9. The Pearl
Sun Feb 8, 2026, 08:23 AM

America was once a gem within a tumultuous world. A Pearl created within the world’s oyster. A Pearl whose existence and identity is that of a small grain of sand hardened by adversity into a gem.

As it grew its value, the pearl’s value was hijacked by greedy businessmen and thieves. Once in their possession, they mortgaged its value for their own vulgar, and decadent pleasures. Now, the thieves own the wealth and the oyster is empty.

The moral of the story? Never cast pearls before swine.

And Donald Trump is a pig.

And ETTD.
