[Flashback] "Trump: If I say I should be on Mt. Rushmore, 'I will end up with such bad publicity'"

Last edited Thu Sep 26, 2019, 05:28 PM - Edit history (1)

Trump’s quip came during a trademark rambling speech in which he said that “every president on Mount Rushmore believed in protecting American industry.”

“Now here’s what I do. I’d ask whether or not you someday think I will be on Mount Rushmore,” he added.

But after clearly invoking the idea of having his face included on the memorial, he then used his very own statement to take aim at the “fake news” media.

“But here’s the problem, if I did it joking, totally joking, having fun, the fake news media will say ‘he believes he should be on Mount Rushmore.’ So I won’t say it. OK? I won’t say it.”

I think he said this in 2017 and also in 2019. It's JUST like his repeated fishing expeditions for a Nobel prize. Donald Trump is a loser!

he has also threatened to give himself a medal of freedom and lamented that he could not give a draft dodging coward, himself, the medal of honor

mt rushmore was not carved to honor the protectors of American industry, by the way, but to symbolize the domination of the great white fathers with forked tongues over the sacred black hills. maybe trump does belong.
