TRIUMPH!
.
The other day, in Manhattan, I noticed a remarkable proliferation of a statement welded onto gigantic steel plates used to cover holes on the street, the ones that go perplank! when a car runs over it. Here are only a few examples of it.
The statement is a simple word, TRIUMPH.
Nowadays, our tired eyes are so used to run into the name of our disgraced former president that we will suspect this as another slightly concealed attempt to perpetuate his brand, but that attempt is apparently cleverly subverted in the hands of the graffiti welders by the use of an (appropriately) urine-colored background.
