Trump’s Monuments to Himself | KQED

Why are monuments such a priority for Trump, and what does this tell us about executive power?

A lot of yikes in this article about someone who bought $6.7 million worth of fake Warhols, but the attempt to continue the deception by sending fake appraisers is... chef's kiss www.wsj.com/arts-culture...

"The forgery came to light in late 2023, when the Perlman family invited experts from Christie’s to view their collection, which included famous Warhol subjects like Queen Elizabeth II, Debbie Harry and Superman. After Christie’s raised doubts about the works’ authenticity, Roberts told the family they should get a second opinion, according to the lawsuit. Two people purporting to be from the auction house Phillips showed up at the Perlmans’ home with business cards to reassure them the works were genuine. Phillips later confirmed that the people were not their employees, the auction house said. The Perlmans demanded Roberts produce records proving his connection to the Warhol Foundation and the authenticity of the works they bought, according to the complaint. They sued him after he was unable to do so."
