There is no prestige in awards that can be manipulated or bullied into being awarded. They have no cachet, no value, no meaning when that happens. Trump is so shallow and sick in the head he can't seem to grasp that... but an award that is merit based and prestiguous cannot be bought because the second you give it a price, its value plummets in exact negative proportion.
