(TA news, Seattle WA, 3/2/2019) The Ave is proud to announce the inauguration of the Trumpy. The award will be given to the individual, American or foreign, who best exemplifies the heritage and achievements of Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of the United States.
The award has been jointly funded by an endowment given by novelist MacKenzie Tuttle and entrepreneur Jeff Bezos in honor of their upcoming divorce.
In addition to a medal, recipients will receive an abstract sculpture dedicated to Mr. Trump. There will be no cash award because the Mr. Bezos feels strongly that the Trump award should not be taxable. The awards will, however, include a one year membership in Amazon Prime as well as a subscription to the Washington Post.
Nominations for the Trumpy may be made by submission as comments to this add or as classified ads in the Washington Post. Up to 5 awards will be made each year at a ceremony hosted by Mr. Bezos and Ms. Tuttle in front of the Amazon spheres in Seattle. The first awards will be on tax day, April 15, 2020.
