I came close to throwing up in my mail box.

Right there on the front of an envelop, the royal 'Rump himself giving the thumbs up and a banner claiming "EVERY TICKET IS A WINNER." This from the American Mint. It's an offer to buy your very own coin with he who must not be named on it. Since misery loves company I just feel I have to share.

2. Make your Investments Great Again.

One of the local AM stations had and add this afternoon for Gold.

Gist was:

Now that we have elected Donald Trump as President, we're well on the track of making American Great Again. But that's not going to be easy with the years of neglect. It's going to take money to rebuild our military and deal with our crumbling infrastructure. And those investments are probably going to impact your stocks, bonds, and even real estate. That's why you NEED gold... blah blah blah.

The closing line was "Now is the time to Make Your Investments Great Again too".

Totally gag worthy.

rural Pennsylvania or Virginia, with a Trump commemorative painted plate -- right next to Elvis.

... a business idea for the fearful or gullible.

Wish I'd thought of it. I'll bet its made of the finest bull pucky in silver plate.

Let me guess: silver plated over a lovely alloy of lead, cadmium, chromium and uranium then dipped in sodium hydroxide so it's just like the person whose face is on it: toxic, corrosive and radioactive.

without the depth needed to be worth a wooden nickel.

Just like the namesake on the face of it.

will go to Trump. He's sleezy enough to do something like this. It's not enough to evade taxes and "suggest" to certain leaders that he has a real nice hotel for them to stay in (and pay for, of course!) He has to con money from the poor or gullible.
