"I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation, I don’t think about anybody." - DJT

JFC, this is even stupider than I thought.

On Thursday, the US president went to a building he named after himself, dished out awards to the world’s richest person – his old frenemy Elon Musk – and other tech billionaires and even received an award that belonged to his late uncle.

Also, he just had to give himself a prize, too.

Kratsios had a surprise for the boss. He presented Trump with his uncle’s National Medal of Science in a handsome frame as the audience clapped. He looked happy enough, though it was clear this won’t displace the gaudy Fifa peace prize from his trophy cabinet.

Holy fucking shit.

How many fake prizes does this toddler need? It is seemingly endless. I wish some reporter would ask him if he knows that none of those things - the FIFA thing, the stolen Nobel Peace Prize, as well as this, have any real meaning? He could have easily tasked some flunky with just outright buying some bullshit trophies from places that makes such things and it would mean exactly as much?

They partied on Trump's victory platform, too.

In 2028 when Democrats "take" Presidency, tech billionaires will party with the Democrats. Of course they are celebrating. They win.

(if the USA isn't a plutocracy, there is no such thing. This is as plutocracy as it gets. They don't hang up a sign that says "Plutocracy!")

He loves the uneducated, is all I know.

"Almost as if"? I can't tell the difference anymore between jokes and sincerity

oh he does, just the 'poorly educated' ones

I swear, with stuff like this, I expect the words "let them eat cake" to come out of his mouth when the peasantry marches to his home to ask for bread. I mean, this is reminiscent of the meeting of the Estates General just before the French Revolution, where the rich and powerful handed themselves awards and benefits while burdening the workers with the crushing debt that the rich and powerful created.

This would have a lot more punch if they didn't use such pathetic delivery, and it would get more eyes, and generate more trust in the paper too because people already know the actual facts here, nobody needs the injection of deniability. If someone threatens to sue because you implied they don't care about americans, you say "bet, show me where you are demonstrating care and I'll recind my claim". But no, we can't simply say "because he doesn't care" because of corporate cowardice.
