I usually post analytical, long-running thoughts. This is not that. This is fun!
If we acknowledge the obvious fact that Trump will be added to Mount Rushmore, then we should consider further: there will be an additional mount. Mount #2. For the few media figures that have stood up and became our vocal, brave media "fathers."
So... Rush, Tucker, Bannon, and.... who? Lara?
Let me know who you think should be on Mount #2.
Plus, could one of you AI savvy folks, have a rendering of Mount #2 created?
:-)
How do you see us getting to a place in this country where adding Trump's face to Mt Rushmore would not be exceedingly divisive? A portion of this country hates Trump, and they would be inflamed by such an action. And as much as we may dislike those people, eventually we will need to bring this nation together for healing to occur.
He's more admired than you estimate. And he'd look great on the Mount.
On a related matter, where would you put Mount #2?
I estimate Trump to be very admirable indeed. But you don't understand how much some percentage of this country truly hates the man. If we made a Trump Mount #2 today it would enrage a significant portion of this country. How do we deal with that?
I didn't say you underestimate his admirability. I said you underestimate how broadly admired he is.
And you underestimate how truly reviled he is by a certain percentage of this country.
