Final Word from Thursday, June 5, 2025
At the same time that ODS was dissing Donald Trump the candidate, it was setting up a bitcoin stunt of the kind that is right up his alley. The resulting scandal of Justice Min. Pavel Blažek is HUGE (as Trump would say), but ODS is trying to trivialize it by comparing it to Andrej Babiš's Stork's Nest tribulations. It's turning into a battle of the political scandal, and voters don't know what to make of it. Who's scandal is bigger? One way to find out is to send representatives to Trump Tower in New York and to ask Trump to officiate new episodes of The Apprentice. He's transactional, so he'll take the job if he gets enough bitcoin from Blažek and Martin Nejedlý. Two contestants aren't enough, so STAN can send a Dosimeter representative, SPD can send a poster boy, KDU-ČSL can charge a deposit and Stačilo! can show how the accounting is done. Every contestant will try to lose, so the last one standing will truly be the biggest Trump-approved scandal artist and can return home in utter disgrace. [ Czech Republic Spolu huge Enough!
