Mike Bloomberg's campaign trolled President Donald Trump on Twitter during Sunday night's Oscar telecast with series of awards of their own: The Donalds.

All 11 "Donalds" were "awarded' to Trump himself and were clearly intended as piques at the Republican president.

Among them:

"The award for MOST LIES TOLD IN ONE SPEECH goes to… Donald J. Trump for his one hour post-acquittal East Room speech."

"The award for OUTSTANDING HYPOCRISY goes to… Donald J. Trump, that guy who is always condemning people for disrespecting the national anthem." The tweet was accompanied by a video of Trump appearing to wave his arms and point while the national anthem was playing.

"The award for OUTSTANDING DISPLAY OF PETTINESS" went to Trump for having Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman escorted out of the White House "for the crime of having told the truth," according to Team Bloomberg.

Other "awards made fun of Trump for tweeting that the Kansas City Chiefs played in Kansas, rather than Missouri, his attempt to buy Greenland and "outstanding commitment to never learning from a mistake."

"The award for BEST PLAN TO KEEP US SAFE FROM THE KLINGONS" was given to Trump for his creation of Space Force.

The award for "BEST FICTIONAL WALL" appeared to mock Trump's promise to build 450 miles of border wall between the United States and Mexico by the end of this year.

That tweet included a video of a section of the wall blowing over that went viral earlier this year.

Though the video was used by critics to lampoon the wall, Newsweek noted that U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesperson Ralph DeSio noted that only a "handful of panels" were affected.

"No property damage or injuries were sustained during this uncommon event while the concrete was drying and construction remains ongoing," DeSio said, and that "the border wall system is imperative to securing the border and is what border patrol agents have asked for and need to maintain operational control of the southern border."
