      Trump: “Stop saying slaves. They are getting paid to keep Her new shiny gold color - the best shiny and the best gold. It’s a good job for them. They should like it. America is now more Strong and Powerful. She shows that. So new name - Trump Lady.”

      His hogs start oinking louder than yelling.

      Probably just reinforcing SoyViking’s point about that not being the intention of the original architect but the Status of Liberty was actually a commemoration of the U. S.'s abolition of slavery.

      (I feel like there might be a more natural way to mention that tidbit but I’m slogging through a work meeting and can’t think of how to; but your mention of slaves reminded me)
