid of the repub governors. He should just go with Palin and get it over with.

It’s a shame that he probably won’t live long enough to see what historians and the general public really think of his time in office, after a few years. It won’t be pretty.

What’s the opposite of getting your face on Mt. Rushmore? Maybe if we ever get a national nuclear waste storage site approved, we could name that site after him.

There is, however, plenty of room on Stone Mountain.

Noem greeted Trump with a four-foot replica that included his face on it.

That’s some world-class pandering there.

Congratulations, Kristi. You’ll never get the brown off your nose in this lifetime.
