What Is It With Him?

He has a loose screw... he is so fixed on seeing his name plastered everywhere!

Ousted board members of the U.S. Institute of Peace are asking a federal court to block the imminent carving of President Donald Trump’s name on the headquarters of the nonpartisan institution he sought to dismantle shortly after taking office.

Members of the board who were removed by the administration filed an emergency motion Thursday in Washington in a dispute that has echoes of Trump’s effort to place his name on the Kennedy Center.

What is it with him... does he have Walter Mitty fantasies?

The Hill writes,

“The United States Institute of Peace was once a bloated, useless entity that blew $50 million per year while delivering no peace,” spokesperson Anna Kelly said in a statement.

“Now, the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace, which is both beautifully and aptly named after a President who ended eight wars in less than a year, will stand as a powerful reminder of what strong leadership can accomplish for global stability,” she continued. “Frivolous litigation to stymie these efforts should be rejected.”

So by gutting the agency Trump thinks he deservers his name on the building?

What has Trump stuck his brand on? Here is a partial list:

Trump Tower — New York
Trump National Golf Club — multiple locations
Trump International Golf Club — multiple locations
Trump National Doral — Miami
Trump Turnberry — Scotland
Trump International Golf Links — Ireland and Scotland
Trump International Hotel & Tower — Chicago
Trump International Hotel — Washington, D.C.
Trump International Hotel — Las Vegas
Trump Winery — Virginia
Trump International Oman
Trump International Vietnam
Trump International Golf Club Dubai
Trump International Hotel & Tower Dubai
Trump Tower at Century City in Manila
Trump Towers Istanbul
Trump Tower Bucharest

And now:

Trump Ballroom
Trump Arch
Trump Kennedy Center
Trump U.S. Institute of Peace

Tell me with a straight face that Trump doesn't have a Caesar complex.

Quotes

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless.

A right delayed is a right denied.Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction.

Martin Luther King Jr.

No one is born hating another person… People must learn to hate and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
Nelson Mandela

We can disagree and still love each other, unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist
James Baldwin

There is a fine line between free speech and hate speech. Free speech encourages debate whereas hate speech incites violence.
Newton Lee

The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.
Albert Einstein

“A lie doesn't become truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good, just because it's accepted by a majority.”
― Booker T. Washington

"We will not walk in fear one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason."
– Edward R. Murrow

"The point is that there are always obstacles, whether they seem insurmountable or merely bothersome. The question is not how difficult the path, but whether in your heart, you wish to undertake the journey."
Zandru's Forge

Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.
Mahatma Gandhi

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...
― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

You've Got To Be Carefully Taught
You've got to be taught
To hate
And fear
You've got to be taught
From year
To year
Its got to
Be drummed in your dear little ear
You've got to
Be carefully
Taught
You've got to be taught
To be
Afraid
Of people
Who's eyes are oddly made
And people who's skin is a different shade
