    Trump receives inaugural ‘America First award’ from Republican Party

    “We’re going to do something we’ve never done before. We’re going to honor him with a new award that we’ll present annually from this point forward, but he is the suitable and fitting recipient of the first-ever America First award,” Johnson said. “We can think of no better title for what that is…that’s this beautiful golden statue here, appropriate for the new golden era in America.”

    Trump does seem like the suitable and fitting recipient of the first-ever America First award!

      Incredible. Absolutely amazing how they can, straight-faced, declare a “golden era” after: War crimes, a botched random war Putin-like military operation claiming countless innocent lives, insane energy prices, unemployment and poverty rapidly approaching Great Depression levels (did we break the record yet?), various high ranking officials getting canned for incompetence and corruption, not to mention massively growing protests in the streets after citizens are politically gunned down by armed goon-clowns.

      All because Great Leader refuses to confess to his heinous rapes of countless children likely including his own.

      It really is just magical “emperor’s new clothes” thinking. It’s Kremlin or North Korea-esque dictatorial absurdity.

      Oh yeah, this big stupid waste of precious metal and pompous ceremony is YET ANOTHER DISTRACTION FROM THOSE FILES THEY’RE ALL IN.

      They’re planning this “award” yearly?! LMAO. They’re gonna give him one of these stupid things once a year and everybody’s supposed to act like it’s a surprise?!
