AL and TR would be rolling in their graves if he saw that.  (probably Dwight too)

The level of narcissism to have that up in the White House is mind boggling.

lol seriously?  I figured that was some fan art from the interwebz.

You never drink alone when you have something good to listen to.

I mean, I can't even respect it as an expression of aspirational self-love, because the art is so commercial and craven and tacky. And its purpose is so utterly transparent. It's like some brain-damaged, infantile form of narcissi, at best.

Truth bomb...



True and good point.
Check this out, though:

Chinese-owned company qualifies for Trump's anti-China farm bailout
Jeff Stein

A Chinese-owned pork producer is eligible for federal payments under President Trump's $12 billion farm bailout, a program established to help U.S. farmers hurt by Trump's trade war with China.

Smithfield Foods, a Virginia-based pork producer acquired in 2013 by a Chinese conglomerate now named WH Group, can apply for federal money under the bailout program created this summer, said Agriculture Department spokesman Carl E. Purvis.

JBS, a subsidiary of a Brazilian company by the same name, is also eligible to apply for the federal money. The two companies are the biggest pork producers in the United States, according to the National Pork Board, a quasi-government agency.

The Agriculture Department said in August that, as part of a broader bailout, it will buy $1.2 billion of surplus food from farmers for distribution in food banks across the country, including about $560 million in planned pork purchases. The administration has billed the plan as an effort to shield farmers from retaliatory tariffs from China.

But the possibility of money flowing to foreign-owned firms underscores the difficulty of trying to craft government programs that benefit only domestic firms. The international reach of companies makes it hard to ensure that federal dollars stay in U.S. hands, regardless of their intended target.

The bailout program has also angered smaller hog producers, who expressed frustration that it appears likely to help large, international farms that already dominate the U.S. pork market.

"It's just going to help the big boys, like JBS and Smithfield," said Chris Petersen, 63, who owns a few hundred hogs on a farm in north-central Iowa. "I'm very concerned because of the political power and the power of money and big corporations. The taxpayers should be up in arms over this."
