    At this point I’m convinced they’re inventing shiny stuff to keep the drooling senior happy until it’s time to replace him.

      Agree! It basically says so in the first sentence of the article!

      President Donald Trump has added another shiny award to his cabinet of trophies that have just been invented

    This was such a comical read! It’s like reading a joke made into a serious article:

    President Donald Trump has added another shiny award to his cabinet of trophies that have just been invented

    "I’m thrilled to welcome to the White House the men and women who light our cities, and you know, you do things that people don’t even understand, so much, you do so much. You heat our homes, fuel our factories and turn natural resources into American riches and dreams. Our amazing coal miners.”

    “I ended the war on coal,”

    It is not the first time Trump has been the “inaugural recipient” of an award presented by those looking to curry his favor.

    a bronze statue of a coal miner on the top and was engraved with “Undisputed Champion of Beautiful Clean Coal.”

    Infantino also handed Trump “a beautiful medal for you that you can wear everywhere you want to go,”

    He should get a medal saying “cleverest and bestest person of the entire universe”. Hold that thought. Wondering what the stupidest thing is, which people could bring him pride in accepting

    Donald “Mercury Poisoning” Trump.

    Most the mercury in fish comes from fossil fuel burning and mining. Coal is both.

    This reminds me of how I just flew through India, saw pro-coal ads crediting Modi in the airport, and then walked out into all-winter smog that smells like burning hydrocarbons.
