A bill to add a carving of President Donald Trumpto Mount Rushmore has been introduced by a MAGA politician.

Florida Representative Anna Paulina Luna announced the bill Tuesday calling for Trump to be added to the South Dakota monument with the message: “Let’s get carving.”

    I mean, fucking whatever. Mt Rushmore sucks, I’ve been there. It insults the natural scenery by being a shitty half finished project on what was originally a beautiful mountain. Adding Trump to it would make it an even better metaphor for the US government, especially when he stops paying developers halfway through and we end up with a partially finished version of his face

      Not just a beautiful mountain, but a sacred mountain that was intentionally defaced because it was sacred.

        You’re definitely correct, but I think it was technically faced rather than defaced.

    Can we get someone like Ted Lieu to point out that a geological survey done shows the mountain would be in danger of collapse if any more carving is done to it, but instead we could put him on, say Stone Mountain in Georgia? You know, with the rest of the traitors?

      That’s what I’m thinking reading this and other articles. It’s like the Republican party is reaching to find increasingly desperate ways to get into Trump’s graces, to the point that it feels like they’re running out of ideas by this point and have started a race to the bottom debasing themselves for his amusement.

      How does this man hold so much sway over them? He has the charisma of a wet rag, the character and patience if a toddler, and the long term vision of a house fly. Out of all the things I read about him and his cult, this is the one thing that baffles me the most.

    My god. I joked about this only the other day. I hate when the absurd becomes this week’s embarrassment.

    That’s great and all, but everyone knows that orange travertine is only found in Iran. And given the fact that mr. trump is currently romancing Israel, it’s not looking very likely Iran will be willing to give up its precious stone.
