President Donald Trump caused outrage earlier this year by hanging giant banners of his face from federal buildings. But according to The New Republic, the saga goes deeper — because these stunts weren't free.

"The Trump administration has spent at least $56,000 so far on Orwellian banners displayed on government buildings, according to a report from Democratic Senator Adam Schiff published by MeidasTouch Network," said the report.

Trump affixed these banners of his face to the Labor Department and the Agriculture Department, respectively, alongside portraits of earlier presidents, including Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.

5. I see the UK has a giant banner that can be hung from one of the buildings.

I hope a group in the US purchases it or replicates the pic of Trump and Epstein to hang.

6. Waste. Fraud. Abuse. Ugliness.

That sums up the current resident of the White House.
