"The coverage was no more than a politically motivated farce which attempted to spin a false narrative that my campaign supposedly colluded with Russia despite a complete lack of evidence," Trump said.
In 2018, the Pulitzer Prize committee awarded the Washington Post and New York Times awards in journalism for their reporting on the now-proven false claim that there was a link between the Trump campaign and Putin's Kremlin.
Trump called for the revocation of that award during his time in office, saying then via Twitter that it was "So funny that The New York Times & The Washington Post got a Pulitzer Prize for their coverage (100% NEGATIVE and FAKE!) of Collusion with Russia - And there was No Collusion! So, they were either duped or corrupt?In any event, their prizes should be taken away by the Committee!"
Now, in the wake of further reporting showing that the link was not there, and that there was no collusion, as well as the indictment of Michael Sussmann, a Clinton attorney, Trump has again called for the pulling of the prizes. The server that was at the center of the alleged probe was not one belonging to Trump or his organizations, but was "was administered by a mass marketing email company," Fox News reported. The Federalist's Mollie Hemingway, who was relentless in her efforts to show that the claims of Trump's Russia collusion were false, said that "The corrupt media's regurgitation of outlandish and unsubstantiated claims that Donald Trump was planning to steal or had stolen the 2016 election by colluding with Russia discredits the entire industry.

Pulitzer prize committee needs to rescind itself. It’s obvious as hell like most other awards it’s been commandeered by the left and the award is abused solely to give false credibility to push an agenda.
3c first class US postage stamp in 1947:
“Our Republic and its press will rise or fall together”
——Joseph Pulitzer
They should change the named to “The Pulitzer fake news prize”.
Is there a financial award that goes with the prize? I would imagine so. Rescind that as well.
Seems the Pulitzer Prize committee is as smart as the Nobel Prize Committee. They all blow other people’s money without thought.
Don’t waste your time and energy, Mr. Trump.
If that organization is as PC as you think it is, they will soon be on Twitter, bragging that they are ‘forcefully resisting’ your orders. Don’t give them the extra attention.
How about the Pulitzer Propaganda Prize?
The NYTs can change its motto to “We PPP on your head and tell you it’s raining.”

The press is walking on the backs of fallen Citizen heroes.
Pulitzer missed it by that much.
Good move for Trump. Be as relentless as the lying left!
The award was given FOR false reporting against Trump
Trump knows that.
He certainly should!
I like it! Perfect!
He is, of course, entirely correct.
Donald Trump is the only wholly honest person.
:) Thanks!
