So, the GOP Website Published Trump's Fake News Awards

'Tis the season for awards shows, and Donald Trump graciously presented us with his own. Last night, he announced his winners—or rather "losers"—of the "Fake News Awards." Via Twitter. Obviously.

He tweeted out a link to the list of 11 awards that are now live on the GOP's website—which stopped working for a bit because so many people were trying to access it.

The highly anticipated awards had lots of Twitter users talking—mostly about the ridiculousness of the the whole event, but also about what Trump could have spent his time doing instead and why the national GOP website decided to post the awards. Here are just a few of the best reactions:

I got my tuxedo shoes all shiny for the Fake News Awards but I have no idea what time the red carpet arrivals begin. And I swear, if one more person asks me "Who are you wearing?" I'll just scream.

TIL: For all his screaming about fake news, Trump wasn't able to find any truly serious/uncorrected mistakes in the mainstream media. The lies he tells on Twitter each day are far worse and a lot more dangerous #FakeNewsAwards

Palmer Report

And the award for Fake President goes to...

Donald Trump!

He gets a fake trophy, a fake acceptance speech, a real impeachment, and a tiny jail cell where he can hand out #FakeNewsAwards to his imaginary cellmates.

Just 51 hours until the government shuts down, and the GOP is more focused on their #FakeNewsAwards than doing their own jobs. Not only does the GOP control every branch of government, but Trump refused to sign their bi-partisan bill. As always, they will try to blame the Dems.
