Amid a fury of bizarre, early 2018 tweets from President Trump, he lobbed possibly the strangest yet Tuesday night, saying he will announce ‘THE MOST DISHONEST & CORRUPT MEDIA AWARDS OF THE YEAR’ Monday at ‘5:00 o’clock.’
Trump says the subjects that will be covered are ‘Dishonesty & Bad Reporting in various categories from the Fake News Media,’ and an added television style tease to ‘Stay tuned!’
The tweet comes just an hour after the president taunted Kim Jong-Un on Twitter, bragging that his own ‘Nuclear Button… is a much bigger & more powerful than his.’
While there was no clear indication of which outlets would be up for the prestigious veneration, surely some ‘main stream media’ outlets can be deciphered from the president’s previous comments.
President Trump spent Tuesday night in a twitter storm bouncing from threatening Kim Jong-Un with his ‘bigger nuclear button’ to announcing a ‘dishonest & corrupt media awards’
In what has been an exceptionally bizarre night for the president on Twitter, he tweeted this
The president’s angst has often been focused on CNN, the ‘failing’ New York Times, MSNBC, NBC News, ABC News, and the Washington Post, to name a few.
One outlet could be left in the cold is Fox News. The cable news favorite of the president’s is often promoted on his Twitter timeline.
In a tweet that has since been deleted, Tuesday night he told his 45million followers to ‘Watch @SeanHannity tonight at 9:00 P.M.’
Hannity spent the first few moments of Tuesday night’s show proclaiming ‘Tonight on Twitter, [Trump is] driving the left predictably absolutely insane. You’re gonna love this,’ while talking above a chyron that read, ‘Trump On Fire On Twitter.’
While it remains unclear as to how the dubious distinctions will be announced, some wondered if the White House will be used to host an awards type ceremony.
However, considering no one from the outlets that will be awarded would likely attend, it seems more logical that the ‘awards’ will be announced on the president’s favorite platform- Twitter.
While the president did not give a lot of details as to which outlets are up for the awards, there are some clear ‘winners’ if he is going to be the one to chose the outlets
Monday’s public lambasting may be a special resolution for President Trump in 2018, as he closed out the New Year remarking: ‘As our Country rapidly grows stronger and smarter, I want to wish all of my friends, supporters, enemies, haters, and even the very dishonest Fake News Media, a Happy and Healthy New Year,’ the president wrote. ‘2018 will be a great year for America!’
Trump-watchers have become accustomed to his holiday tweets, which in the past have targeted both ‘haters’ and ‘losers’ with greetings, however this New Year he made a special mention for the ‘Fake News Media.’
A lot of people on Twitter said they were displeased with the president spending time on such a thing, but not one to disappoint his fan base, or his ‘haters’ we will surely get whatever is it exactly, as promised, on Monday at ‘5:00 o’clock.’
