> Last month, Trump was given the “Undisputed Champion of Beautiful, Clean Coal” award by a number of mining executives at the White House. In December, Trump was given the Fifa peace prize, an award that was made up and presented to him for promoting “peace and unity” around the world.
If this was the script for a political satire it’d be rejected for being too silly.

“There is no more powerful way to recognize the historic achievements of our great country and President Donald J. Trump than U.S. dollar bills bearing his name, and it is only appropriate that this historic currency be issued at the semiquincentennial,”
It's fascist propaganda, aggrandizing the Great Leader. Don't worry about it, though. American dollars won't be good for anything more than burning before long.
Seriously, how is anyone, even the people who voted him, watching this nonsense and going “oh, yeah, that’s perfectly normal and not at all senile”?
I mean, look at this, they’re giving him fake awards now: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/26/trump-mike-j...
