The following assembly of information includes videos that may induce severe cringe. Don't say we didn't warn you.

On Friday, President Donald Trump took to Twitter to promote the nearly two-month-old #MAGAChallenge, in which amateur rappers share their best pro-Trump bars on social media. And, yes, they're just as rough as you'd imagine.

The situation gets worse. POTUS was apparently so moved by the challenge desirous to feed his unending need for attention and distraction, he decided to reward some of the participants with an invitation to perform at the White House. 

I will be announcing the winners of the #MAGACHALLENGE and inviting them to the @WhiteHouse to meet with me and perform. Good luck! https://t.co/3PYzOvYz17

Who's responsible for the #MAGAChallenge? According to the Daily Dot, this all started in September, when Bryson Gray dropped a verse for his "MAGA Boy"—a song that addresses identity politics and backlash experienced by black Trump supporters.

"I think the MAGA challenge is doing what everybody expected Kanye West to do for the [Trump] campaign," Gray told the Daily Dot, before insisting that "not all Trump voters and GOP are stick ups."

I saw this #MAGAChallenge thing on twitter and didn't realize it was a "who can kiss Trump's ass the best according to Trump" video contest. I thought the challenge was just surviving this dumpster fire of a presidency. #TheMoreYouKnow https://t.co/DTReKavCe0

#MAGAChallenge sounds like a competition to see if you can survive Thanksgiving dinner with your parents. Performance-enhancing drugs encouraged.

Naturally, the challenge was also met with a decent amount of roasting:

The biggest challenge for MAGA is learning the difference between “your” and “you’re”. #MAGACHALLENGE
