The Bulwark: Trump Thinks He Belongs on Mount Rushmore

Will Saletan breaks down Trump's July 4th speeches, his bizarre Mount Rushmore post, his obsession with foreign leaders praising him, and why Trump's version of patriotism always revolves around Donald Trump. From claiming America was "dead" before his return to joking about a third term, Trump reveals a vision of the country where loyalty to him matters more than loyalty to the Constitution.

Four pitons and a tube of Liquid Nails should do the job.

He'll stink for a few weeks, but that can't be helped.

One can only hope that the birds don't die after pecking his eyes out.

Geologists say it would destroy the existing figures if another figure was added to it. But how about making a figure of Trump elsewhere portraying his head in a toilet.
