LONDON — At the Trump National Golf Club outside Washington, which hosted the Senior PGA Championship this weekend, the president’s coat of arms is everywhere — the sign out front, the pro shop, even the exercise room. The regal emblem, used at President Donald Trump’s golf courses across the United States, sports three lions and two chevrons on a shield, below a gloved hand gripping an arrow.
A different coat of arms flies over Trump’s two golf resorts in Scotland. The lions have been replaced by a two-headed eagle, an image the company has said represents the “dual nature and nationality” of Trump’s Scottish and German roots. But this emblem was not just about honoring his heritage. The British are known to take matters of heraldry seriously, and Trump’s American coat of arms belongs to another family. It was granted by British authorities in 1939 to Joseph Edward Davies, the third husband of Marjorie Merriweather Post, the socialite who built the Mar-a-Lago resort that is now Trump’s cherished getaway. In the United States, the Trump Organization took Davies’ coat of arms for its own, making one small adjustment — replacing the word “Integritas,” Latin for integrity, with “Trump.” Joseph D. Tydings, a Democrat and former U.S. senator from Maryland who is the grandson of Davies, learned that Trump was using the emblem, at least at Mar-a-Lago, when he visited the property. Trump had never asked permission.

Then there's the fake magazine cover he had hanging at a number of his golf clubs. The fraudulent real estate school for which he paid a $25M settlement. His appearance, enhanced by orange makeup and the most elaborate comb over ever attempted. The laughable claim of being a stable genius and using "the best words." Pretending to have a mandate. Getting his doctor to say Dotard isn't obese. He's the personification of a fraud.
