🏆 Welcome to the non-televised portion of the People’s Choice Awards for the 2nd ever GRIFTYS 🏆 

I am your humble host, Moira Rose! We are live from the Second Street Playhouse in Elmdale for a star-studded event highlighting the worst of 2020's Trump fundraising emails.
Donald J. Trump & DonaldJTrump•com send the most emails, but they have plenty of support. Our 2020 finalists for Best Supporting Actor included Mike Pence, Eric Trump, and Lara Trump.

With 152 emails, the GRIFTY goes to:

🏆 the President’s large adult bébé, DONALD TRUMP JR. 🏆 Image
The campaign emails portray many political opponents as enemies: AOC, Ilhan Omar, Adam Schiff, Hillary Clinton, etc. 

But with 6️⃣1️⃣7️⃣ references since becoming the Democratic candidate in April, the GRIFTY for Best Villain goes to: 

🏆 JOE BIDEN 🏆 Image
Most emails came from Trump supporters, but one surprised us more than a little bit.

The GRIFTY for Weirdest Cameo goes to: 

🏆 KAMALA HARRIS 🏆
44 emails in 2020 said “this is your country, not theirs” (talking about Democrats, the Radical Left etc.), but one sender stood out. 

With 16 emails, the GRIFTY for Hyperbole - Saying Political Opponents Aren’t Americans goes to: 

🏆 DONALD J. TRUMP 🏆
Is MSM the enemy? The Trump campaign certainly thinks so! With 4 of the 6 emails from 2020 that made this claim, the GRIFTY for Hyperbole - Saying the Mainstream Media are the Enemy of the People goes to:
 
🏆 DONALDJTRUMP•COM 🏆
And now it is time for our first entertainment break. Please welcome to the stage one of the four worst White House Press Secretaries of the Trump era: SEAN SPICER!
Thank you, Sean. I haven’t seen a shirt like that since I was on set for “The Crows Have Eyes III: The Crowening.”

(pause for laughter)
Back to the awards! The GRIFTY for Most Convoluted Grifting Technique goes to:

🏆 MELANIA’S MATCHING CHECK 🏆

X emailed you. 

Y emailed you.

Z emailed you.

And now I’m emailing you. Again.

The GRIFTY for Comedy - Exasperated Guilt Trips goes to:

🏆 DONALD J. TRUMP 🏆 

(This is his second win in this category. He previously won in 2019)
"I’m feeling really good! In fact, I feel better than I did 20 years ago.

I’m telling you: Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life!” 

The GRIFTY for Worst COVID Advice goes to:

🏆 DONALD J. TRUMP 🏆
The GRIFTY for Most Authentic Group Text that Totally Happened and Was Featured in a Fundraising Email goes to:

🏆 THE FIRST FAMILY 🏆

Image
When one of us shines, all of us shine. The Trump campaign has hawked a lot of books, but one email stood out above the rest. The GRIFTY for Blending a Presidential Campaign with “News” goes to:

🏆 DONALD J. TRUMP AND SEAN HANNITY 🏆
Speaking of “news.” The GRIFTY for Actual Fake News in a Fundraising Email Attempting to Overturn Democracy goes to:

🏆 THE EPOCH TIMES 🏆
Image
And now we have another entertainment break! Please give a big round of applause for former Vice Presidential Candidate and Front Porch Russia-Viewer SARAH PALIN!
Thank you, Sarah. That was...certainly a thing...that happened. 

You do realize I’m a professional vocalist?
The Harry S. Truman Memorial “Dewey Defeats Truman” GRIFTY goes to:

🏆 DONALDJTRUMP•COM 🏆
The campaign teed up 500%, 600%, 700% match offers and finally reached the mountaintop with “Increase Your Impact by 1000%” - which wasn’t a match, but asked *you* to donate 10 additional times.

The GRIFTY for Bait & Switch goes to:

🏆 DONALD J. TRUMP 🏆
It’s no secret that Donald J. Trump lobbied hard for the Nobel Peace Prize, despite a complete and utter lack of qualifications.

The GRIFTY for Comedy - Best Use of Clip Art to Stand In for a Prestigious Award goes to:

🏆 DONALDJTRUMP•COM 🏆
Image
We have now come to our first-ever People’s Choice Award!! We asked for your favorite “exclusive membership” grifting attempt in 2020. By a *SINGLE* vote out of 298 total, the GRIFTY goes to:

🏆 EXECUTIVE MEMBERSHIP 🏆

Image
Sometimes the campaign’s email writers seemed bored, lethargic and practically dripping with ennui. The GRIFTY for Most Common Subject Line is a TIE, with 15 appearances each:

🏆 LAST CHANCE and WHAT DO YOU THINK? 🏆 ImageImage
With 16 appearances, the GRIFTY for Most Common Preheader goes to:

🏆 PRESIDENT TRUMP WANTS TO KNOW 🏆 Image
I was asked to donate money a whopping 2,206 times in 2020. The GRIFTY for Most Common Action Requested goes to:

🏆 CONTRIBUTE 🏆 Image
I was told that the upcoming FEC deadline was the most important one yet 416 times in 2020. The GRIFTY for Most Common Overarching Theme goes to:

🏆 END-OF-MONTH DEADLINES 🏆 Image
That’s our show. Congratulations to all the winners! I cannot wait to see you all at the afterparty in Mar-a-Lago, where Vanilla Ice will be taking the stage shortly. You can't fathom how awesome that is.

GOOD NIGHT!

A thread… Image
Thank you to @rmneiss for letting us play with the “Official Statement”generator yesterday. His @realpresssecbot was one of the primary inspirations for this account, so this is kind of a perfect bookend.
I started @TrumpEmail because I couldn't believe the tenor of the vitriol and the brazenness of the lies when Trump emails unexpectedly started showing up in my inbox. I was surprised nobody else was already putting these into the public record and took it on as a pet project.

“Friend,

Today begins a new chapter in our Country.

While the Left promises to implement their Big Government Socialist Agenda, the Republican Party will need to come together and work even harder if we’re going to continue putting America FIRST.”
“The Democrats have control of the White House, the Senate, and the House, and our Party will be relying on you now more than ever.”

Subject: The Radical Media
Preheader: We need to hold them accountable.
“Friend,

The media needs to be held accountable.

They are working overtime to drive the Nation further apart by lying about Conservatives. They want America to be divided so much that they stoop so low as to spread false narratives.”
“YOU are one of our BEST supporters, and we really want to know what you think about the radical media. We need you to take our Official Mainstream Media Accountability Survey.

With your help, we’ll hold the media accountable for their attempts to DIVIDE the Nation.”
