The Trump administration has committed an additional $153,000 in taxpayer funds to putting up giant banners of the president’s face on government buildings, violating federal laws against propaganda, according to a Democratic senator.

Sen. Adam Schiff of California this week said he uncovered evidence of two more contracts for Trump banners, one for $39,000 on behalf of the Department of Interior, and another for $114,020 on behalf of the Federal Aviation Administration.

The funds went to a Maryland-based firm called Grafik Industries, Ltd., according to Schiff. A Trump banner went up in front of the Interior Department last month, and the FAA contract details work lasting through 2027.

“The Trump administration is spending hundreds of thousands of your tax dollars to glorify and pay tribute to a sitting U.S. President and his political agenda,” Schiff wrote in a statement on Monday. “Not only is this a terrible waste of Americans’ hard-earned money, it is clearly against the law. Congress has long outlawed spending tax dollars on propaganda and self-aggrandizement and an eight-story high Donald Trump head certainly qualifies as propaganda.”

13. We used to luve to visit DC 2 or 3 times a year for show at the Kennedy Center, a museum visit,

and some good restaurant food. Not any more. Trump has turned DC into crap with his disgusting visage glowering from every federal building in sight. Won't set foot there again until he is gone. Even for a demonstration because we're just too old for that now (I participated in the March for Science during his first term).
