I know @Helobious is famous for batting below the "Mendoza Line" for takes, but this has got to be a bit....."Guardian caps in football, pronoun obsession, the extra first base bag in baseball, etc. are examples of woke things."

How much do billionaires have?
Trump just talked about $1776 payments to about 1.4 million military members. That's about $2.5 billion dollars.Trump's own net worth went up by about $4 billion when he was given stock in Truth Social, although the stock has gone down since then. He didn't work for that money, it was a stock grant. Stack cryptocurrencies and a free airplane on top of that and the pile just gets bigger.
Which is pennies compared to Elon, who is worth about $648 billion. Elon could give $1776 to each military person, each month, for a year, and it would cost him less than 5% of his net worth.
Let's not encourage this.

Imagine if you're on the open waters and your boat suddenly explodes and you find yourself flung a dozen feet away from an upside down boat. Do you decide to swim the miles back to shore which is out of sight, or do you immediately grab onto any large floating object like an upside down boat? You would be the most dedicated drug runner in the world if your immediate thought is to flip the boat and continue on your mission. And FYI, it's impossible for someone to flip a boat of that size.
They'd most likely succumb to hyperthermia well before making it anywhere close to shore.

Trumps War on Everything
in Cloak Room
Maybe so he doesn’t have to go before Congress to get "approval" for armed conflict.
I know, I know, this regime doesn’t believe they need permission for any action. That said, the American public has no desire for this conflict.
