Trump Orders His Face Added To The Pep Boys Logo
WASHINGTON—Insisting that he deserved a place alongside the iconic visages of the auto supply company's founders, President Donald Trump issued an executive order Tuesday adding his face to the Pep Boys logo.

At press time, a group of automotive service historians issued a statement condemning the change and casting Trump's actions as the dangerous whims of an American Bibendum.
