    The Onion is gonna go bankrupt at this rate. I just imagine the editors coming up with stories and headlines, only to crumple and toss them in the trash whenever Trump holds a press conference.

      The Dutch equivalent of The Onion actually send a cease and desist letter to one of our ministers, because they can’t compete with the shit she is saying (this woman gives Trump’s government a run for their money in terms of both evilness and incompetence)

      Iirc during his first period the Onion actually just wrote factual articles about Trump, stating that they could not make up content to compete with reality
