Trump's MOST DISHONEST AND CORRUPT MEDIA AWARDS OF THE YEAR are supposedly tomorrow, and everywhere you go you can feel the lack of anticipation in the air.
Too bad. I loveawards season. And just because these particular awards are a pernicious assault on the free press and were devised by a president whose brain has been deep fried in canola oil, it doesn't mean we can't make a few blue carpet prognostications.
Over the past year, the MSM has worked tirelessly to help keep the president up at night, stress-eating cheeseburgers and screaming at Jared like Trumpy Dearest from underneath his bathrobe.
For that, they should be honored.

CATEGORY: "Dumbest Fake News Reporter"
Joe and MikaCredit: Gavin bond/nbc/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty ImagesNominees: Don Lemon, Mika Brzezinski, Ana Navarro, whoever wrote that SNL skit that said Bannon was president
Projected winner:Don Lemon.Trump has already called Don Lemon the "dumbest man on television." In his defense, we should trust Trump's opinion because he's, like, really smart.
CATEGORY: "Best Man in Media"
Nominees: Alan Dershowitz, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, the corpse of Roger Ailes
Projected Winner: Sean Hannity.He tops Trump's list for sheer slavishness alone, but he'd also like to give an honorable mention to Twitter user @WhiteGenocide666 for excellence in frog memes.
CATEGORY: "Best Woman in Media in a Skirt"

Projected Winner: Jeanine Pirro. Pirro has never once questioned her support for Trump, and she manages to stan for authoritarianism while wearing four-inch heels.

Nominees:Reince Priebus, Kellyanne Conway, Stephen Miller, Mike Pence

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 3, 2018
Why would Kim Jong-un insult me by calling me "old," when I would NEVER call him "short and fat?" Oh well, I try so hard to be his friend - and maybe someday that will happen!
