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.
According to a person familiar who spoke with the Times, Noem then greeted Trump when he arrived in the state for his July Fourth celebrations at the monument with a four-foot replica of Mount Rushmore that included his face. Noem has noted before Trump's "dream" to have his face on Mount Rushmore, the Coolidge-era sculpture that features the 60-foot-tall faces of Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt.
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 probably said it in jest but OMG OMG THE HORROR..actually in some weird way I hope this is NOT fake news..I would LOVE seeing Trump’s face on Mount Rushmore just to piss off the commies..meanwhile Biden said absolutely HORRIBLE racist statements and not a peep from the same commie media
Both. Not an either-or proposition.
I vote to add President Trump.
Methinks little Jamie got trolled.
Salena Zito said it best.
Why am I not buying this?
LOL!
A NYT said he wanted to buy Russia and China too. And he as not joking.
NYT?
I don’t believe it for a nanosecond.
He will not be on Mt.Rushmore.
The rock on the monument will not support any more carving.
There is lots of rock there that would be good for carving.
Kristy Noem doesn’t control the monument, the feds do
CNN.
Okay, maybe after the second term.

When I used to travel for work, I would mail an official looking solicitation to my liberal teachers union brother to have Ronald Reagan added to Mt Rushmore. He used to bitch all the time about these unsolicited requests for money he got, but never caught on it was me.
The best one was when our Dad put a President Ford bumper sticker on the front bumper of his car (who looks at the front bumper). For over 2 weeks, none of his fellow teachers would give him the time of day, avoided him in the lunchroom, and walked on the opposite side of the hall. When he finally saw the bumper sticker, he went ballistic. What could he do. It was dear ole Dad who did it. I miss our Dad.
What total bs.
This is going to make some heads explode. How about we compromise and instead of Trump’s head, put an exploded head on Mount Rushmore?
Greenland, your are thinking small, Russia, buy Russia!
CNN trolls itself bigtime and everyone takes the idea seriously.
