Very safe creatures, leopards. Many people are saying. Maybe the safest. Safe like you've never seen before.
Headline: "Trump Is Delighted by Deal With Saudis for 2 Rare Leopards" Subhead: "Of all the announcements related to President Trump's Middle East trip, one pleased him differently. It had nothing to do with money or the military."

Whenever someone brings up that Christ tells you, personally, to help the poor rather than having the government do it, I have thoughts.
Goose chase meme format. Panel 1, goose asks "So you're giving to the poor, right?" Panel 2, goose is chasing someone down. "So you're giving to the poor, right motherfucker?"

I just showed you a photo of that 1919 in full view of the tattoo coverup. It's on his arm, and is the edge of the logo. Here's a head-on shot to show a different angle.

In fairness, that was the logo of a trail maintenance group based around the Appalachian Trail and established in 1919.

If you're going to give him a crown and feed him cheeseburgers, we've got Burger King at home.
Trump was gifted a replica of the golden Cheonmachong crown. The delicate original, which was found in a tomb in Gyeongju, features towering gold prongs and dangling leaf shapes. "This symbolizes the history of Silla, which maintained a long-term era of peace on the Korean Peninsula, and a new era of peaceful coexistence and common growth on the Korean Peninsula that the United States and South Korea will work together for." The leaders had a working lunch that included Thousand Island salad dressing, in what Lee's office said was a nod to Trump's "success story in his hometown of New York." The meal also included local specialties "according to President Trump's preferences." On the menu were "mini beef patties with ketchup", a "Korean Platter of Sincerity" featuring U.S. beef and local rice and soybean paste, and grilled fish with a glaze of ketchup and gochujang, a red chilli paste. The lunch was capped by a "Peacemaker's Dessert" consisting of a brownie adorned with gold. The day will wrap up with a dinner with the leaders of Vietnam, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Thailand, and Singapore. The leaders will be served Trump Chardonnay and Trump Cabernet Sauvignon, from a winery run by Trump's son, Eric Trump, according to Lee's office.

They're aware of what this looks like. They want it to look like that.

Like Politico should really have some shame here for centering this guy's DARVO while burying the lede on the fact that what he's saying is transparently a lie.
“It was not until I started hearing from reporters and DC insiders that I realized this tattoo resembled a Nazi symbol,” Platner said in a statement to POLITICO on Tuesday. “I absolutely would not have gone through life having this on my chest if I knew that — and to insinuate that I did is disgusting. I am already planning to get this removed.” Platner reiterated that he got the tattoo while out drinking with fellow Marines in Croatia, choosing the skull and crossbones off a wall at the tattoo parlor. He said the similarity to Nazi iconography never came up, including when he underwent physical exams mandated by the U.S. Army, which prohibits tattoos of identified hate symbols. “In the nearly 20 years since, this hasn’t come up,” Platner said. “I enlisted in the Army which involved a full physical that examines tattoos for hate symbols. I also passed a full background check to receive a security clearance to join the Ambassador to Afghanistan’s security detail.” Platner’s statement that he would get the tattoo removed came after questions were raised, including from a former top campaign staffer, about how he could have been unaware of the tattoo’s connotations. “Maybe he didn’t know it when he got it, but he got it years ago and he should have had it covered up because he knows damn well what it means,” Platner’s former political director, Genevieve McDonald, wrote on Facebook. McDonald, a former Democratic state lawmaker, resigned from the campaign last week after revelations about Platner’s numerous controversial posts on Reddit. Jewish Insider also reported on Tuesday that an acquaintance of Platner recalled him referring to the tattoo as “my Totenkopf,” though POLITICO has not independently verified the reporting.

"Appears similar" here actually means "A line-perfect Totenkopf, a symbol used by the SS division that ran the concentration camps, which Platner has referred to as a Totenkopf when asked about it, and also he's a military history buff so he absolutely knows what that means."
Democratic Maine Senate hopeful Graham Platner expressed regret over getting a tattoo that appears similar to a Nazi symbol nearly two decades ago and plans to have it removed, his latest mea culpa after a week of damning headlines over resurfaced social media posts.
