Daria News: Trump’s Latest ‘Intellectual’ Rampage—Because Why Not Target Harvard’s International Students? "Refresh" 📰


Fan Art that's totally Legal Like this Fan Post. 



"Refresh" ☕😂 ... Talk about Art - Jane💬

"Oh joy, another day in the delightful dystopia we call modern life. Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, we find ourselves grappling with the absolute travesty of Donald Trump stressing international students,


 just like he casually obliterated two magnificent Art Deco friezes from the Bonwit Teller building on Fifth Avenue.


 You know, the ones that were promised to the Metropolitan Museum of Art? A promise! How quaint…"

I can practically hear the collective gasp of art historians everywhere. But, of course, who needs cultural heritage when you can have... whatever this is? I mean, these friezes were practically begging to be revered, but alas, they were unceremoniously tossed aside like last week’s homework. Oh, did we forget about them? My bad! It’s just blue-chip art, right? There's a casino.  



But, let’s not get too caught up in the details. After all, it’s not like art has any real value beyond a tax deduction for the rich. I’m just a caffeine-fueled student navigating the existential crisis. 


that is my GPA, so what do I know? It’s not like I’m an expert on preserving cultural icons or anything. Oh wait, yes, I am—at least in my own head while I sip my third double shot of espresso.





And let’s just pause to appreciate the irony here: we’re living in a time where someone can literally destroy monumental art and still be less vilified than, say, a certain historical figure who shall remain nameless. You know, that guy from the 20th century who had a penchant for mustachioed villainy? At least Trump surpassed him on the art destruction scale, so yay for progress? La la la la, La?


First off, let’s get one thing clear: Harvard is literally built on the contributions of international students. Like, hey? The guy who founded this place, John Harvard? Yeah, he was born in London, England. Not Boston, not New York but London. The land of tea, crumpets, and people who say “aluminium” like it’s a normal word.


 Without him, there’d be no crimson merch, no unnecessarily long Latin diplomas, no overpriced coffee from Tatte. None of it. So, Donald, please explain how you’re gonna shut out international students when the entire origin story of this institution screams "global citizen." I’ll wait.


Honestly, this whole scenario feels like a bizarre performance art piece, where the punchline is that we’ve traded our appreciation for beauty for a shiny facade of capitalism. What’s next? Setting fire to the Mona Lisa because it doesn’t fit the “aesthetic”? I mean, it wouldn’t surprise me at this point. We’re just one misguided tweet away from a full-blown art apocalypse, folks.



And let’s not forget Trump’s favorite flex: his German heritage. He loves to remind us all that his ancestors came from Germany, like it’s some kind of bonus round in Monopoly. But here’s the kicker: if your ancestors got to immigrate here and do their thing, why are you now gatekeeping education from others? It’s giving “rules for thee, but not for me” energy, and I want coffee. 



One of the two friezes Donald Trump ordered destroyed during the construction of Trump Tower. These masterpieces were promised to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.


Honestly, this international student ban is starting to feel like the sequel to the whole “let’s get rid of art history” debacle. Like, just imagine Trump sitting there thinking, “What’s the one thing that really grinds my gears? Oh, I know—anything that involves intelligence, creativity, or global collaboration!” First it’s art history, then it’s international students, and before you know it, he’s going to start banning avocado toast.


And let’s not forget how art history is literally everywhere. You can’t walk two feet on this campus without tripping over some statue or a building inspired by Ancient Greece, Italy, or, honestly, anywhere that isn’t America. Uh Hello, should we return the Statue of Liberty to the area that was conquered by his father? Talk about daddy issues.

But sure, let’s pretend art history doesn’t matter.  Let’s pretend international students don’t matter. 

Let’s just ignore the fact that the very foundation of this school was built by people who weren’t even born in the United States. Like that totally make sense.

But Let’s Talk About Bitcoin and Gold (Because, Money)


Okay, enough ranting about spray-tanned chaos.. Let’s pivot to something that actually matters: securing the bag. 

Specifically, let’s talk about Bitcoin and gold—because, let’s face it, we’re all low-key trying to figure out how to retire before we say student loans. 

First, Bitcoin. Remember when everyone thought it was just internet Monopoly money? Well, fast-forward to now, and it’s still a rollercoaster, but at least it’s fancy mate. 



It’s like the Space Mountain of investments: thrilling, unpredictable, and probably going to make you scream a little. But hey, if you’re lucky, you might come out the other side with some serious cash before its not a small world.  Joking.


And then there’s gold. Ah, gold—the OG flex. The Beyoncé of assets. The thing pirates fought over in every movie ever. Unlike Bitcoin, gold is like that one reliable friend who always shows up to the party with snacks. 


It doesn’t care about tweets or tech crashes; it just sits there, looking shiny and valuable, like, “Yeah, I’m still here. 


What’s good?” Can I invest in Africa's Gold NFT? No? Darn. They wouldn't mind sharing like the Natives. Thats a quick trip fixing a dollar, but hey I'm still broke off coffee.


So, moral of the story? Whether you’re Team Crypto or Team Shiny Rock, just remember get your money, protect your money, and don’t let anyone (not even a spray-tanned scarecrow) tell you that you don’t deserve it or get in the way of your Harvard dreams.

So, to wrap this up: destroying priceless art? Meh. Promising it to a world-renowned museum and then reneging? Yawn. At least I can take solace in the fact that I’m not alone in my caffeine addiction and existential dread. Here’s to surviving another day in this artless wonderland, where the only thing that seems to matter is the next big headline.

Anyway, I’m off to pretend I understand my econ problem set and crypto. Stay woke, stay fabulous, and remember: a sick, sad world can’t stop us from thriving.
XOXO,
Daria


Daria’s Legal Disclaimer: Fan-Based and Totally Chill

Alright, let’s get one thing straight: writing this blog post in my voice is as legal as it gets. We’re talking about fan-based content here, folks. It’s like doodling my favorite characters in the margins of my notes—totally harmless and, dare I say, a little therapeutic.This isn’t some corporate cash grab or an attempt to monetize my existential dread. Nope, it’s just me, channeling my inner misanthrope while sharing my thoughts on the latest crypto chaos. Think of it as a digital diary entry, but instead of angst about high school, it’s about the absurdity of financial advisors still acting like Bitcoin is a passing fad.And let’s be real: the Daria fandom is alive and well, especially on platforms like Tumblr. It’s a haven for all of us who appreciate the art of sarcasm and the beauty of being a proud outsider. Just like my beloved show, this blog is a space for those who get it—who understand that life is a series of ironic twists and turns, much like the crypto market itself.So, if you’re here for the witty commentary and the occasional eye roll, welcome to my world. Just remember, I’m not here to make money off this. I’m just here to share my thoughts, one snarky post at a time.Now, if only I could find a way to monetize my disdain for societal norms. But until then, let’s keep it legal and keep it real.





- Peace and Love <3
