The British are known to take matters of heraldry seriously, and Trumps American coat of arms belongs to another family. It was granted by British authorities in 1939 to Joseph Edward Davies, husband of Marjorie Merriweather Post, the socialite who built the Mar-a-Lago resort that is now Trumps cherished getaway. Trump had never asked permission.
In the United States, the Trump Organization took Mr. Daviess coat of arms for its own, making one small adjustment replacing the word Integritas, Latin for integrity, with Trump.
Trump tried to bring the American version to Scotland a decade ago. But the materials ran afoul of the coat-of-arms authorities in Scotland. Trump also tried to trademark the emblem in Britain. But the application was rejected by their trademark office. The White House referred questions to the Trump Organization, which did not respond to requests for comment.

The crest, on the right, that President Trump displays at his American properties is a coat of arms ... the crest, on the left, that British authorities granted to another family.

My husband said (translating from the Spanish saying) "The dream of a whore with money."
I think that phrase is even better than the word "tacky"
