It takes a really massive fucking loser to illegally rename a building after themselves.

The U.S. Department of the Treasury has taken a big step forward in a plan to etch President Donald Trump’s portrait on a 24-karat gold commemorative coin.

The Commission of Fine Arts, an advisory board whose members were handpicked by Trump, approved the general design on March 19 for a gold commemorative coin emblazoned with the president’s image.

Last week at the Trump National Doral Miami golf club, a group of religious leaders dedicated a twenty-two-foot golden statue to President Donald Trump, the resort’s owner.

There is just something not right about that man.

Uh-oh -- don't they know that venerating statues will make them both evil and gay? 1 Romans:

^21^For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. ^22^Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools ^23^and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

^24^Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. ^25^They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

^26^Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. ^27^In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

^28^Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. ^29^They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, ^30^slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; ^31^they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy.

Obviously that's true. But there's something even more wrong with the people who worship that slime mold in a trenchcoat.

Its a 3-piece suit!

The tailor must have gone mad in the process. You could lasso the moon with those neckties.
