Rachel just said that Trump's coat of arms

was used in his pitch for a nude dancer auction. Sure, why not?

Except Trump doesn't have a coat of arms. What he uses as a coat of arms came with Mar a Logo. It's Marjorie Merriwether Post's coat of arms. Sure, why not?

The man is a total fraud on many levels.

I'm sure she and her staff would want to know that someone else's family coat of arms has been misappropriated.

Her daughter, actress Dina Merrill, sold it to tRump. She starred in Desk Set, Butterfield 8, etc and was married to Cliff Robertson.

"Dina Merrill
NEW YORK (AP) -- Dina Merrill, the rebellious heiress who defied her super-rich parents to become a movie star, often portraying stylish wives or "the other woman," has died at age 93."

Merrill, raised in part on the Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida now owned by President Donald Trump, died Monday, according to a family spokeswoman"

Joseph Davies is the owner of those arms.

My favorite part is the motto. Mr. Davies' motto is INTEGRITAS, which means what you think it does.

Trump's motto is TRUMP.

Her daughter with E.F. Hutton, actress Dina Merrill, died in 2007. The coat of arms may have been Hutton’s. All I’m sure of is it was on the gates to Mar a Logo. BTW, Ivanka now uses Dina Merrill’s childhood bedroom l.

as part of a pyramid marketing scheme. He's always been a complete fraud. He's the white Don King (except Don King never lost all his money).

Trump appropriated the one from Marjorie Marriweather Post's family and reinvented it. He is such a phony and a poser.

"After purchasing the estate of Mar-a-Lago in 1985, Donald Trump adopted the coat of arms of Joseph E. Davies, the third husband of Marjorie Merriweather Post, the socialite who built the resort. The coat of arms had been granted to Davies, a former US ambassador of Welsh origins, by British heraldic authorities in 1939. Since there is no official regulation on arms in the United States, the Trump Organization took Davies's coat of arms and uses it at Donald Trump's golf courses and estates across the country. It has also been properly registered with the US patent and trademark office."

Scumbags like the Trumps don't understand that they are too lowbrow to display a coat of arms. However, of course he would use it in a promotion for a stripper auction. They are such vulgar, uncivilized pieces of dirt.
