(Begin excerpts)
Former President Biden late Saturday slammed President Trump over his Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and other Washington, D.C., renovation projects in a rare public appearance.
“It’s not just his vanity projects,” Biden said in remarks at a Saturday night gala hosted by the Maryland Democratic Party. “He’s tearing down the East Wing of the White House, making room for his ballroom. Putting his name on the Kennedy Center. Building an arch in his own honor. Even hiring his own pool guy to fix his Reflecting Pool. … Whoa, what a loser.”.....
“Now folks, it’s not just that,” Biden said on Saturday. “The Reflecting Pool reflects something even worse than the narcissism and incompetence at the core of this administration. It’s the corruption, the brazen, blatant corruption. Corruption on a scale never seen before in American history in any administration.”
“Trump has made billions of dollars since his return to the White House,” he added. “It’s simply stunning to me. He has no shame. And frankly, it’s embarrassing to the country. But Trump could care less. Making money off the presidency is one of the reasons he wants to be president.”..... (End excerpts)

President Donald Trump launched his $TRUMP memecoin in the days leading up to his second inauguration, ushering in a pro-crypto administration – and a lucrative family business.
The venture that netted Trump hundreds of millions of dollars last year, part of overall crypto gains that topped $1 billion....
Last May, Trump hosted a black-tie dinner as a special reward for the top 220 holders of $TRUMP. Attendees contributed millions of dollars in investments in his crypto token. The 25 biggest investors gained access to a small VIP reception with the president.
So the $TRUMP memecoin may have been a lousy investment over the past year. But some of its investors still gained something. Trump certainly did. (End excerpts)

3. Poster's Comment:
Using an analogy, Biden's "ocean liner", the BiTitanic, has gone under the waves of unpredictable American politics; but the TrumpMidas, a huge cargo vessel carrying tons of gold bars and treasures, is still popping up and down the waves of global geopolitical and domestic upheaval.
Who is/will be the loser? Should the world have to wait for the answer and judgment of history some centuries or even thousands of years later?
