1. Don't recall a Bay of Pigs Award, but Pigs is appropriate

13. Remember when he claimed another nonexistent award?

Since 2016, President Donald Trump has claimed that he received Michigan's "Man of the Year" award, and no one in Michigan seems to know what he is talking about. Trump has repeated the claim at least six times since first bringing it up at a 2016 campaign rally in Sterling Heights, according to CNN.

16. Not really. It was a 2016 endorsement, not an 'award'.

In a desperate, last-minute bid to court Miami’s influential Cuban-American voters, Donald Trump made an appearance at the Little Havana headquarters of Brigade 2506, veterans of the failed 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion.

On any day, these octogenarians who risked their lives to rid Cuba of Fidel Castro when they were young offer priceless living history to visitors, academics and journalists at their humble museum packed with memorabilia. Unfortunately, they dragged themselves Tuesday into an unworthy battle — a nasty presidential political campaign where they don’t belong. Certainly not this way, endorsing a celebrity businessman who stands for the kind of authoritarian governance these men fought against. A candidate who has ties to an aggressive Russia, like the one that manhandled Cuba for decades, then left the island in shambles without the benefit of glasnost and perestroika.

As if those weren’t enough reasons to stay out of this race, the Bay of Pigs Veterans Association is casting its support of Trump — a candidate so ill-tempered and unprepared that high-ranking GOP leaders have abandoned him — as something unprecedented but that members felt compelled to do now.

3. I think Donald meant the coveted Lord of the Flies Award.

That had a pig's head in it.

4. Wasn't that operation a failure?

[captain queeg]

5. Hmmm. No such award but it was certainly a fiasco so he'd be eligible.

[Silent3]

6. They were saying Rey of Pigs. n/t

[Alacritous Crier]

12. 😂🤣😂

[Captain Zero]

7. I'm not surprised he would win an award with PIG in the title.

8. Hey, BLOTUS, are you sure you aren't remembering that party with Lara Trump, Kimberly Guilfoyle &

Ivanka?

[Frustratedlady]

9. That was Son of Pigs, you idiot!

My apology to real swine.

10. It wasn't an "award"

it was an endorsement from a small group of Bay of Pigs participants: "Trump Accepts Endorsement from Bay of Pigs Vets Association."

11. Fake news! It was the bigliest award ever. Better than the Noble Prize!

17. A non-existent award for non-existent help.

How fitting. I hope someone will ask Florida Cubans what he has done for them.

18. The Noble Prize nomination and the Bay of Pigs Award

Quite an impressive oeuvre there, little Donny...

[Totally Tunsie]

19. Maybe he meant Biggest of Pigs Award.

[shanti]

24. AKA

The Big Old Pig Award

[jmowreader]

22. What, exactly, HAS he done for "our great Cuban Population"?

I can tell you what he did to our great Puerto Rican population...who are, as you may remember, actual US Citizens.

He did everything he possibly could to destroy everything in PR that the hurricane missed.

23. Awards tRump made up:
