Campaigners confirm Trump tweet contesting Beard of the Year result was fake
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that a tweet purporting to come from Donald Trump which queried the result of the 2020 Beard of the Year was fake.
Beard of the Year 2020 was shared between Michael Rosen and Michael Sheen. While Sheen won the popular vote the BLF Electoral College judged that the Award should be shared with Rosen whose beard had shown resilience and consistency throughout 2020:
Vintage Year for Beards as Michael Rosen & Michael Sheen named Beards of the Year 2020
The tweet apparently from @realDonaldJTrump read:
I won 46.8% of the popular vote and THEY SAY I LOST. Yet Mickey Rosen gets 34.7% of his popular vote and THEY SAY HE DREW. More proof that I won the election BIGLY #fakebeard
The tweet was sent at 23.21 on 27th December
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, our suspicions were aroused as it seemed unlikely that Donald Trump had ever heard of the Beard of the Year poll and also because the tweet appeared to be far too coherent for him. We are satisfied that it was the work of a mischief maker.
