South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem said Thursday she has no plans to put former President Donald Trump’s face on Mount Rushmore.
“I don’t think we’re adding any faces to Mount Rushmore any time soon. It is pretty special just the way it is,” the Republican governor told The Guardian newspaper.
The idea first surfaced in 2018, when Ms. Noem recounted meeting Mr. Trump in the Oval Office.
She told him she was from South Dakota and that it is the home of Mount Rushmore, a national memorial in the Black Hills region that features the faces of Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.
