While Donald Trump made a game of the Republican primaries, and ultimately took home the gold medal in that race, the denizens of Twitter lampooned the GOP nominee with #TrumpOlympics.
In the spirit of the upcoming Games in Rio de Janeiro, #TrumpOlympics posits that the New York business tycoon can only compete in a sport if he’s guaranteed to win.
“It’s time for the #TrumpOlympics! Where no matter who wins or loses, everyone definitely 100% loses!” tweeted Huffington Post Comedy, who moderated the social media game.
The hashtag generated tens of thousands of tweets skewering the former reality television star with Olympic-themed puns and topical jokes.
The Independent gathered some of the more laughter-inducing (and cringeworthy) tweets below.
