DU- let's give out the Trumpie Awards

Now that it's awards season we should have our own. It's time to recognize the "achievements" of Trump loving Republicans and appropriately commemorate them. I had thought first of a small statue of Trump himself (where the statue may be small but the hands are actual size), but after looking at available options, a golden "throne" seems about right. (Available on Amazon-go figure) I think we should actually have these awards made up and present them to the "winners" with a certificate of recognition. With that, I'll open up the floor for nominations for the awards:

Clement Valandigham Award for Sedition by a Member of Congress
Vidkut Quisling Award for Excellence in Collaboration
Rick Santorum Award for Unctuous Piety
Rick Perry Award for New Heights of Dumphuckery
Benedict Arnold Award for Traitorous Conduct
Richard M. Nixon "I Am Not A Crook" Award
Samuel Johnson Fake Patriot Award
Bichon Frise Trump's Lap Dog Award
Sara Palin Award (No description necerssary)

Imagine the thrill these Trumpsters will feel when they open the box to find their very own miniature toilets that will no doubt be proudly displayed on their desks. The only disappointment will be that they didn't have the chance to make an acceptance speech (maybe they can tweet one out after they get the award). Please feel free to add any categories you may deem worthy. Let's make these awards happen-I can't wait. We can follow up on voting on the actual awards after the nominees have been determined. So many choices...where to begin.

After Cat Scratch Fever and Stranglehold his repetoire would be exhausted. He's certainly a contender for the dumbphuckery award.

2. Nomination: For Extraordinary Service to the Republic

The McDonald’s franchise closest to the White House, for regularly (and at a moment’s notice) supplying the President with bountiful orders of quality hamberders and fries—comfort food that mercifully kept the President’s tiny, twitchy, index finger OFF of the nuclear button for four years. It has been reported that the franchise in question hired and retained dedicated 24-7 delivery staff solely for the purpose of making prompt deliveries to the White House.

For extraordinary service to the United States, I hereby nominate said franchise.
