        I think it’s quite literally the idea that it’ll be removed the moment he kicks the bucket. Between this, the new battleship named after him, announcing a new jumbo jet design. It’s increasingly clear that they’re distracting him while they get actual shit done.

      I thought the same thing! I think this is the first picture of the whole stupid title, and I’ve been laughing about it since I first assumed they left the original “The” in place.

      Around the same time they did this, I also saw the picture of the sign they put outside the Oval Office. Like it’s a fucking restaurant! So now these two stupid things that stupid man did are forever intertwined in my head.
