OMG: Trump engages in insane humiliation ritual - Another Day - Brian Tyler Cohen

[TexasTowelie]

BTC: Donald Trump takes home the FIFA Peace Prize. Thank God it's not one of those silly participation trophies. This is just another day.

Throughout our nation's history, there have been singular moments that stand out for their barrier-breaking nature. Neil Armstrong being the first man to walk on the moon. Sandra Day O’Connor being the first female Supreme Court justice. And who can forget that guy who went on a date with Lauren Boebert becoming the first man to sustain an erection during Beetlejuice the musical. And as luck would have it, today another first was made.

FIFA Emcee: Please welcome the very first winner of the FIFA Peace Prize, the 45th and 47th President of the United States of America, Mr. Donald J. Trump. Please.
DJT: Thank you very much. This is truly one of the great honors of my life.

BTC: Ah, yes. The FIFA Peace Prize, almost as prestigious as Major League Baseball's Prize for Maritime Engineering and the National Bowling League's Pediatric Oncology Award. It's not a real thing. The only reason Donald Trump is even being awarded this prize is because of much of next year's World Cup is being held in the United States, and the head of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, knows he needs to kiss Trump's ass if he wants the tournament to go smoothly. In fact, the announcement of this incredibly important peace prize was so hastily arranged, it quote surprised several of the body's most senior officials with one saying that they had no idea boosting the ego of the world's most insecure leader was even part of their

Soccer announcer: GOOOOOOOAL!

BTC: But the only thing more surprising than Donald Trump receiving a peace prize was how he felt about it beforehand.

(video cut)
DJT: I want to really save lives. I don't need prizes. I need to save lives.

BTC: I’m sorry, what's that now? You don't really need prizes. Are you fucking kidding me? Donald Trump's entire life is based on an insatiable quest for prizes. To him, the whole world is one giant claw machine and everyone knows it. It is not an accident that every previous meeting with the head of FIFA had a prize included.

(video cut to Oval Office)
FIFA President: This is a unique trophy. This is the trophy. And here it is in the Oval Office in uh the White House.
DJT: Can I keep it for you?
FIFA President: Well, and we have the first ticket here for the final.
DJT: Wow.
FIFA President: For you.
DJT: Oh, good. Wow.
FIFA President: It's of course row one, seat one is ticket number 4547.

BTC: Granted, Trump was actually disappointed with that last gift because it made his hands look even smaller. So, he did ask for a redo. In fact, Trump is so obviously obsessed with prizes that when other countries need something from him, they tell him how much he deserves them.

(video cut to WH dinner in summer with African delegation)
Liberian President: I believe that he does deserve a Nobel Peace Prize. That is my opinion on this.
DJT: Well, thank you very much.

(video cut to Armenia-Azerbaijan peace deal signing at WH)
Armenian President: I think President Trump deserved uh to have Nobel Peace Prize.

(video cut to WH dinner)
Prime Minister Netanyahu: I present to you uh Mr. President, the letter I sent to the Nobel Prize Committee. Uh, it's nominating you for the Peace Prize, which is well deserved, and you should get it.
DJT: Thank you very much. This I didn't know.

BTC: Yes, because of all that peace that Donald Trump has brought to the Middle East. Thanks to him, that place is just one giant desert of tranquility. Acquiring prizes is probably the most consistent thing about this president. It's why CEOs show up with prizes. It's why governments give them to him. If you show up to the White House empty-handed, you better get your ass to the mall ASAP.

(Montage of Trump receiving gifts where other teams/organizations are recognized)
Ceremony 1: With that said, we've got a few gifts for you.
Ceremony 2: We have for you a full set of the 84 original medals.
Ceremony 3: To show a token of our appreciation, we have an autographed team basketball and a a Donald Trump jersey with number 47 on it.

Ceremony 4 Announcer: All right. I want to present to you this gift right here. I hope you like uh watches, Rolexes.
DJT: Oh, that's a beautiful watch.
Ceremony 4 Announcer: Yeah.
DJT: Should I open it? You should open it.

BTC: Wow. How thoughtful of you to give me the thing that my handlers told you I'd demand to receive. Donald Trump doesn't need prizes. The dude literally has a trophy wife. But for a guy who doesn't need prizes, he sure as hell talks about how much he wins them.

(Trump on golf course)
DJT: I mean, I just won the club championship at in Palm Beach. Yeah, I know a lot about golf. I've won 38 club championships and I don't get to practice much.

BTC: Well, who needs to practice when the victories just kind of fall into your lap?

(video cut)
News Announcer: The president has touted his golf ability. But a video that went viral on social media over the weekend appears to show Trump's caddy dropping the ball in an ideal position for the president.

BTC: Yes, because when it comes to Trump, that move is called job security. Trump needs prizes so badly when he doesn't get them, he throws tantrums like a child.

(video cut)
Inside Edition Reporter: He posted this video on YouTube in 2011.
DJT: And they're picking the wrong people and they're picking the wrong shows.
Inside Edition Reporter: Add to that a blizzard of tweets over the years slamming the Emmys, including this one in 2012. The Emmys are all politics. The Apprentice never won, even though it should have many times over.

(video cut to 2016 Presidential Debate)
Hillary Clinton: There was even a time when he didn't get an Emmy for his TV program three years in a row and he started tweeting that the Emmys were rigged again.
DJT: Should have gotten it.

BTC: Yep. But instead, you got access to the nuclear codes and it's still not enough. The truth is Donald Trump's need to be lavish with trinkets, awards, and prizes is all rooted in his massive insecurity. This is a guy who deep down is well aware that he is a fraud and so he needs a constant stream of validation which comes in a myriad of forms.

World leaders and CEOs arrive at the White House with bags of golden goodies for Trump because he has established a precedent that it is the only way to curry favor with him. Honestly, it'd be nice if someone had the balls to just hit the nail on the head and give him a mug that said world's best incredibly insecure president. One would think that for a guy whose entire life has been about prizes and winning, winning the presidency for a second time would be enough to fill that hole inside him. But every day, as we can see, that's not the case. And everybody else knows it, too. That's why they keep blowing a steady stream of smoke up his ass. And he keeps repeating it.

MBS: As you said, Mr. President, this is the most hottest country in the in the in the planet.

(Trump rally)
DJT: We're the hottest country in the world right now. The absolute hottest country in the world. We have there's nobody even close. Putin said that to me.

(Trump meeting in Israel)
DJT: I heard it first from the king of Saudi Arabia. I then heard it from UAE. I heard it from Qatar. I heard it from many other countries. A year ago, the United States of America was a dead country. Now, it's the hottest country anywhere in the world.

BTC: Also, you should know that many of our nation's finest defense contractors told me that my ankles are gorgeous, my hands are blemish free, and they've never met a president with such a massive penis. It is impossible to imagine a world where Donald Trump merely does his job without bragging about it or claiming that he's not getting enough credit for it on a minute-to-minute basis. He needs prizes and praise to distract himself from all of his shortcomings. There's a reason that other presidents didn't need everyone in the world to suck their dicks. Barack Obama, FDR. Yep. Neither Barack Obama nor FDR needed that.

Donald Trump will never be able to cement his legacy through admirable governance or important policies, which is why he needs to use actual cement.

(video cut to The Takeout with Major Garrrett)
Major Garrett: So that's what's left currently of the East Wing because it's being demolished. Why? To make room for a very large, very large and separate ballroom.

BTC: Sure, Americans won't be able to afford health care, rent, or groceries, but they'll always remember Donald Trump as the guy who built them a lavish ballroom that they were never allowed to enter. While Americans watch our economy fall into disarray, our education system get dismantled, our history books get rewritten, and our Constitution get shredded, the only thing Donald Trump does is keep his eyes on the prize.

1. Thank you, TT

The transcript is very much appreciated. I like BTC's videos but cannot always watch them with the sound on. It was great to read this post.

Enjoy your weekend!

I watch most videos/m movies with captions. I tend to remember what I read more than what I hear. Yp
