Thanks for the link with the info about the GOAT project. I had only seen the photos floating around without context, and wasn't sure something so deliciously mega-MAGA-blasphemous could be real and at Mar-a-Lago.

I can't speak to the $100 bills with Trump's face to the phrase "In Trump We Trust"; however, apparently GOAT is an acronym for Global Offensive Against Trafficking, and several places have posted images of goats to promote the fight against Human Trafficking. I can't say what is at Mar-a-Lago is for the art based campaign to combat Human Trafficking (titled G.O.A.T.).

I've always just participated in the Dept. of Homeland Security Blue Campaign.

Just my two cents. Take it at that.
It's also an acronym for Greatest Of All Time. It's probably a reference to that, regarding how they think of him as president. I don't think it's a reference to the group you mentioned.

What you mentioned makes much more sense. I had mentioned what I did as a possibility, but in light of your post what I said makes far less sense.

You were correct the first time.


Project G.O.A.T.
Project G.O.A.T, which stands for Global Offensive Against Trafficking is an art-based awareness and support campaign in the fight against human trafficking and sexual exploitation of children. Fifty-five life-size goat statues have been painted or otherwise embellished by amazing artists and, in many cases, represented by celebrity athletes, actors, musicians, and others.​
The sculpture, part of the Project GOAT initiative aimed at fighting child sex trafficking, features fake $100 bills with Trump's face instead of Benjamin Franklin's and the phrase 'In Trump We Trust' replacing the traditional 'In God We Trust.'​

This makes it look to me like the convicted felon misinterpreted what this sculpture likely actually represented and what message was being sent with the art work. Which is pretty funny.

All the bills have the phrase "In Trump We Trust".

Trump-themed goat statue at Mar-a-Lago sparks Christian outrage over ‘In Trump We Trust’ message | The Express Tribune



Of course a Democrat to do this and folks would go nuclear.

As Christians should we care about something like this? Some Christians are upset.

And I checked with slopes.. yes apparently this is true
Goat? Greatest of all time (NOT). ?

I cannot even come up with coherent thoughts to express how weird this is.

It's incredibly strange!

I think the statue is neat and I like the money with President Trump on it. President Trump should be on all money.
Why? I heard a while back Harriet Tubman was supposed to be on a new $20 bill, but that never occurred.

They do change Quarters a lot...or the gold dollar. It used to have Sacagawea etc

The Project G.O.A.T. "About" page explains that the goat sculptures are all unique and are auctioned off "to spread awareness to fight and prevent human trafficking & sexual exploitation of children."


It's for a good cause, and it looks like it did it's job of spreading awareness about the foundation and it's mission.

The OP article correctly notes the connection, and attributes any simian outrage to Christians.

If that is so then why put his picture on the money?......What?....you didn't think about that?......the message they were attempting to send?....And it ain't about sex trafficking.......

This is pretty much like the cow sculptures.

Novelty money laminated onto a sculpture doesn't equate to counterfeiting, and the Secret Service isn't going to arrest anyone over it.

"In Trump we trust" is not blasphemey. Salmon P. Chase deciding to put "in God we trust" on currency doesn't make the slogan sacred.

That's just....unsettling. Reminds me of Matthew 25 with the Sheep vs Goats. ugh
I'm thinking of the dance around the golden calf, if we want to be biblical.

Replacing Trump with God in most sentences a christian would say ernestly, I would call blasphemy actually. At least it if was said by someone with conviction.

What Trump's people are REALLY good at is doing things like this to draw the ire and attention of "liberals" for things that have the appearance of something awful (....ie...this statute or say, I don't know, a Nazi salute to a crowd), but are not necessarily EXACTLY how those things happen.

Then it's plausible deniability when really, as a left leaning Christian, I see it as right leaning Christians allowing "slippery slope" of acceptance into their ethos. I mean, here's a great example; I wouldn't expect christian trump supporters to be up in ARMS over it, but I'd expect a bit of discomfort.
