I've rearranged the photos to follow the narrative. Also, you can't link to them directly from the article. I went into Google Images to extract them.

Springtime in D.C. means temperatures that swing from 70 to 40 in a matter of days. But theres no surer sign that winter is over than our annual Peeps diorama contest. We harvested a bumper crop of Trump-themed entries this year the contests 10th. Check out the winning submission, a slideshow of wacky also-rans and 360-degree views of all five finalists.
If you're in the D.C. area, see the top 5 dioramas on display at 140 Waterfront St., National Harbor, Md., from March 26 through April 24.

The presidential election may be months away, but this satirical take on the Republican candidates brain seen as a command center like the one in the 2015 Pixar film Inside Out was a yuuuge winner, garnering more votes than all the other entries combined. It depicts a moment during the Aug. 6 Fox News Republican debate, as Trump is looking at moderator and nemesis Megyn Kelly.
Between the characters Fear and Disgust, an Anger Peep is poised to press a large red button, while Joy and Sadness are corralled behind a fence. Portraits of former wives Marla Maples and Ivana Trump adorn the interior, which has been trimmed in marble and gold.
According to Alex Baker, who spoke on behalf of the three-person creative team, several ideas were batted around before the group settled on a caricature of The Donald (who was, unsurprisingly, a popular source of inspiration this year).
It just made us laugh, he says. [That] is an important consideration when you spend a lot of time on a Peeps diorama that you should probably be using for office work.
