Dear God in holy freaking heaven. And yet why am I not surprised…
The only proper image would be of him mooning the country. I say let’s do it!
“That’s the image that can represent you Mr. President”
The Trump Monument should be a giant statue, Argonath style, at the Mexican border, with outstretched arm and raised middle finger.
And very small genitalia.
And a $20 million per year budget for paintball supplies on each side of the border.
Which would be worse? Small genitalia or no genitalia?
If they’re missing, it could be misinterpreted as the artist making an artistic decision not to make a prurient display. If they’re present but small, that sends a much clearer message.
Clarity is important in these matters, no?
I don’t know which face of the mountain the current sculpture is on. Does the Sun set behind it? If so, the orange turd would likely love to see an orange sunset accenting it.
And steal his glory?
Good point. I think I posted on the old board this:
Of course Trump dyes his his face, hair, whatever else he can color orange. After all, he thinks everything revolves around him.
Good gravy. I thought my son was joking when he told me this last night.
I believe it’s a federal monument so he could probably order his revolting visage to be added if there’s room or maybe he could even order one of the others to be chipped off to make room for him. Nobody would stop him.
Reads more like a satire in The Onion. I don’t envy their writers; every batshit crazy idea they come up with, “No way he’d be stupid enough to do that”, he goes out and does it.
Back in early 2016, the New Yorker had a cartoon featuring Trump, once elected, replacing the Washington monument with a giant statue of himself. I guess the idea of putting his giant mug on Mount Rushmore was considered too preposterous to be funny.
There’s no money for it, though. He’d have to either convince Congress to allocate the funds or would have to justify taking construction funds from somewhere else, and that’d be a tough sell. He was able to take money from other DoD pots for the border wall by couching it in terms of national security. Hard to do the same for a monument to himself.
And even if the money is somehow “found”, it’s a project that would take years. Decades, really. And I can’t see a future President or Congress sending good money after bad.
I imagine it’ll go the way it did when he asked what it would take to get a human being to Mars within 4 years. Not possible even if he dumped infinite money at the project, so he lost interest.
Look on the bright side: somewhere out there there’s a Tchaikovsky-loving mask aficionado with several tons of high explosives, just waiting for something like that to be built.
Complete with empty head so tourists could look out of his eyes?
Nobody wants Being Donald Trump.

Because of course they are.
So…he just does it. Doesn’t offer justification. Just. Does. It.
Who’s gonna stop him?
(I agree he won’t actually. As noted, it would take too long, and he has no patience.)
Speaking of the border wall:
https://www.expressnews.com/news/us-world/border-mexico/article/Border-wall-progress-15467427.php
President Donald Trump’s signature campaign to build a border wall from the Gulf Coast to the Pacific has added only 5 miles of new walls along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Since he took office in 2017, the administration has set aside $15 billion for 738 miles of walls and fencing on the 2,000-mile border, with the money coming from Homeland Security, the Defense Department and the Treasury Forfeiture Fund.
The federal government has completed 260 miles of replacement and secondary walls, but only 5 new miles of the 30-foot high steel bollard fencing where none existed before, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data obtained by the Express-News.
My bold.
BTW, the US-Mexico border is 1,954 miles long.
What’s happened to all that money?
