SPOTTED: A golden statue of President Trump rubbing his foot has appeared near the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden at 7th Street and Madison Drive NW. The satirical monument, installed just ahead of Veterans Day, mocks Trump’s Vietnam War draft deferment for bone spurs.

Fwiw, @AbdulElSayed wore a limited edition @grandseikousa Spring Drive GMT Chronograph last night, reference SBGC249. Only 700 made, retailed for $12k when released in 2022. Absolutely an "if you know, you know" choice. cc: @watchesofespion

Have noticed more protective measures during this POTUS trip - including air defense systems on a barge, an anti drone system on the Palm Beach causeway and in Dubuque, and a raised platform of some kind in Palm Beach airport - than during previous pool trips All this has been around to some degree for a long time. But appears beefed up
