In reply to the discussion: Fine arts panel urges Mint to make Trump gold coin 'as large as possible' [View all]This is beyond his normal grotesquery (just made that up) and ego stroking. Jesus. I wanna vomit. Can you imagine the hair tearing that would be coming from the other side of the aisle if Obama or Biden did this shit?
For fucks sake. Someone stop the bus. I want off this ride.
ETA: Pretty sure this isnt even legal.
