5. Bergum is a yes man and billionaire golf buddy. He's probably got some quid pro quo.

Just looking at the stone surrounding Rushmore you can see that there is no room for another face and the original architect said that the stone is difficult to work with and wouldn't support another face.

If they try anything they will probably destroy the existing structure and maybe even permanently damage one of the end faces (Lincoln and Washington) if they try to squeeze anything next to them. Trump wouldn't care though. He doesn't care about the damage he's already done to the White House or the US bases destroyed in the Persian Gulf.
