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.

"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"

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

(63,221 posts)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.
