Reports that the Chinese are buying Trump Buddha statues reminds of one of my favorite anecdotes:

Sammy Davis Jr. felt that Planet of the Apes was the most insightful movie ever about race in America.

Therefore, he obtained the immense fiberglass “Lawgiver” statue of John Huston in monkey makeup from one of the sequels and proudly put it in his backyard.

Sammy died $5 mil in debt to the IRS.

So when the IRS came knocking, his widow suggested the feds haul off her late husband’s giant fiberglass Planet of the Apes statue from her backyard and, you know, see what you could get for it.

The IRS got $2500 at auction.
