Taking to Twitter on Sunday, Trump called the reports “fake news,” though he added that it “sounds like a good idea to me”.

The President was referring to a report by The New York Times that said a White House aide had contacted Noem’s office last year to ask about the process for adding new Presidents to Mount Rushmore.

In his tweet, Trump said: “This is Fake News by the failing @nytimes & bad ratings @CNN. Never suggested it although, based on all of the many things accomplished during the first 3 1/2 years, perhaps more than any other Presidency, sounds like a good idea to me.”
