🏆 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. 🏆

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 🏆

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 🏆

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!
