President Donald Trump’s inauguration cake continues to make headlines. First, it was revealed that Team Trump ordered a Washington, DC bakery to produce an exact replica of President Barack Obama’s 2013 cake, which was originally created by celebrity baker Duff Goldman. Now, Trevor Noah and the folks at The Daily Show say they’ve somehow gained possession of Trump’s cake.
Noah says his team received a mysterious phone call regarding the cake, and it showed up at The Daily Show’s studio the next day. And now that Noah has this cake, he wants Daily Show viewers to decide what he should do with it. People across the internet are casting their votes via the Twitter hashtag #TrumpCake.
Send it to Kellyanne Conway and tell her it's an alternative dessert.#TrumpCake @TheDailyShow

How about we send #TrumpCake on a tour of all of our National Parks, so it can see what we're about to lose? @Trevornoah @TheDailyShow

Make an even bigger replica, say it was Obamas and proceed to compare how much smaller Trumps cake is. #TrumpCake

And, of course, there is now a @realTrumpCake Twitter account that has already accrued nearly 4,000 followers. While most parody accounts that emerge out of current events are terrible, this mashup of Trump speak and confectionary terminology is fairly entertaining.
Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 cans of frosting that are missing. #TrumpCake #CAGA

An 'extremely credible source' has called my office and told me that Little Debbie's birth certificate is a fraud! #TrumpCake #CAGA

The failing Food Network's coverage of my tasting was totally dishonest. Sad! #CakeAmericaGreatAgain #TrumpCake

Whatever happens to the cake, Trump himself will no doubt dismiss it as fake news.
