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."

Would you rather have him or stacey abrams on Mt Rushmore?
Doubt this. The President says that sort of thing IN JEST.
Yeah he also publicly conspired with Russia to get Hillary’s emails.
THAT would drive the Libs Hellapalooza-Ultra-Over the Top Bonkers!! I would expect someone to try hiring a private pilot to fly over the monument and drop a variety of explosives.
I am fully serious about this. We’ve already seen the extremes they will go to when they don’t immediately get their way in politics. Well, I will try more of thinking positive. Meaning, maybe that airspace will already be under security watch.
Stacey Abrams on Mt.Rushmore....
Unless strictly sculpted to show nothing under the front of the first of her chins, the weight would cause a rockslide and then an avalanche of the monument.
When people get on an elevator with Abrams no matter what button they push it’s going down.
I’d rather the US buy Greenland
than have President Trump on Rushmore....
That’s a better legacy.
So glad to hear Unnamed Sources is still living. I was worried
The NYT is reporting this? I simply don’t believe it.
How about Reagan too. That would be fun.
FAKE NEWS from the NYT enemydia. Mt. Rushmore is under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service, not the South Dakota governor.
And it’s likely President Trump was pulling leftist legs with any such suggestion.
Although, by the end of President Trump’s second term, there could well be a call by patriotic Americans to put Trump’s image on the mountain, especially if by then thousands of Demonicrat traitors have been tried, sentenced, and hanged.
Does the governor even have jurisdiction over such a decision? The monument is part of the National Park Service.
Yes...they told the story, each source spoke each word in succession...like the way the 3 Stooges used to.
The NYT is unable to write w/o lying. The problem is there are millions who believe every word the NYT prints.
He will be on Rushmore.
Permits will be processing after he leaves office in 2025.
And no, Native American hecklers have no claim to the land.
