She also took umbrage to the fact that Noem gave Trump a $1,100 bust depicting him on Mount Rushmore as a gift.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccording to financial disclosures last month, Noem gave you-know-who a thousand-dollar bust depicting him on the stone idol to presidential colonizers last year because she knew it was something that he wanted to receive,\u201d Reid snarked.
