Trump "unveils" photo of a "President Donald J Trump Bridge" sign on Do*che Social. The actual bridge cannot be located.

Trump moved on fairly quickly from a third attempt on his life with a pitch for another vanity project.

Ninety minutes after his interview on CBS News’ 60 Minutes aired on Sunday night, Trump, 79, shared a photo on Truth Social of a roadway sign reading “President Donald J. Trump Bridge,” though it’s unclear where the sign is located or what it refers to.

A reverse image search of the photo shared by the president returned no exact matches.

The White House did not immediately return the Daily Beast’s request for clarification on the president’s post.

Your link: The Louisiana House has approved a bill to name a planned Mississippi River bridge the Donald J. Trump Expressway, passing the measure by a 68‑26 vote.

My link: In March, the Louisiana House of Representatives approved a bill that would name a new bridge to be constructed over the Mississippi River as the “President Donald J. Trump Expressway.”

PROBLEM IS, Trump shows a "photo" of "President Donald J Trump BRIDGE"...not “President Donald J. Trump Expressway.”...which implies that the photo Trump posted is AI / fake.

Copy the DB link, go to the link above, enter it, and you'll see a cached page, photo included. Works for most paywalled articles.

It's not even made out of metal. Either canvass or vinyl stretched over wood or metal

Used to be that I could just right-click an image, copy the link, and post it here. Then, sites realized that people posting photos on other websites in that manner siphoned off their bandwidth, and I don't know exactly what was done to URLs to prevent that, but...

...I used to use Photobucket. They had issues. I've seen ImageBB, PostImages, Imgur...I need to pick one and start posting photos here on a more regular basis.

Thanks for posting this one.

I thought it was in Trumpistan? Or was it Trumpylvania. It could be in the Great State of Denial.
