By “near” I mean like a sphere of 10 Meters around them. You can’t manipulate them directly, it has to be a non-living object. You also can’t cause anyone else to die before their fated time of death.
So, how do you embarass them.
Trip them down the stairs? (zero injuries remember)
Drop their mug while they try to drink water?
C’mon, what’s the most embarassing thing you can do?
Their clothes always have the logos of their donors on them. The bigger the donation, the bigger, and more prominent the logo.
Meanwhile, in the USA:
Reporter: “Mr. President, why is your suit in white, blue, red [🇷🇺] stripes?”
Sounds like free marketing for those donors. I would instead suggest, have the logos, but have them either vandalized or modified in a way that ridicules the logo owner. Now that’s going to generate friction
In the US this would probably turn into a point of pride pretty quickly.
