Heraldic Hijacking


Joseph M. Davies was a U.S. diplomat in the 1930s who was granted a family coat of arms by the British. Mr. Davies later married Marjorie Merriweather Post who built Mar a Lago and they displayed the family coat of arms at their estate. Donald Trump began using their family seal after he bought the estate and his company has since trademarked it and is using it in marketing their properties. But Trump changed one word - replacing "integritas" Latin for integrity with the word Trump. With the stroke of a pen integrity was banished.
