I may seriously have to reconsider my Survivor Fandom.
Previously I thought Burnett was apolitical, more interested in lining his own pockets than anything else. This doesn’t disprove that, but at the least he's a whore.
It is my great honor to appoint Mark Burnett as the Special Envoy to the United Kingdom. With a distinguished career in television production and business, Mark brings a unique blend of diplomatic acumen and international recognition to this important role.
Mark is known for creating and producing some of the biggest shows in Television History, including "Survivor," "Shark Tank," "The Voice" and, most notably, "The Apprentice." He is the former Chairman of MGM, and has won 13 Emmy Awards!
Mark will work to enhance diplomatic relations, focusing on areas of mutual interest, including trade, investment opportunities, and cultural exchanges.

They have the old The Apprentice connection. Burnett being British, not even an American = questionable loyalty.
Special Envoy to the United Kingdom is a made-up post, not present in the existing diplomatic ranks. Special Envoys are usually designated for regions and/or for common issues, not individual nations. TRE45QN has already named billionaire investment banker Warren Stephens for the more standard role of U.S. ambassador to Britain. One or both of them should be insulted, and both should be confused.

Burnett said in a statement, “I am truly honored to serve The United States of America and President Trump as his Special Envoy to the United Kingdom.”
Dave Chappelle - Loooong monologue. I wonder if Lorne planned for that. Some funny stuff, especially the fire jokes, surprisingly. Nice tribute to Jimmy Carter.

AI-created likenesses of President Donald Trump and Elon Musk have duped MAGA faithful into buying a gold coin worth just a fraction of what they believed.
Videos featuring the likenesses of Trump, Musk, and the CEO of Bank of America convinced some people to buy into the "Golden Eagles Project." The videos assured those who bought in that they'd become "Trump-made millionaires."
Victims were asked to purchase the golden eagle pendant and coins and then trade them in at Bank of America for a substantial return. Marine veteran Wesley Skelton, of Pittsburg, California, now owns $2,500 worth of Golden Eagles, and what he believed were Trump silver coins.
"He said that he was going to help the people become millionaires. I could trade these in for cash at Bank of America. Supposedly $110,000 a piece," Skelton told ABC7.
No sympathy. They're all either MAGAts or speculators.
