3. Trump put himself on the board, right? Then all the acts cancelled. A little pushback is nice.

5. Not exactly. Jerome Powell is the Chairman of the Federal Reserve

The Federal Reserve is the organization that safeguards our money supply, and monitors inflation and other financial trends. Mr. Powell has served under Chump and Biden and his term is about to end. The guy that Chump nominated to replace Powell as Chairman is controversial because he's named in the Epstein files. Congress may not approve the replacement.

7. Oops. You're right of course. My mistake.

6. It's not a Kennedy Center honor. The Profiles in Courage Award is out of Trump's control.

"The winners of the award are selected by a committee named by the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation, which includes members of the Kennedy family and other prominent Americans."--from Wikipedia

Certainly those who select the award winners look for someone who stands up to power, which these days is Trump. So how could this honor go to anyone but a Trump opponent? The very existence of such an award is kind of pushback against Trump.

8. I'll say it again, "Oops, my mistake".

4. Delicious! Like a cactus up trump's arse.

10. Kennedy family member laughs off Trump getting a 'Profiles in Courage' award suggestion

The concept that trump deserves a Profile in Courage award made me laugh. I also love the fact that Jerome Powell and the City of Minneapolis got these awards. The grants of these awards to Powell and Minneapolis are basically great F##K Yous to trump

During an appearance on MS NOW’s “The Weekend,” Jack Schlossberg, son of Caroline Kennedy, burst into laughter at the suggestion that Donald Trump might want to be given one of the “Profiles in Courage" awards that have been given to Democrats and Republicans alike.

Appearing to promote the upcoming ceremony for the award given annually by the Kennedy family to recognize displays of courage similar to those former President John F. Kennedy, Sclossberg was put on the spot by co-host Jackie Alemany.

“There have been a number of notable recipients who have received the JFK Profile in Courage award in the past decade,” Alemany prompted her guest. “There's Jerome Powell, Barack Obama, Mike Pence, George H.W. Bush, Zelenskyy, Gabby Giffords, Mitt Romney, John Lewis. Obviously, a number of those people are Republicans.”

“Given Donald Trump's proclivity for anything with the last name Kennedy on it and his love of receiving awards, is there anything that would ever warrant your family's consideration of Donald Trump receiving this award? Anything that he could do that would make you all consider that?” she asked.

After a short burst of laughter, Scholssberg smirked and checked off a list of suggestions for the always attention-starved president.

“If President Trump admitted to the many crimes and the grift that he has committed while president in office, stepped down and handed over the power of the presidency to somebody responsible and not somebody in his own cabinet,” he replied with tongue in cheek.
