But they touch upon 2 key nerves in the body politic: The tension in a #democracy about how & to whom credit for #public works & programs should be given, & narratives of gratitude particular to #US history, including the gratitude freely offered by #immigrants & #refugees, & the forced gratitude demanded from #enslaved people.

…Compared with the giant banners of Trump’s glowering image hanging on federal office buildings, including the once-independent #DOJ, & the renaming for #Trump of public #landmarks & #memorials such as the #KennedyCenter for the Performing Arts, these banners are a relatively small #authoritarian incursion into the public realm.

A spox for the #Interior Dept didn’t respond to questions about how many banners have been hung, whether they are appearing outside of Washington, or how much the new ad campaign is costing.
They are a bitter topic in a city that gave #Trump’s opponent Kamala Harris >90% of the vote in the 2024 election. “I assume this is what North Korea looks like,” one critic wrote on the Globalist website.

"Behind the scenes, Trump has started claiming he is 'the most powerful person to ever live.' A new Atlantic report suggests that Donald Trump has increasingly framed himself as a historic, world-changing figure, reportedly comparing himself in private to leaders like Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, and Napoleon Bonaparte."

"I wonder how much he's on his phone. Do you think he has to charge it like three times a day or does he have an extra battery that goes on the back?
~ Heather Lofthouse
"I think he has batteries."
~ Robert Reich
"You know what's required to make batteries? Oil. Oil. ... he is obsessed with being online. And I wonder how he gets his dopamine hits, what he's looking at."

"I’ve served three presidents and advised a fourth. I’ve been in and around several White Houses. When presidential aides tell reporters that they’ve had to keep a president out of the room because they believed his impatience wouldn’t be helpful, what they’re really saying is they’re dealing with someone who’s so irrational they don’t trust his judgment."
