Monument to great US presidents: Trump toying with Mount Rushmore

by

Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, Lincoln – and soon Trump? The US President would obviously not be averse to a stone portrait on Mount Rushmore. He published a photo of himself and his predecessors on Twitter – only to deny everything immediately afterwards.

Donald Trump’s head carved in stone as a gigantic portrait? The 74-year-old never claims to have suggested an extension of the world-famous presidential monument on Mount Rushmore, but the idea doesn’t seem to displease him. “I never suggested it,” although it “sounds like a good idea to me in light of the achievements of his presidency,” the president tweeted on Sunday evening (local time). It is not the first time that Trump is toying with becoming part of the famous monument.

The reason for Trump’s tweet was a report in the New York Times that a White House official asked the governor of South Dakota last year how adding a president to the monumental national monument would go. CNN also got into the story.

Trump dismissed the reports as false. “This is fake news,” wrote Trump. Shortly before, he posted a photo of himself in a tweet in front of the portrait heads of former Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln. On the eve of the national holiday on July 4th, he had given a speech in front of this backdrop, which had met resistance from the indigenous people. The Black Hills are sacred to the Sioux. They claim the area in which the monument is located for themselves.

First comment on this in 2017

Trump had already toyed with the idea at an appearance in the summer of 2017 whether his supporters would like it if he would one day be part of the memorial. The current Governor of South Dakota, Kristi Noem, said in an election campaign in 2018 that Trump once seriously told her: “Did you know that it is my dream to have my face on Mount Rushmore?”

According to the New York Times, since taking office in 2018, the Republican has worked to ensure that Trump would come to this year’s National Day celebrations with controversial fireworks in her state.

“The fact that the Netherlands does not want to use them makes my mouth open” – Wel.nl

by

Face masks do work. In fact, wearing face masks in public places can slow the spread of the corona virus by 40 percent. Which says professor Theo Vos in a shocking interview in Trouw.

The University of Washington professor of health information contributed to a publication by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) on the effect of face masks. The graphs show that infection rates and deaths are lowest when 95 percent of the population covers the mouth and nose in public. Vos: “Theoretically it is possible to raise it this high, and we have also seen it in reality in Chile, Hong Kong and Singapore”.

Only country
The figures for the Netherlands: with the continuation of the current measures, the number of corona deaths on December 1 is likely to be approximately 10,000. If face masks were to be immediately mandatory in public, that number would be around 6,600. Vos: “On December 1, that is the difference between 213 deaths per day versus 7 deaths. And we may not be quite right. But to say now, as almost the only country in the world: we do not believe the research results, and we do not want to use this reasonably simple measure, it drops my mouth. ”

The figures are based on 40 epidemiological studies, mostly during outbreaks of Sars, Mers and a number of influenza epidemics. Based on these results, the IHME estimates that wearing face masks slows the spread of the corona virus by 40 percent. “Of course, 40 percent is not 100 percent. But if that reproduction number is not too far above 1, and with that 40 percent reduction you can get it below that, that makes a huge difference, especially if you calculate a few months further. ”
