Trevor Noah says we should *actually* put Trump on Mount Rushmore

On Aug. 9, Donald Trump tweeted that he thought it would be a "good idea" to add his face to Mount Rushmore in South Dakota, alongside the heads of former presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. The president's tweet came after reports from the likes of The New York Times and CNN that said the president had asked South Dakota's governor Kristi Noem about whether it was possible.

Look, The Daily Show's Trevor Noah isn't gonna stand in the way of putting Trump on the famous mountain, but he does have a few creative ideas.

"That's right, Trump thinks that he deserves to be on Mount Rushmore. And honestly, I agree with him," said Noah in a segment on the story on Monday. "I think we should put Trump on Mount Rushmore. But not a carving. I think we should actually put him on Mount Rushmore. No phone, no internet, problem solved.

"Actually, I wouldn't even mind Trump's face being carved into Mount Rushmore, just as long as they choose the right picture, because there are a lot of Trump faces I could get behind," he continued, offering up suggestions like "trying-to-catch-a-baseball Trump" and "hair-blowing-in-the-wind Trump" complete with renders of these options.

"And who says it has to be a face?"
