'He should be hospitalized': Internet stunned after Trump goes off on completely incoherent Mt Rushm

https://www.rawstory.com/2019/06/he-should-be-hospitalized-internet-stunned-after-trump-goes-off-on-completely-incoherent-mt-rushmore-rant/
resident Donald Trump was asked on Tuesday whether his face should appear on Mount Rushmore along with other major American presidents.

“If I answer that question yes, I will end up with such bad publicity,” Trump told The Hill, before pivoting to an incoherent rant about fireworks.
https://www.rawstory.com/2019/06/trump-delivers-utterly-bizarre-and-nonsensical-answer-when-asked-if-he-should-be-on-mt-rushmore/


“Well , look, I have a lot of respect; even Mount Rushmore; so for many, many years they got, they had fireworks, right?” Trump said. “Many, many years. And [Gov. Kristi Noem], your new governor, she’s a great person. She called, she said, sir, for many years we had tremendous fireworks on the 4th of July. We don’t have it anymore. Can you do something? And I got it approved. Starting , next season, it was not easy, starting next season , Mount Rushmore will have tremendous fireworks like they had for many years. But they ended it a long time ago, but they didn’t want, but they didn’t have fireworks because of, I don’t know, I think they thought, thought the stone was gonna catch on fire.”

There is someone that told him that shade of orange looks "natural" or even "good"....and the stupid SOB BELIEVED it!!!

That straw yellow, almost white hair is also looking very "natural"...

Please universal karma, his account is empty, he deserves no further reprieves from fate...sned the reaper to collect his soul ASAP...explode his heart and end our long national nightmare once and for all...in Gaia's name I pray!

Trump's face should be put in the farthest corner in the farthest down place in that cave. It should be the only place in the U.S. where the Trump Face would be seen, and if anyone wants to see it they got to walk all the way down, and ...not take the elevator
...Also, Trump viewers at Carlsbad Caverns of that face...must walk all the way back up to the opening of the cave, and they cannot take the elevator back up....That's it. That is where they should put Trump's face.

No, asshole, the rocks won't catch fire, but the surrounding forests will. And that's not all the fireworks will damage:

(Washington Post, 5/3/16) "Fireworks at Mount Rushmore were probably a bad idea to begin with...The fireworks were discontinued in 2011 but they left high levels of a chemical called perchlorate in water used by 3 million people who visit the memorial yearly...'We’re finding concentrations of over 50 parts per billion,'said Hoogestraat, a USGS hydrologist in South Dakota."

(And posted information from it below before I saw your post. Sorry 'bout that.)

The most chilling part was the end where they said that perchlorate doesn't degrade.

When Saint shoots Grant in the Rushmore commissary, a little boy, almost screen center, covers his ears 3 seconds before she fires.
Hitchcock saw it in rushes and kept it because he found it amusing.

Fucking hell. It was a goddamn fire hazard in the Black Hills. Especially during the dry summer months.

Oh yeah. And they left a shitton of perchlorate in the water table, too. Which can interfere with the function of the thyroid gland. Not a huge deal for the drooling tourists, but for the thousands of people who live in the Black Hills? Might be an issue.

Oh, and perchlorate doesn't degrade. Once it's in the water table, it's there. Permanently.

Just another day in the lying life of the Tangeranus in Chief.

On edit: just saw that sop linked the article where I got this information from above. *points up the thread to give credit to the first person to post this*

He's such a painfully stupid piece of shit.

This is his all-time worst rant. Can you imagine a teacher reading this shit to his or her students 100 years from now?! Republicans will never live this down:



“Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you’re a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible.”

Stupidity, randomness, meanness, and narcissism-- you're right, it's all captured here:

Trumpettes will refuse to read that. I've tried. "Read this. Tell me if this is the conversation of a rational person. Tell me if there's any mental process going on behind this."
And they refuse to read it. They don't want to know.

P.S. We'll try not to make your likeness look like a big horse's hemorrhoid. Really we will.
