Yeah, knowing Trump there has probably been inquiries made about space on Mount Rushmore, either added to, or, well, Theodore Roosevelt? Was he really up there in the same league as the other three? Too bad they jumped the gun and built Mount Rushmore before Ronald Reagan.

Had the mountain not been used for carving the faces of the Presidents in the 1930s on Mount Rushmore, the memorial would never have been built. Environmental regulations would have prohibited it.

When you consider that most of the Interstate highway system was built in less than 20 years and most of the New York City subway network was built in about 30 years, and compare it with the groaningly slow pace of road or transit expansion in our time, it appears America has lost its “can do” spirit. Fifty years ago, if you were to look at an almanac, a majority of the longest bridges, biggest tunnels, tallest buildings, and greatest dams were in the United States. That is certainly not the case at present.
