The big, beautiful #BrainSpurs of our deluded, grandiose #ToddlerKing ....
All the world is his #ballroom, though given the profound malevolence & criminality, from #treason to #WarCrimes, perhaps it should be a padded cell, if not prison. Note his (terrific) #cognitive inability to take responsibility for his own actions, treasonous and destructive actions, "the likes of which nobody's seen before... by a long shot".

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.

#Trump demands gratitude in DC. So he put up banners thanking himself.

About the #politics and #economy and #wellbeing in #God’s perspective
Oftentimes it becomes just a #vanity trap . This is what #Jesuschrist wants us. He wants us to be able to be #light to the #world no matter where we are. So ask #Jesus #Christ to reveal what is required in your specific situation. -

“No, all passports are not being changed to include Trump’s photo. Current reports describe a special limited-edition commemorative passport, not a full nationwide redesign of every passport.”

We readily acknowledge in others an advantage in courage, in bodily strength, in experience, in agility, in beauty; but an advantage in judgment we yield to no one. And the arguments that come from simple natural reasoning in others, we think we would have found if we had merely glanced in that direction.
[Nous reconnoissons aysément és autres, l’advantage du courage, de la force corporelle, de l’experience, de la disposition, de la beauté: mais l’advantage du jugement; nous ne le cedons à personne: Et les raisons qui partent du simple discours naturel en autruy, il nous semble qu’il n’a tenu qu’à regarder de ce costé-là, que nous ne les ayons trouvees.]Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist

There is another kind of “glory”: conceiving too high an opinion of our worth. This is an undeserved feeling by which we value ourselves, and that makes us think ourselves different than we are, just as the passion of love lends beauties and graces to the object it embraces and makes those smitten by it — with their judgment blurred and altered — find what they love different, and more perfect, than it is.
[Il y a une autre sorte de gloire, qui est une trop bonne opinion, que nous concevons de nostre valeur. C’est un’affection inconsideree, dequoy nous nous cherissons, qui nous represente à nous mesmes, autres que nous ne sommes. Comme la passion amoureuse preste des beautez, & des graces, au subject qu’elle embrasse ; & fait que ceux qui en sont espris, trouvent d’un jugement trouble & alteré, ce qu’ils aiment, autre & plus parfait qu’il n’est.]Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist

A quotation from Marcus Aurelius
Often have I marvelled how each one of us loves himself above all men, yet sets less store by his own opinion of himself than by that of everyone else.
[Πολλάκις ἐθαύμασα πῶς ἑαυτὸν μὲν ἕκαστος μᾶλλον πάντων φιλεῖ, τὴν δὲ ἑαυτοῦ περὶ αὑτοῦ ὑπόληψιν ἐν ἐλάττονι λόγῳ τίθεται ἢ τὴν τῶν ἄλλων.]Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher

Power always Sincerely, conscientiously, de très bon Foi, believes itself Right. Power always thinks it has a great Soul and vast Views, beyond the Comprehension of the Weak; and that it is doing God Service when it is violating all his Laws.

Look upon my garish statue, ye crypto-loons, and cringe.
"At 15 feet tall, the statue of President Trump, mounted on its 7,000-pound pedestal, is about the height of a two-story building — a giant effigy cast in bronze and finished with a thick layer of gold leaf. For more than a year, the golden statue has been at the center of one of the stranger moneymaking ventures of the Trump era."

Loth also invoked the vantage point from #ArlingtonNationalCemetery, where visitors often look across the river toward the Lincoln Memorial & the capital beyond — a view he said the proposed #arch would reshape.
“How does it impact the panorama of Washington?” Loth said, invoking a question that he said should guide designers of #monuments. “What is supposed to be doing the speaking?” -
