Of golden calves and graven images
The book of Exodus in the Old Testament says the following in Chapter 20, verse 4:
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
Which brings us in a timely manner to the Mar-a-Lago golf course in Florida, owned by the disgraced former 45th and current disgraceful 47th President of the United States, adjudicated sexual predator, condemned business fraudster, convicted felon, compulsive liar and golf cheat, one Donald John Trump (who is on a personal quest to Make America Grate Again or something similar. Ed.).
tRump, whose narcissism is believed to have no beginning, has been keen to plaster his name all over the public domain in such places as Washington’s Kennedy Center. Ever a pitifully insecure creature, Little Donny has now erected a gold statue of himself at his Florida residence with built-in 18 holes.

To assist with the statue’s unveiling, the Donald invited long-term supporter and alleged Christian Pastor Mark Burns, a long term member of the Cult of The Donald, who told the Premier Christian News site that it definitely was “not a golden calf“.
Your ‘umble scribe thinks the good pastor should apply the so-called duck test to the Tangerine Tyrant’s tacky display of narcissism and self-aggrandisement.
