    Speaking of love and generosity, it seems Trump is using his Hurricane Harvey press conferences to promote his latest $40 hat:

    Walter Shaub, the former head of the Office of Government Ethics, tweeted out, "NO!! The Presidency is not your profit center!!"

    I understand the Oval Office has just completed a "renovation".

    They should probably cut the crap and just make it look like the sewer it's become.

    "Drain the swamp"? More like "Fill the swamp"!

    Here's a radical idea: You don't want one? Don't buy one.

    The tackiness is brilliant.

    I think Trump deserves a Nobel prize.
    Not sure which one though.

    Considering how toxic Trump is, while a large part of the American population loves him, the Chemistry one seems appropriate.

    Should we be looking to the Ig Nobel prizes? For instance:

    CHEMISTRY PRIZE [GERMANY] — Volkswagen, for solving the problem of excessive automobile pollution emissions by automatically, electromechanically producing fewer emissions whenever the cars are being tested.
    REFERENCE: "EPA, California Notify Volkswagen of Clean Air Act Violations", U.S. Environmental Protection Agency news release, September 18, 2015.

    Although I also considered:

    ECONOMICS PRIZE [NEW ZEALAND, UK] — Mark Avis, Sarah Forbes, and Shelagh Ferguson, for assessing the perceived personalities of rocks, from a sales and marketing perspective.
    REFERENCE: "The Brand Personality of Rocks: A Critical Evaluation of a Brand Personality Scale," Mark Avis, Sarah Forbes ,and Shelagh Ferguson, Marketing Theory, vol. 14, no. 4, 2014, pp. 451-475.
    WHO ATTENDED THE CEREMONY: Mark Avis and Sarah Forbes
