President Donald Trump set Twitter ablaze after announcing the #MAGACHALLENGE, a rap challenge encouraging his supporters to serenade him with supportive lyrics. Soon, the hashtag climbed to the top of Twitter's trending topics.

Trump promised that he'd announce the winners and arrange a meeting and performance with them at the White House. He didn't say when he'd announce or when the meeting would be.

Supporters dutifully donned their MAGA caps, singing songs of praise in a stunning display of American idolatry.

As you might imagine, the hashtag was ripe for trolling, and soon, Trump's critics were responding with challenges of their own.

Unfortunately for Trump's devotees, his track record indicates that the winners of this contest won't get to go to the White House. In fact, they likely won't even be announced. As Judd Legum of the Popular Information newsletter reported, there's no evidence of anyone winning the 15 contests Trump has held promising the winner a meal with the President.

Alex Jones Debuts New 'Hitler Mustache'—And Makes Bonkers Claim About Its Effect On Women

InfoWars host and noted conspiracy theorist Alex Jones had people facepalming after he sported a "Hitler mustache" on his program on Thursday and dubiously claimed that it's had a "wild" effect on women.

Jones said he decided to conduct a “social experiment” to see how the world has changed since Hitler killed himself eight decades ago because "Democrats and the colleges and the think tanks and the [Anti-Defamation League]" claim that "white men are Hitler." He also complained about the word "Nazi," saying “a lot of people are sick of” it being used as a pejorative.

Cruz Ripped After Claiming Kamala Harris Is 'Bigoted' For Not Picking Pete Buttigieg As Her Running Mate

Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz was called out after he claimed former Vice President Kamala Harris is "bigoted" after she revealed in her new memoir 107 Days that former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg would've been her first choice for running mate in last year's election if it wasn't for the fact that he's gay.

Harris, who ultimately selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate, wrote that she felt it would be "too big of a risk" for a Black woman to run for president with a gay man at her side. She described Buttigieg as "an ideal partner—if I were a straight white man" and said she and her team concluded that "knowing what was at stake, it was too big of a risk."
