Separate from the Las Vegas Strip, sits this monument of gaud. His bright gold building is not part of the Strip and sits off in the distance all by itself. I’m going to pass on the obvious phallic symbolism except to quote Shrek: “Do you think maybe he is compensating for something?”

I imagine our tightwad idiot president purchasing the cheaper, non prime real estate with Russian money probably thinking, in all his narcissism, that the Strip would follow him. 11 years later, it hasn’t.

His golden tower sits off in the horizon in mocking symbolism of the con man who has never been accepted by the big boys. They shunned him in New York and Las Vegas appears to have done the same. Las Vegas is growing so it may someday reach this lonesome building more out of necessity than want.

Unfortunately, the moody, petulant child is the president and wields his power like an unforgiving god. He preaches intolerance and has everyone speaking different languages. This suits him fine because as long as we are unable to find common ground and unity, this disgusting man continues to rule over a confused, ‘scattered’ people.

This man has built his own monuments all over the world and has not been subtle about it and, yet, we’ve all somehow managed not to see it.
