Anyone else get faked-out by Trump's "White House" pictures?

This is a pretty genius bit of political theater from the Trump people. I keep seeing these pictures of Donald Trump in what appears to be the entrance to the White House.

It's actually the Trump National Golf Club in New Jersey.

But still. Surely it's just a coincidence that out of all the properties Trump owns, he's holding photo-ops at the one that looks like a door to the White House.

It occurs to me that he knows how to sell himself..........

What better way to do that than to have photos taken in front of what looks like the White House?

And you know damn well this is no coincidence!

It's good theater, and, in an amazing contradiction, cements the image of Trump as an establishment figure.

I thought the inside of the building, with all the gold on everything, was absolutely the worst. All that affluence, contrasted against the lives of those poor, working-class brethren who voted for him.

She won't stop until public education in this country is decimated to the point where it will have to be privatized, and he's just plain gross (Google him if you have any doubt).

Both are embarrassments to the Democratic Party.

I wonder what he's doing with Trump.

Eta we know trump is lying about his height, because KJ is barely 6'1", and he's a couple inches taller than trump.
