Opinion | Trump rams greatness down our throats
Beyond the garish presentation, it defaces the presidential seal: The eagle looks right instead of left, it no longer holds the 13 arrows representing the original states, and the national motto — “E pluribus unum,” which translates to “ Out of many, one” — is gone. Instead, both sides of the coin display Trump’s campaign motto, “Make America Great Again,” and his name appears four times.
Trump has copyrighted the phrase “Make America Great Again”; imagine the royalties if he can get it added to U.S. currency in place of the boring motto “In God We Trust.”
I regret that our head of state, with his jingoistic talk of greatness, squanders American goodness.
-----------------
Is President Trump trying to undermine democracy, or is he just irredeemably vain?
Mmm, wow, that's a hard one.
I think Trump is irredeemably vain and Putin, through Trump, is undermining democracy.
