"I have lots of buildings, but I don't have statue"

In statement Sunday morning, following intense protests of his speech on Saturday, Trump has unveiled new plans for the Mt. Rushmore monument.


Trump appears to be answering the calls of protestors in his announcing of plans to remove "those statues of random old guys who everyone considers racist".


"This is the best solution," said Trump, "when you look at the mountain--really it's a great beautiful mountain, a big beautiful mountain. You think, why not? You know, we've got all this mountain, and how many presidents are there? There might be room up there for me, you know, maybe. Might be a good idea."


Trump, taking comments near his helicopter bound for Potomac Falls, hinted he might consider including his own image on the mountain.


"Why not--people say--and they do say this--they always say, maybe you could be a monument. And I think I agree, I really agree. I have a very presidential look. I have lots of buildings but I don't have statue."


"Lots of patriots, the patriots on that mountain, and people hate them and that's a really sad thing to see. It's a sad thing to see. So I'll give them options. Let's see how they like the options."


At press time, The Ivy Collegiate reported Trump had circulated an internal memo calling for re-allocation of up to $3 billion of the US Military's construction budget.
