The hat thing is just a natural extension of no one in his orbit holding him accountable for decorum ever, which is most evident in his language. Sad to see, but yeah.

I think he’s wearing a hat more because with dementia you get more sensitive to light. He’s been sundowning more posting throughout the night on truth social and then falling asleep in meetings during the day. It’s probably why they don’t do a lot of morning events anymore. Everything is always in the afternoon.

Come on it wasn’t a tan hat was it.

Now it is my honor to introduce the undisputed and clear winner of the 2020 presidential election, President Joe Biden.

My cynical guess is the Olympics are like FIFA now, and just corrupt beholden to advertisers, so they would avoid doing anything that would alienate half of the US audience. (Though I don’t think it’s half, or even 30% anymore, but now MAGA are the party in power and they will shut you down if they don’t like what you do.)

I was confused by your list until I remembered that they didn’t change the Winter Olympics to being a different year than the Summer until 1992.

Those games were NOT PROFITABLE. The IOC, etc, SAYS they were by:

Completely discounting Policing/Security Not including any venue construction costs And a whole bunch more sleeze (not) accounting (multi Billion$, for a winter, seen 10x higher for some summer bills)

Their idiotic “profitable” rhetoric is spuriously true, if you do some bullshit accounting, whereby the ticket revenues exceed the labour bill, on-site (and never mind they conned legions of “workers” into scabbing for “room+board volunteers” which was actually a cot and hotdogs in moldy leaking freight containers)

Multi billion $ hole, that we the people pay debt servicing on eternally, and our city became a haven for international money laundering after, one of the most unaffordable places in the world now…
