   Trump Pulls From Dictator Playbook and Hangs Giant Banner of His Face   
   How much did the government spend on this banner of Dear Leader?

   On the same day that Donald Trump said many Americans yearn for a   
   dictatorship, his administration took a page from the book of dictators   
   everywhere and unfurled a giant banner of the president’s face on the facade   
   of the Department of Labor.   
      
   The banner, which features Trump’s steely second inaugural portrait, as well   
   as the logo for Trump’s America 250 programming and the motto “American   
   Workers First,” currently drapes over the windows of three stories of the   
   building, according to photos posted online. Beside it are an American flag   
   and a portrait of Theodore Roosevelt with the same text.

   The department on which the banner hangs, under Trump, has undergone drastic   
   cuts and pursued an agenda hostile to unions and workers.   
      
   Remarkably, this is not the first time a government building has displayed   
   Trump’s visage. A banner with the same Trump presidential portrait, alongside   
   one of Abraham Lincoln, was hung on the Department of Agriculture building in   
   the spring, drawing comparisons to Saddam Hussein and Kim Jong Un.   
      
   As Trump’s scowl looms, Big Brother–style, over Washington, D.C., the   
   president continues his federal takeover of the nation’s capital, usurping   
   local law enforcement and pushing a draconian military occupation, with no   
   end in sight.
