🚨Corey Lewandowski calls for President Trump’s face to be put on Mount Rushmore:

“What are we waiting on? Donald Trump's face should be on Mt. Rushmore. We got the votes. Trump’s gonna sign it. Let's get it done. To memorialize what this man's achieved for this country.” pic.twitter.com/0fbIC2OpYf
If the scheme were to come to fruition, Trump would join George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln on the Mount Rushmore cliff face in South Dakota. The busts of the presidents’ heads, which were completed in 1941, are each around 60 feet tall.
It isn’t the first time Trump’s team has taken a stab at getting the twice-impeached president added to the iconic American landmark.
The New York Times reported in 2020 that Trump’s aides had reached out to South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem in 2019 to inquire about the process for adding another face to the monument.
In 2018, Noem, who is now Trump’s pick for secretary of homeland security, revealed that appearing on Mount Rushmore is one of the president’s dreams.
Trump allegedly told her during a meeting with him in the Oval Office.
“I started laughing,” she said. “He wasn’t laughing, so he was totally serious.”
