    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?

        IOKIYAR. Also, donnie is a very special boy. This trophy that’s way worse than a participation trophy (what did he even do here?) is just something he’s supposed to have.
