Behold, the glory of our Trump White House LEGO set
Immortality comes in many forms, even LEGO sets.
In the wake of the good vibe wave surrounding the news that LEGO would produce a "Women of NASA" set, we at Mashable put our heads together, and brainstormed: Who else deserves the LEGO treatment in 2017?
And the answer seemed simple: The president, but of course.
Unfortunately, when we went to LEGO's site to pitch the White House set, we learned in their guidelines that politics are off-limits. Specifically: "Politics and political symbols, campaigns, or movements." Bummer. But not for long.
Because we took matters into our own hands, whipping up our own designs of a what a presidential LEGO minfig set would look like, starting, of course, with the current Trump administration.
President Trump
Wavy hair? Check.
Overly long tie? Check.
Bigly hands? Check.
Our commander-in-chief is ready to Trump:
The Cabinet
What's a president without his cabinet and staff? A president without his soul/ear-whispering soothsayers, that's what. So we also whipped up some of Trump's closest advisors and mouthpieces to keep him focused on the task at hand.
The deeply-lined, unshaven face of Steve Bannon is here to direct Trump the alt-right way:
Excuse his recusal, Jeff Sessions isn't gonna let a little Russian woe get him down, he's just happy to be here:
Oh, fake news media, think you're tough? Good luck getting your gotcha questions past the guardian of the gate, Sean "Spicey!" Spicer:
No alternative facts here—Kellyanne Conway would like you to take a moment to remember victims of the Bowling Green Massacre and then get down to business:
Well, this is embarrassing. It seems our Gen. Michael Flynn minifig is no longer necessary. Look for it to become a collector's item soon.
A best friend
Every president needs a pal he can rely on. Obama had his hoops buddies, George W. had his dad, and so on. So we've included Trump's confidant, Vladimir Putin, a shoulder for Trump to cry on and just listen when work has him down (bear sold separately):
The First Family
It's a tough time for Trump, what with Baron still in school and his other sons, Eric and Donald Jr., managing his business. But he's not completely alone. No, wife Melania is here for official First Lady duties, an ambassador of goodwill for the White House:
And daughter Ivanka, in fashionable green, is here to ensure Trump doesn't tweet everything he thinks while watching Fox & Friends:
Finally, we were going to produce a Tiffany minifig, too, but we totally forgot. Sorry, Tiffany. Now, Lego, you know what to do: Make our dreams come true. Produce this set. Do it.
Make Lego...great again.
