I'm not sure if this is fake or not
This. People have been using the phrase "post-satire world" for nearly a decade now, and it's completely true.
On the one hand, this is an utterly ridiculous thing for the President of the United States to announce.
On the other hand, I'm 90% convinced that it is true.
We're also in the post-truth world, so it kinda doesn't matter if it's true or not...

Reuters is more of a satire site than The Onion these days.
If that were a headline, it would've been better than what The Onion churns out thesedays. Reality really did a number on them.
Onion just needs to write in an AU where Trump is a bipartisan republican making boring Cabinet picks. It would be a hoot. Followed by sadness.
