New York Times: “During his first term, Mr. Trump told Kristi Noem — then a U.S. representative from South Dakota, now Mr. Trump’s Secretary of Homeland Security — that his “dream” was to be on Mount Rushmore. She later gave Mr. Trump a model of Mount Rushmore with his face on it.”
“The idea has resurfaced since Mr.
Trump returned to office. A congresswoman from Florida sponsored a bill in January to ‘direct the Secretary of the Interior to arrange for the carving of the figure of President Donald Trump on Mount Rushmore National Memorial.’ It was referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources, which has yet to act on it.”
