Fakest scandal.

Not sure if this should be broken out into "fakest scandal (trump)" and "fakest scandal (hillary)" but one category should suffice.

Should we split the Meltdown category into "pre-8th" and "post-8th"? Because there were pre-election meltdowns, and there's bound to be some even more glorious ones after.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.
