There have been Anti-Trumpers that push a false story that officials in the National Parks Service at Rushmore have said it's impossible to add another President to the Rushmore monument.

Looking at an overhead photo of the Rushmore National Park, it's difficult to see how that would be true. There is plenty of room for a new profile.

In case you haven't been following closely, there is now a groundswell of all Americans, including a significant portion of Democrats, that are warming and committing to supporting his Presidency. These new converts even hail from liberal havens such as Venice Beach in Los Angeles. The Democrat Party leadership has self-destructed. This is relevant because the 2020 election is shaping up to be a blowout landslide in favor of Donald Trump so it goes that talk and discussion of honoring him will only grow as Americans of all walks of life fall in to support and appreciate him.

I’m thinking with president Trump he is going to need a mountain of his own.

[US_MilitaryRules]

I’m thinking his profile should be on the granite face of the Yosemite Natinal Park, El Capitan or the Half Dome!

No. Leave Mount Rushmore alone. Given the liberals mental state in recent years, putting Trump or another Republican up on Rushmore is likely to see it defaced or damaged. Should Trump make it through two full terms and truly transforms the country, we can come up with some other monument in his honor.

TRUMP ON RUSHMORE

A lovely idea.

[dp0622]

You’re absolutely right.

Let him finish his FIRST term before deification begins.

I’m a fellow NYer and VERY proud and Thrilled of the job he’s doing.

But when I see idiots on the board (NOT YOU, YOU DIDN’T) talking SMACK about Ronald Reagan, it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth and gives me the sense that this board sometimes has a herd or pitchfork and torches mentality.

Individual thinking is our greatest asset over the left.

And these are my individual thoughts :)

Let’s WIN BACK THE COUNTRY first because we’re heading towards the clearing but we’re far from out of the woods yet.

Good night folks.

God Bless President Trump.

He and Rudy give an embarrassed NYer at least Two people to be proud of.

How embarrassing. And they say liberals are all emotion. I’ve been there and there is not enough room to properly place a head. Go to sleep now.

GoFundMe started to add Trump to Mt Rushmore:

This link might need its own thread.

I’m surprised the Dims haven’t called for Mt. Rushmore to be destroyed because there are two slave owners there.

[[One might think it’s best to wait until he’s in his 2nd term]]

Be better during his 3’rd term- Mike Huckabee made a joke about Trump being allowed a 3’rd term because his first term was so stymied by democrats it shouldn’t have counted, and I think it was susan rice, or one of obama’s henchwomen thought it was a serious request and freaked out

[EEGator]

No.

Trump: Best. President. Ever.

JMO I’m against putting him on Mt. Rushmore. Rushmore is done and fine as it is, should be left alone.

Kind of smacks of idolatry to me. (I wouldn’t have put the other 4 on Rushmore if it had been my decision, either.) YMMV.

I think we can honor people we love and admire in other ways. Name your kid “Donald”. Be sure that the history books accurately explain the truth about what he accomplished. Keep his ideals in your heart and remember them when you go to vote.

Building monuments to people seems a silly undertaking and a waste of money. But if a bunch of people wanted to contribute to such an undertaking, without expecting the taxpayers to foot the bill, I support their freedom to do so.

Plenty of room for Trump....but not enough of the good rock to support another face

There are plenty of rock outcroppings to use, not just this one

[NTHockey]

Since President Trump is one of a kind, he deserves his own mountain.

[equaviator]

The Trump Monument should be on the Mall along with the Jefferson, Lincoln and Washington monuments. After a 2nd Trump term as POTUS, a GoFundMe would probably raise more than enough money for something like that.

Rushmore is just fine as it is. Plenty of other options out there.

[ReformedBeckite]

I say take Stone Mountain in Georgia and chisel off the memorial on it’s face, that would make the liberals go prematurely ecstatic over it and then carve Reagan and Trump onto it, that would cause them to go suicidaly unhinged, then collect their tears to sell and pay for the new carvings.

[Impy]

I think I heard the mountain can collapse if they try to do more too it.

A giant gilded statue will do.

[GreyFriar]

From what I’ve read over the last 5 decades and remember from a college geology class, is that there is NOT any viable rock face to support a fifth person’s/president’s head. It was explained that while from a distance it looks like there is room for an additional head, the internal structure and cracks in the granite makes putting in a head impossible.

And this explanation was initially given in response to an early call for JFK’s likeness to be carved there, thus this is NOT just “anti-Trump” propaganda. And also when some have called for FDR’s to be added.

I’m happy with the 4 presidents that are currently there. Those 4 presidents have weathered the test of history’s time in their greatness.
