In a headline that sounds like a reality TV spin-off, YouTube has coughed up tens of millions of dollars to Donald Trump to settle pre-inauguration lawsuits—because apparently lawsuits pay better than ad revenue. This cash infusion is earmarked not for a new social media project or charity, but to fund a brand-new ballroom at the White House. Yes, the place where diplomats usually awkwardly sip mediocre champagne is about to get a Trump-sized upgrade. Nothing says presidential diplomacy like tech giants cutting fat checks to embroiled ex-presidents pre-return-to-power. The timeline remains fuzzy, but the irony? Immeasurable.
