[lbo-talk] Trump the size queen vulgarian

Size Matters

DONALD Trump's battle with Palm Beach over his oversize flagpole at  
Mar-a-Lago got nastier this week, as the town threatened to fine him  
$250 a day for violating its zoning laws and both sides hurled  
insults at each other. Trump, whose 80-foot flagpole exceeds the 42- 
foot maximum, fumed that anybody who objects "should not, in my  
opinion, hold a public office of any kind - at least not in this  
country. And I thought I was doing the town a favor." But Lee  
Handley, vice chairman of the town landmarks commission, told the  
Palm Beach Post the flag is so big, it "looks like we have an  
Okeechobee car dealer."
