Trumps quip came during a trademark rambling speech in which he said that every president on Mount Rushmore believed in protecting American industry.
Now heres what I do. Id 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 heres 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 wont say it. OK? I wont 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!
This has been a... !Flashback! *whoosh*

(5,439 posts)1. "participation trophies" for trump
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.

as a green blob on Thomas Jefferson's upper lip, right beneath a nostril.
