No challenge is to great: Trumps official inauguration portrait features an obvious typo


"Pres. Donald Trump’s official 2017 inauguration portrait features the word “to” when its homonym “too” was what was required, a typo that apparently went undetected throughout the process of creating the design.

TheHill.com reported Sunday that the portrait — issued and sold through the U.S. Library of Congress — reads, “No dream is too big, no challenge is to great. Nothing we want for the future is beyond our reach.”

“The error comes after the Department of Education misspelled author and civil rights activist W.E.B. Du Bois’s name in a tweet earlier on Sunday,” said The Hill’s Jennifer Calfas.

The Library of Congress website took down the page offering prints of the inaugural portrait for $16.95 once social media users pointed out the error. The Hill said the page went down between 9:30 and 10 p.m. on Sunday.

It is tRumpspeak. It basically says "There is no challenge to the great and all powerful cheeto".

It won't take too long. We will be banging our heads on our desks so often that eventually we all just slide to the floor, babbling helplessly.

He signed a bill that had one number in the version passed by the House and another in the one the Senate passed and tried to get away with it.

I have little doubt Trump will try something similar.
