Donald Trump and his Republican faithful faced ridicule on Monday after Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) posted an image of himself presenting the former president with the so-called Champion for Freedom award over the weekend.
President Trump fought for American workers, secured the border, and protected our constitutional rights, Scott tweeted, alongside the image of himself with Trump holding a ceremonial dish.
The inaugural gifting of the National Republican Senatorial Committee award came amid reports that during a Republican National Committee weekend donor retreat at Trumps Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, Trump used his Saturday night address to rage at Republican leaders, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, and continue to insist he won the 2020 election.

Critics online noted that it appeared as though Republicans were making an effort to soothe the incensed former president, who is notorious for being obsessed with awards of any kind.

They could have at least filled it with Cheetos or French fries.

(22,037 posts)Many high-end private country clubs have strict dress codes. These usually include no hats to be worn in the clubhouse. Additionally, most require that men wear a sport coat in the dining room.
While these may seem like restrictive rules, theyre in place not only to keep the club upscale but also so that members dont look like this idiot.

(12,660 posts)I remember the Vermont Country Store catalogue had something that looked like that a decade ago when I was looking for a third wedding gift for a re-enactor friend.
Someone must have gotten one a while back and pulled it out to get engraved.
Bet they said "Paul Revere made a famous bowl just like this" when they gave it to him.

(22,037 posts)Someone in Trump's orbit told Scott that it would be really nice for the former guy if they gave him an award. Scott didn't dream this up himself. He's not that creative.
How'd like to have that job, telling people that Trump really wants them to kiss his ass? Like Trump, that's pathetic.
