THE RULES OF THE RIDICULOUS
One crown. One word.
You decide.
Donald Trump starts as the world’s most interesting person. KEEP THE CROWN wants that headline to stay. ADD THE NOT wants one very important correction.
What changes?
When YES leads, the page shows the official portrait and flattering editorial bio. When NO leads, the headline says “NOT,” the portrait becomes the 2023 mugshot, and the bio gives the critical perspective.
What does a payment buy?
Each $1 buys 1 point for your chosen side; purchases are whole dollars only. Initial game points are YES 1,764 and NO 1,763. Those initial points are not previous purchases or money held in a pool. The higher score controls the page, and ties keep the current version. With only those initial points, $2 buys enough NO points to take the lead; $3 buys 3 points and gives NO a 2-point lead. Other purchases can change the amount needed. No account is required. Pay at least $1 through Stripe guest checkout. There is no site-imposed payment cap; Stripe and card issuer limits apply. Preview either winning version before buying.
Can the other side take it back?
Yes, immediately. This is satire for entertainment. Your payment increases your side’s score and its opportunity to control the page; it does not buy a guaranteed win, placement, display duration, prize, or financial return. Completed contributions are final and non-refundable except where required by law. Losing the lead or changing your mind does not qualify for a refund. Payments go to the independent site operator, not Trump or any political campaign. This is not a public opinion poll.
When do totals update?
Initial game points remain fixed. Purchased points count only after Stripe confirms payment. Confirmed scores are pushed to open homepages as soon as accounting updates. A brief automatic refresh is used if the live connection drops. Refunds remove the corresponding purchased points. Disputed payments are excluded unless resolved in our favor. Processing fees do not reduce the amount credited to your side.
When does it end?
If a closing time is shown on the homepage, no new checkouts can open after that time. Already opened checkouts can complete within their roughly half-hour window. Refunds and disputes may still change the displayed totals afterward. The operator may pause or end the experiment; completed contributions do not promise any minimum display duration.
