Link to tweet

And the GOP.com website it's on was down when I last checked...and it's still giving this message:

The site is temporarily offline, we are working to bring it back up. Please try back later.

Editing to add a corrected link to the site, adding www -- thanks to the suggestion from FreepFryer in reply #22 below:

1. LOL

2. And Trump just tweeted another comment on the media -- he doesn't hate them all:

Link to tweet

Despite some very corrupt and dishonest media coverage, there are many great reporters I respect and lots of GOOD NEWS for the American people to be proud of!

15. He's just saying that because Sen Flake went off on him earlier today. The only sad thing is that

these members of Congress only get the courage to do the right thing is when they make the decision not to run again. It would be nice if they did the right thing all the time because IT'S THE RIGHT THING, not because their time is up. Regardless, the speech he gave was a good one, and hopefully other members of the GOP will somehow get the courage and do likewise.

3. Trump being clueless as usual. Bad URL or the site crashed. Idiot! nt

4. Is this real life?

Or have I just fallen down a rabbit hole and living in some weird altered reality?

The President of The United States is doing this. It is just pathetic.

17. Always seems like a bad dream with Trump in the White House.

And this fiasco is just one more example...

5. Link does not work for me.

14. Why would you click on the link?

You're falling for Trump's bs.

[applegrove]

21. I wanted to see his lies. Like taking the temperature of his base.

[smirkymonkey]

6. I really don't think many people are buying into his shit anymore.

He's overdone it and it's very clear to everyone what his schtick is. I don't think he will be nearly as successful with this as he thinks he will be. He has just become tiresome and obnoxious.

7. 404. The story of his life....

[malaise]

8. You mean they can't fake a 'fake news award

Even Jeff Flake must be laughing at these fakes

[blogslut]

9. Damned Net Neutrality!

Thanks, Obama!

10. LOL - Fox News has a one-line story about the Big Reveal:

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/01/17/president-trump-reveals-winners-his-fake-news-awards.html

President Trump revealed the winners of his self-proclaimed ‘Fake News’ awards Wednesday night on Twitter with The New York Times topping the list.

Well, it was a one-line story when I first saw the Fox News tweet about it. They've since added Trump's tweet and then a line about this being a "developing" story. I'd call it a "crashing" story.

11. The Democrats are at fault

Because of Democrats and Fake News, this site is not functional. trump needs to change corrupt laws that allow Democrats to destroy his beautiful, wonderful, bigly great Fake News Awards.

12. I already know which he thinks are fake news.

He has mentioned it in passing a few times. I suppose I can wait to see his web page.

[JoeOtterbein]

13. Link still not working. Fake website?

[Baitball Blogger]

16. This is a baby Man.

[democratisphere]

18. The bungler can't even get his childish awards "show" right.

[The empressof all]

19. Must be is idea of "Fake News"

See made you look! Is he making a joke? OY Weird

[L. Coyote]

20. Probably Russian hackers!

22. Improperly configured web server. Put www in the beginning before gop.com and it loads (slowly)

[highplainsdem]

23. Thanks! Just added the corrected link and thanked you in the OP!

[FreepFryer]

24. No worries! the stupid is strong - but obvious - with this GOP. (n/t)

[tblue37]

25. Blank page--doesn't load. His version of "The dog are my homework"? (IOW, he was too

lazy to do it, but wants to pretend he did it and a computer glitch prevents his "brilliant" work from showing.)
