    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?

      He is a pathologic narcissist. So he want all of the awards. Everytime he hears about someone getting an award, any award, he gets the craving for it and gets pissy that he isn’t the one getting it.

        Oh that reminds me - I totally forgot that he whined that he could not give himself the Presidential Medal of Freedom, but someone mentioned that again on some podcast I was listening to this week.

        I mean, the guy is just so pathetic. I just don’t understand how 30+ % still support him, even if they love all the racist shit.

          Yeah no, I’ve never even heard of a more arrogant person in my life, except maybe Kanye. It’s very sad and pathetic. It seems like personal glorification is his primary motivation for everything he does.

        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.
