One notable issue occurred during the carving of Thomas Jefferson’s face. Initially, Jefferson was started to the left of George Washington, but the rock in that area proved unsuitable—likely due to unexpected fractures or poor quality beneath the surface. Borglum decided to abandon that section, dynamite it away, and reposition Jefferson to the right of Washington. This wasn’t so much a "flaw in the rock" as it was a practical adjustment to the mountain’s natural irregularities.
Weathering and erosion also posed ongoing challenges. The granite had been exposed for millions of years, and some areas were more weathered than others, requiring careful planning to avoid weaker spots. Borglum and his team used dynamite for rough shaping (removing about 90% of the material) and then refined the details with drills and chisels, adapting to the rock’s condition as they went.
I say use El Capitan and give Trump his own mountain. It is already a National Park and the addition of the sculpture of Trump would be a boom for the park visitors. Even the name EL CAPITAN fits the Commander in Chief! IMO
one of my favorite places, and so many Q clues! George Washington is in spot #17 on the Presidential Trail. he's also looking in the direction of his home/Mount Vernon, so there's a lot of symbolism/intricate measurement involved. not sure where President Trump would look the best, and make the most sense?...
There could be issues with the rock, itself:

On the right. Plenty of room.
Maybe he gets his own
Maybe carve the entire Stone Mountain of ga the largest solid granite thingy into one big trump that you can see from space
