“Donald Trump is all things to all people,” photographer Andres Serrano said in a recent preview for his first-ever installation project, “The Game: All Things Trump.” To fulfill that maximalist spirit, Serrano’s exhibition opening Friday features an astonishing number of Trump-related memorabilia and oddities.
Of particular note is a piece of the cake from Trump’s wedding to Melania Knauss, for which Serrano paid $1,800. In total, the Piss Christ artist spent around $200,000 and some long hours on eBay hunting down assorted kitsch from Trump’s career, including blackjack tables from the failed Trump Plaza in Atlantic City, mannequins decked in Trump Taj Mahal security guard uniforms, and a slew of magazines with Trump on the cover — including the “Best Sex I Ever Had” issue of the New York Post from 1990, and a curious Trump-signed 2015 issue of Newsweek with Hillary Clinton on the cover. As many items in the exhibition attest, the president will sign just about anything.

The coronavirus’s resurgence means the jobs report is by no means a complete picture of what’s happening
Reason to be cautious about today’s headline jobs #’s: leisure and hospitality accounted for about two-fifths of the gain in total jobs. That’s a mid-June snapshot though – since then, a number of states have re-closed bars, restaurants, indoor entertainment, etc.
The U.S. House passed, by unanimous consent, the extension of the Paycheck Protection Program to Aug. 8. It now heads to the President’s desk for his signature.
Russian voters approved changes to the constitution that will allow President Vladimir Putin to potentially hold power until 2036, but the weeklong plebiscite that concluded Wednesday was tarnished by widespread reports of pressure on voters and other irregularities.
With three-fourths of all precincts counted, 77.6% voted for the constitutional amendments, according to election officials.
For the first time in Russia, polls were kept open for a week to bolster turnout without increasing crowds casting ballots amid the coronavirus pandemic — a provision that Kremlin critics denounced as an extra tool to manipulate the outcome.
