Photo essay: Big Trump Head appears across area - Charleston City Paper (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Retired Mount Pleasant entrepreneur Jim Blain this year crafted a big paper mache head of President Donald Trump to remind people how he started a war with Iran over oil that seems to have no endgame. Now, he’s taking the head to the streets. In the months since the war started, South Carolinians have seen gas prices rise more than 60%.

The eagle-eyed social worker Wanda Sellner will be performed by Kennedy V. Jackson, who was raised in Edgefield County in Trenton. Jackson, 24, has already logged decades sharpening her vocal acumen. “I was maybe 3 or 4, and we were at the gas station and my mom went to pump the gas and my grandmother was in the car,” she told Charleston City Paper, recalling peer
