“How can a single human being over the age of three be as needy as our Commander-in-Chief? We are governed by a person governed by bottomless insecurity and depthless self-hatred. If giving him a participation trophy would moderate his excesses, I’d say we should do it. But it wouldn’t. Nothing would. No amount of power, money, or fame is enough. No honor high enough. No Qatari plane free enough. Give him a Nobel Peace Prize and he’ll start whinging that he should have also won the Nobel Prize for Literature for his 2007 tome Think Big and Kick Ass. He’ll want the Biology Prize for fast-tracking the Covid vaccine he then disavowed. And then he’ll insist on that Oscar. Maybe we can just keep giving him prizes for the remainder of his term to distract him from the hard business of chopping up the nation and selling it for scrap.” (06/25/25)
