At some point a year ago the organization embraced a slogan of "Make your divider incredible once more" as a wink to the president's own battle trademark. Wheatley said his business groups' motto weaved red caps are a major hit at public exhibitions. 


With an assembling power of 10 representatives and an emphasis on fixes and not development, Wheatley said he doesn't expect any work contracts on the proposed divider as a byproduct of his help.

The organization's audit posting on Google has vacillated here and there since the gift. It's generally crafted by individuals who have never known about his items, Wheatley said. 

"It resembles we're either getting five stars or one star," he said. "I need to be checked on for the items we deliver, not for some political gift."
