Story of the Year 2025

 “If it walks like a Trump and it quacks like a Trump…”

It’s not only someone who is focused on lavish gifts, largess, and money, money, money, it is, and always will be, someone who aspires to be, and to be surrounded by the richest and most famous (to the detriment of everyone and everything else).  No, we are not implying that Donald is a Duck. We are just saying that birds of a feather flock together. In a meeting with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu the Don floated the idea of the US taking over Gaza and turning it into the “the Riviera of the Middle East”. Other initiatives that have bumped his war against inflation to the back of the bus include:

  • Golfing

  • Selling watches, meme coin, Teslas, face time, etc, etc, …

  • Gutting costly independent government oversight and ethics office including (but not limited to) his Justice Department’s Public Corruption Unit and the FBI’s elite Public Corruption Squad

  • An ushering in of his new Golden Age at home and travelling abroad to accept lavish gifts of gold! Gold! GOLD!

  • Not only going to the theatre but directing its programs right down the drain (just like all those government programs his MAGA nation didn’t realize they relied on more than their MAGAnanimous dear leader).

  • Establishing a Sovereign Wealth Fund (where sovereign does not mean, One that exercises supreme, permanent authority, especially in a nation or other governmental unit or maybe it does, no-one is sure because he seems to be playing the details of that scheme very close to his Epstein.

  • Inviting the rich and famous to his Great Gatsby party the night before American children wake up hungry because his latest attempt to prevent the Epstein Files from being released has led to the cancellation of their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program funding.

  • Building a lavish ballroom where he can fiddle with other people and ideas while the nation continues to be burned at the cash register. But hey, as far as the marionettes in his puppet party/cabinet are concerned MAGA nation can still afford twinkies (a kind of cake) so leave us to enjoy our victory dance with ones who brought us.

  • Building a victory Arch (so everyone who is not invited to the ball can at least take a selfie to remind them of their part in wresting democracy from the unwashed masses and returning control to their Royal Heinie and his courtiers.

— Donald Trump (during his election campaign in Oct. 2024 when asked if Gaza could be rebuilt)

Related Statistic: Almost one in three people who live in Monaco is a millionaire. The average home in Monaco costs $4,560 per square foot. Well over what you would pay in Hong Kong $2,859 /ft2 or New York City’s Manhattan district $1,773 /ft2.
