Trump: 'I won't say' that I should be on Mount Rushmore

 By Mallory Shelbourne  - 07/25/17 08:19 PM EDT 

President Trump at a Tuesday evening rally floated the idea of someday being on Mount Rushmore before turning to attack the press corps.

During a rally in Youngstown, Ohio, Trump turned to a routine talking point, saying “every president on Mount Rushmore believed in protecting American industry.”

But the president quipped that if he jokingly suggested he should be on Mount Rushmore, the media would take him seriously.

“Now here’s what I do. I’d ask whether or not you someday think I will be on Mount Rushmore,” Trump explained.
“But here’s the problem, if I did it joking, totally joking, having fun, the fake news media will say ‘he believes he should be on Mount Rushmore.’ So I won’t say it. Okay? I won’t say it.”

Then why broach the subject at all and make it a public issue in the midst of a firestorm as a consequence of your inane tweeting you putz?

Strawman much?

     The guy likes to joke, so do I, I get that.
     I thought I would be doing the Forum a favor by hiding this in the General Population (jail term), I try and shy away from causing adversity in the Forum, this early, anyway.

To paraphrase Oscar Wilde, it would take a heart of stone not to laugh at that.
