I'd heard he'd created the stationary, but I didn't know about this from yesterday.

I've said this before, we've elected a classic internet troll for president. What does that say about our country?

Trolls Are Narcissists, Psychopaths, and Sadists
Trolls will lie, exaggerate, and offend to get a response.

The Office of the President-Elect is a title first used by Barack Obama for the body coordinating his transition activities of the President-elect of the United States. The office is not mentioned in the U.S. Constitution, nor is it a statutory office of the federal government;[1] however, under the Presidential Transition Act of 1963 (P.L. 88-277),[2] amended by the Presidential Transitions Effectiveness Act of 1998 (P.L. 100-398),[3] the Presidential Transition Act of 2000 (P.L. 106-293),[4][5] and the Pre-Election Presidential Transition Act of 2010 (P.L. 111-283)[6] the President-Elect is entitled to request and receive certain privileges from the General Services Administration as he prepares to assume office.

and it did not say Chicago, Illinois.

Of course, Trump has been using his building as, essentially the "New York White House.."

Honestly, I did not recognize the White House as the logo...

He doesn't want to move into the White House. He wants to govern by twitter from the top of his Lord of the Rings gilded tower.
