Newly obtained renderings of the planned Penn Station overhaul show a presidential seal with President Donald Trump's name carved into the wall near one of the station's new entrances — the latest in a string of public institutions and landmarks to bear the president's name during his second term.

Gothamist obtained internal architectural documents showing "President Donald J. Trump" etched into marble next to a presidential seal at the new Eighth Avenue entrance. The designs also feature gold-accented railings, columns, escalators, and American flags — motifs familiar from other Trump-branded projects.

The winning plan, selected by Amtrak and the U.S. Department of Transportation, taps Penn Transformation Partners as master developer. The group includes Vornado, a Midtown real estate firm run by longtime Trump ally Steve Roth.

3. This

Let the name of Trump be stricken from every book and tablet. Stricken from every pylon, obelisk, and building. Let the name of Trump be unheard and unspoken, erased from the memory of man, for all time.

4. Of course . . .

. . . when this monstrosity is installed, being that this is NYC, there will be no graffitti and no vandalism.

Under 18 U.S. Code § 713, displaying the Presidential Seal on a private building or monument is a federal crime if it is used to falsely convey the impression of government endorsement, sponsorship, or approval.

8. Does anyone in the Trump administration realize.....

Saddam Trump is pissing on everything like a dog to mark his territory.
