You may not be tuning into the maskless, socially close cult gathering called CPAC. But you have to seen the gold likeness of Donald Trump – in suit jacket, red tie – and now, post election, in American flag shorts and flip flops.
How could you miss it!
There is ample precedent for this large macabre likeness. Off the top of my head- recall the Trump gilded golf cart exhibited at Battery Park 2020.
But what caught my attention was how the NYT pivoted in the language it used to refer to this gold monstrosity.
Today at about 1:45 PM this afternoon I was reading the NYT and saw this picture and this caption.
Note: this gold metal abomination is called a “replica” .
Today online at at 1:55 PM
No sooner that I had time to Instagram the “truth in advertising” I stumbled upon than the caption was magically altered. POOF! “replica” became “statue”.
For one brief moment……Camelot.
