The Trump Statue

[spartan61]

Did anyone see the Trump statue that was put up in five cities? I heard Lawrence O'Donnell laughing about it last night on his program, so I googled "The emperor has no ba?ls." It's really offensive but oh, so funny. I wasn't sure I should post it here, but take a look at the picture when you google it. NY has taken it down and one of the other cities, not sure which, dressed the statue like a Mexican.

1. New York HAD to take it down

NYC Parks Department official statement: "NYC Parks stands firmly against any unpermitted erection in city parks, no matter how small"

4. OMG!! It's true! I thought you were joking... but that's REALLY what they said!!

5. Methinks Trump et al. has been butting heads with them for years

Perhaps this latest go around with them was the reason for them serving the sweet dish of "just desserts".

Trump fined $10,000 for bench, kiosks in Trump Tower lobby

AUGUST 17, 2016

NEW YORK (AP) - Donald Trump's business has been fined $10,000 for installing two kiosks in, and removing a bench from, the lobby of Trump Tower.

The city Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings released Hearing Officer Clive Morrick's Aug. 12 decision Wednesday.

For months, city buildings inspectors have sought to enforce a unique permit governing Trump's Manhattan skyscraper.

Trump was given special permission to build his Fifth Avenue building bigger in exchange for making the atrium open to the public daily.

But buildings officials found the Republican presidential nominee violated those rules by removing the 22-foot marble bench and installing kiosks selling Trump merchandise.

The kiosks have since been removed, and city officials confirmed the bench was reinstalled Aug. 3.

The Trump campaign didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
