I’d “make a golden tree statue”, sell it for crypto, buy trump coins with it, go to his dinner, and shake his hand.

I like this plan. The first half made me hate it, which is a pretty good sign it’s hitting the right key points of environmental destruction, profiteering, crypto, bad crypto and buying influence, but then brings it back right at the end.

You’re going to have to be careful not to touch anything at the dinner before shaking hands, you wouldn’t want to give the game away too early.

You’ve got a point, I should probably just touch a rock and start the thing with that instead of a poor tree.

Starve to death, probably. Isn’t that what happened to King Midas?

I mean, there’s the time period where your not starving to death but, ya, you probably ded.

I mean I don’t see how you couldn’t do a feeding tube other than it’s going to be not great pulling that sucker out.

So does air, or the thing you’re sitting on.

I imagine depending on the rules, this would turn the whole world into a gigantic gold ball, which would then collapse into a black hole or something.

They hadn’t invented gloves back then?

Use the thing that Phage the Untouchable had to use to eat.
It had claws to peel her lips back, and an extender that would push very raw meat down her throat (it would start to rot the moment it touched her, so the fresher the better)

It would be fitting that his hand would be stuck upright in that “awkward hand gesture”

Get a pair of chain mail gloves. Put them on and they turn to gold and still function as gloves.

Then wear my gold gloves around at will, using my gold touch to further materials science.

Chain mail is already heavy and you want to make it gold?

Gold can be weaved, just get a pair of cotton or silk gloves. They’ll be lighter.
