I don’t know anything about this particular woman, so I’m not defending her, but remember that Donna Strickland is a good example of imminently accomplished women not being considered important enough for Wikipedia:

That’s just the thing. She could have won a Nobel Prize, but her value to Trump is that her husband coughs up the money. All Things For Trump, Nothing Against Trump, Nothing Outside Trump.

“Consequential” is a very diplomatic description here.
I’ll say that IMHO he was a “consequential” racist piece of shit who did his best to set American society as far back as possible, and the only downside of his death was that congress allowed Mitch McConnel to fuck the constitution to the point where we weren’t able to get an appointment by a president who gave two shits about the country.

Because money.
It must be nice to buy a medal.
In Canada a few years ago, everyone and their dog got a Queen’s Jubilee Medal. Basically throwing them out to the crowd (I exaggerate of course). And people who did get them, oh they were pretty jazzed and proudly made note of that in some way, either added to their business cards, or whatever promotional vehicle they use.
Of course, in handing these out like Pez, many recipients were pieces of shit, and all sorts of questions got raised about the vetting (or lack of). You would have self-described immigration consultants using the medal as proof they represent the Crown in these affairs, some feeling they were more suited to be named to a board or other ‘higher’ standing than the rest.
Many were deserving of a higher honour (being named to an Order of…) … but this particular effort was scatter-shot and in the end rendered rather worthless.

Apologies, but I think this could be expressed more concisely:
The Trump, the whole Trump and nothing but the Trump.
(Yeah, merely needs ‘th’ replaced by ‘mp’. Genuinely very scary.)
