Trump stole the coat of arms of UK's royal family

Turns out Donald Trump stole the coat of arms of one of the British royal families and used it for one of his golf clubs:



From The New York Times:

The British are known to take matters of heraldry seriously, and Mr. Trump’s American coat of arms belongs to another family. It was granted by British authorities in 1939 to Joseph Edward Davies, the third husband of Marjorie Merriweather Post, the socialite who built the Mar-a-Lago resort that is now Mr. Trump’s cherished getaway.

In the United States, the Trump Organization took Mr. Davies’s coat of arms for its own, making one small adjustment — replacing the word “Integritas,” Latin for integrity, with “Trump.”

Turns out Trump never asked permission to use the coat of arms. And when the NYT asked the White House about it, they referred the newspaper to the Trump organization, which did not answer a request for comment.

So on top of being a liar, Donald Trump is also a thief.
