Fox News Host Asks Most Bootlicking Question About Donald Trump Yet
Fox News' Will Cain on Tuesday floated the idea of President Donald Trump being immortalized on Mount Rushmore.
Cain, a vocal supporter of Trump, praised the president's impact before asking the sycophantic question: 'It is not partisan at this point to say, is this presidency not one that puts itself in company of those who've had their faces carved into mountains? At this point, is the presidency of Donald Trump on the level of Mount Rushmore?'
Cain later cut to a clip where he asked commentator Michael Malice if Trump had 'put himself in position to be a Mount Rushmore-level president.'
'I contend that I think he's one of the most consequential presidents of at least the last half century,' Cain argued.
Watch here:
The host isn't the first conservative to push the idea.
In January, just days after Trump returned to the White House, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) introduced a bill to add Trump's likeness to the South Dakota monument, citing his 'remarkable accomplishments' and claiming he would 'continue to deliver success.'
Mount Rushmore currently features the faces of Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt.
National Park Service officials have previously said a lack of space and structural issues could put paid to plans to carve Trump alongside them.
Trump himself, though, has long talked about the idea.
In 2017, he told supporters at a rally: 'I'd ask whether or not you think I will someday be on Mount Rushmore. But no, 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.''

Vital wins Democratic primary for Spring Valley mayor: Results of Spring Valley races
SPRING VALLEY - Former Clarkstown Democratic Party chair Schenley Vital surged to victory over four rivals in the Democratic Party primary for village mayor, as Trustee Joseph Gross and former Trustee Sherry McGill won two available seats on the Board of Trustees in a three-way primary, according to unofficial results from the Rockland County Board of Elections. With registered Democrats holding a voter registration edge and strong support from the Hasidic Jewish bloc vote, Vital is likely to become the village's next mayor in the Nov. 4 election. The term is four years, starting in December. In November, Vital will face Aaron Stern, who won the Republican primary over Democrat Darnett E. Davis, one of the candidates who lost to Vital. Spring Valley is a predominantly working-class village with pockets of families relying on social services and other government programs. The government has a history of conflicts between the mayor and some of the trustees. A former mayor and trustee were convicted of taking bribes during a federal government sting operation involving a Monsey developer. The village comprises several voting blocs, including the Hasidic Jewish voters, Haitian and other voters who hail from Caribbean nations like Jamaica, and Hispanic voters. Vital garnered 627 votes, outdistancing former Trustee Eudson Francois with 421 tallies. Former Mayor Noramie Jasmin, attempting a second comeback after serving a federal prison term for accepting bribes, received 196 votes, as Davis with 186 votes and Chrispin Eugene with 41 tallies trailed the field. Vital, who lives in Clarkstown with his family, must establish residency in Spring Valley if he becomes mayor. He ran with Trustee Joseph Gross and newcomer Yakov Yosef Kaufman, who is active in the Orthodox Jewish community and is a member of Chaverim of Rockland, a volunteer emergency services organization that helps residents in need and works with the police. Vital, Gross, and Kaufman benefited from the support of the village's Hasidic Jewish bloc vote. They had met with rabbinical leaders, posing for photos printed in the local blogs covering the village and religious community. McGill became the leading vote-getter for the Board of Trustees spots. She's a former Spring Valley trustee and currently serves on the East Ramapo Board of Education. McGill, a teacher with a master's degree in special education, garnered 763 votes, according to the Board of Elections' unofficial results. Gross received 725 votes, while Kaufman trailed with 619 votes. Two-term Mayor Alan Simon, who took office in December 2017, declined to seek another four-year term. Simon won a Democratic Party primary in September 2017 against then-Mayor Demeza Delhomme before cruising to victory in November. Simon's departure in December will end his controversial two terms. Elected after being disbarred and removed as a judge, Simon became known for his public outbursts, which included cursing and yelling at residents, trustees, and staff, as well as threats to fire government workers and police officers who refused his order to arrest people. During his tenure, the village government saw the Building Department taken over by the state for a lack of enforcement. The county government now inspects and prosecutes violations of fire and safety codes. Incumbent village justice James Mellion and Justin Sweet won three-way primaries for the Democratic, Republican, Conservative, and Working Families ballot lines in November. They defeated attorney Ariel Dahan. Steve Lieberman covers government, breaking news, courts, police, and investigations. Reach him at slieberm@ Twitter: @lohudlegal. Read more articles and bio.

Collins-Bellamy wins 5-way Yonkers council president race: Top Westchester primary results
Yonkers City Council President Lakisha Collins-Bellamy cruised to victory in a sprawling five-way primary that pitted her against two predecessors and two other Democrats in a citywide election. Collins-Bellamy, an attorney first elected to lead the seven-member council in 2021, led her nearest rival by more than 800 votes in unofficial tallies as of early Wednesday, June 25. Running second was Mike Khader, who was attempting a comeback after serving four years as council president and losing the post to Collins-Bellamy. Also seeking to reclaim the gavel was Chuck Lesnick, a former two-term president who came in third. Unofficial tallies for the five candidates as reported by the Westchester County Board of Elections were: Collins-Bellamy, 2,180; Khader, 1,317; Lesnick, 927; Tasha Diaz, 568; and Peter Spano, 551. Yonkers also held two other primaries for council president on Tuesday. Dean Politopoulos beat Ronald Schutte in the Republican primary, and Angelique Lopez beat Resnick for the Working Families Party ballot line. The results set up a general election race in November with Collins-Bellamy, Politopoulos and Lopez competing for a four-year term as council president. Collins-Bellamy was backed by the Democratic establishment in her re-election bid, with endorsements from Mayor Mike Spano, Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins and the Yonkers Democratic Committee. She also had the support of police and teachers' unions in the city of 208,000, the third largest city in New York state. Here are a few other notable primary results in Westchester County on Tuesday: Richard Dionisio, the Harrison mayor and supervisor, lost his quest for a third term with defeats in three separate primaries he waged to remain in office. Headed for a three-way faceoff in November are the winners of those races: Republican Tom Scappaticci, Democrat Mark Jaffe and Conservative Mary Malara. Dionisio, a Republican, had returned to office in an unusual way last year. He lost his re-election race in November 2023, but later won a protracted court fight that ultimately disqualified the winner — Ron Belmont, a former mayor and supervisor ― because of a five-term limit that Harrison voters approved in that same election. On Tuesday, Dionisio was soundly turned away by voters in the growing town and village of 31,000. The party-endorsed Scappaticci won the Republican primary, 535-195. Jaffe prevailed in the Democratic contest, 510-111. And Malara won the Conservative Party ballot line, 25-16. White Plains Councilman Justin Brasch sailed to victory in a Democratic primary contest to become the city's first new mayor in 15 years. He will face Republican Lenny Lolis in November's general election. Brasch and Nadine Hunt-Robinson, a former council member, were competing for the nomination to succeed Tom Roach, who has led the city of 61,000 since 2011 and passed up re-election to run instead for Westchester County clerk. Brash led Hunt-Robinson 1,803-1,053 in unofficial tallies. Chris McKenna covers government and politics for The Journal News and USA Today Network.
