Carved Into History
Thank you, Andy Borowitz, for the inspiration for this YankoBoop.
As you can tell from the video, I was off to the races. Sometimes the universe just hands me things.
The Straightforward Context
On January 29, 2025, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) introduced legislation seeking to add Trump's face to Mount Rushmore. The bill calls for the Interior Department to oversee Trump's addition to the South Dakota landmark, pending Congressional approval.
Luna argues that Trump's "remarkable accomplishments" deserve recognition on the national monument, writing on social media platform X: "Let's get carving!" The proposal gained additional attention when former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany suggested on Fox News that adding Trump's face would be "epic" for America's 250th anniversary in 2026.1
The Oglala Lakota tribe, on whose ancestral lands Mount Rushmore stands, has expressed opposition to any further alterations to the sacred site. So there’s that.
And more and more people are waking up to the objective fact that DFT is one of the very worst humans ever ever ever to have been born. So there’s that.
