Trumps Fake News Awards were a huge flop

Source: Washington Post

By Callum Borchers January 17 at 8:53 PM

President Trump's “Fake News Awards” button did not work.

Trump tried via Twitter on Wednesday night to name the “losers,” but technical difficulties at GOP.com caused the president's link to misfire. Would-be visitors to the website saw this:

So, he wound up shooting blanks, just as he did with Stormy Daniels! "Working to bring it back up again", just like Ms. Daniels.

bwahahahahaha!

harder and longer than I ever would have if these awards were actually awarded to any recipients on any of the late night comedy shows. Thanks DU!

I am somewhat glad that we did not implement the fairness doctrine under President Obama, because I could only imagine the mischief and abuse that Trump would have with it.

Lesson #1 in trashing "the enemy of the people" press: Ironically, the press is the vehicle used to get information out to the public. The press is probably not gonna play along with the "enemy of the people" gags. So..... kind of a stupid idea, Trump. As usual.

who have to listen to whiny Huckerbee Sanders each day, should get a trophy for tRump. Have it inscribed "WINNER of Fake News". He could display it on his desk. He is the winner of the award, since he has trouble separating fact from fiction. Congenital liar.
