Back in the summer of 2020, Governor Kristi Noem gave formerpresident Donald Trumpan eyebrow-raising gift.
And when he did in fact attend the event, Noem made sure to make it worth his while.
Why was Noem working so hard to get on Trump’s good side?
In fact, Noem may even become a presidential candidate.
Noem couldn’t alter the national monument, but she did her best to make it up to Trump.
Leuning and Treeby created three copies of the replica.
One went to Trump, of course, while the other two went to two anonymous donors.
Leuning told The Daily Beast that the works were bookshelf-sized and created using “lost wax” casting.
