This guy has one hell of a trophy obsession.

    They're all participation trophies, as he can't win anything of real value.

    FIFA peace price of "at least you tried". Renewable energy price of "didn't understand the task, but cried when he didn't get a medal".

    He's such a weird snowflake

    Its just so fucking stupid on its face. How anyone thought calling it “clean coal” was anything besides dumb as fuck is beyond me.

    Then you should visit Colstrip, Montana or similar coal towns. The propaganda works very well when it's taught from before birth and everyone goes along even if they don't agree!

    See, I understand that. What I dont understand is why every other non-coal town trump supporter didn’t immediately understand that this was a stupid as fuck grift immediately after hearing it.

    When is he starting to wear those nice, shiny medals like the North Korean generals are wearing?

    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,”

    So he won a made-up award about a made-up technology. Sounds about right.

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

    Meanwhile China is positioning itself as a leader in the energy sectors of the future.

    It's depressing to watch these displays, but even more depressing in the knowledge that our nation's power is (as usual) being squandered to make a demented old man feel like a big boy and for keeping a handful of billionaires marginally richer with money they'll never actually live to spend anyway.

    At this rate, he's a shoe-in for the Never Poopies in His Pants During Meetings Award of 5-Star Excellence.

    He can put it on the mantle next to Melania's FIFA Oscar for Best performance by a whore in a documentary.

    So ‘Undisputed Champion of Utter Fraud’ then.

    Someone should offer to present him with "America's most talented child molester" award. At this point he'll probably be dumb enough to accept it, and brag about it

    Clean Coal is an oxymoron, like compassionate republican or good cop

    He'll also soon get an award from the foundation that promotes measles and meningitis.

    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.

    It should be "of beautiful black coal"

    Makes for a better acronym

    Donald "Mercury Poisoning" Trump.

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

    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

    I could pay for naming a star in the past. I wonder if that grift still exists. Imagine what an oil company could get away with if they gave him a certificate showing that a star is named after him.

    This is like giving him a participation medal, which is something he and his moronic followers are vehemently against.

    Not enough propaganda. They should call it 'Beautiful, Clean, Greenest of the Green, Climate Protecting, Bird Saving, Woke Antifa Tears Inducing, All-American, Beef Loving, Lungs Restoring Coal'.
