And here is the rest of the story.

Meet the man who created the fake presidential seal — a former Republican fed up with Trump

Love this last comment by the designer, a graphics artist who has also been selling items from his website 'OneTermDonnie' adorned with his fake presidential seal.
Quote:
“It’s cool people are buying this, that’s great and all,” he said. “But I’ve got to be honest, I am so tickled in the most petty way possible that the president of the United States, who I despise, stood up and gave a talk in front of this graphic. Whoever put that up is my absolute hero.”

Trump golf course in the Bronx lost money last year, city documents show

https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...f64_story.html

Quote:
President* Trump’s company operates a city-owned golf course in the Bronx under a contract that makes it far easier for Trump to turn a profit. New York City agreed to pay Trump’s massive irrigation bills. And, for the first four years, it didn’t require Trump to pay a cent in rent on 192 acres.

Despite all that, Trump’s course lost money for the first time last year — running $122,000 in the red, according to a new filing with the city.

The loss for the past operating year, from April 2018 to March 2019, is the latest bad financial news for Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point. It comes as other Trump golf courses — from his Doral resort in Florida to his expensive courses in Scotland and Ireland — have reported declining revenue, or outright losses, during Trump’s polarizing presidency.
Such a great businessman, and stable genius!

Golf is not a growth industry.

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.”

“On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

– H.L. Mencken, the Sage of Baltimore

I always thought that Mencken was an optimist. It took a morbidly obese pervert with a shitty combover and a hundred years to prove me right.

Mencken's point is the Democrats and Republicans would be responsible for the moron president's election. Not the plain folks.

Preying on the ingnorant mass' fears is a time honored way to obtain and maintain power.

I find it depressing that folks that purport themselves grown-ups actually conciously support and defend this ridiculous vacuous blowhard.
