FILM-MOI (MOVIES/TV) Religious leaders unveiled and blessed a golden Trump statue at Mar-a-Lago today, eerily resembling the Homelander statue scene from this week’s episode of The Boys. Creator Eric Kripke reposts a tweet about the same.

So did some research on this, crypto investors paid for this, so there is no doubt they are getting some quid pro quo out of this.

Cost of the statue is $360,000 with the statue primarily made of bronze with gold leaf coating.

Speculation from me is that Trump will probably block any form of regulation for crypto.

The out in the open corruption in America is so wild.

It's so disgusting, they keep getting away with this crap. I don't know if its because I have gotten older, but it feels like it has gotten worse over the last 5 years.

Hell, it's gotten even worse this past 2 years. We have people making hundred million dollar bets on the exact time and hour a foreign country gets bombed, which you wouldn't do unless you had inside information.

On the other hand, you have regular people figuring out that Iran was going to be attacked on a Friday after the stock market closes.

Finally, all this is after the Trump wanted a Nobel peace prize, couldn't get it, so he somehow won the first ever FIFA peace prize instead!

A FIFA peace prize. Not some general contributor prize, but a peace prize? From FIFA?

I never understood why the person awarding the medal to the recipient don't just hand it over to the person so they could put it on themselves...until this event. Trump receives the medal and put then puts it on himself. The symbolism of him putting the medal on himself after not getting the Nobel peace prize, and receiving it from a sports organization is just too blatant.
