Nah, this is OP's AI slop rag. Don't compare it to the writers of the onion
It is rather difficult to write about political satire these days. Perhaps there is an audience for fictional news where everything is basically a utopia. Headlines like “Fossil fuel end complete, planet in remission” or “Universal healthcare announced in USA, basic income next week” or “Successful purge of billionaires creates peace on earth overnight”
That's even more depressing
“He kept pointing into the toilet,” said one source. “He was extremely proud of the color. He kept saying, ‘Look at that. That’s presidential blue. That’s what success looks like.’”
🤣😂🤣
Articles like this are insidious, because you can never be certain. Not absolutely
Why is trump telling them how to do their job? Surely it's someone's job to know how to do this kind of thing.

Chomp chomp
I am NOT about to inject bleach into my veins. However, I might stick a light bulb up my ass..
Keep it green and memorialize it as Trump Swamp.
We should sample the algae bloom in that pool and look for intelligent life.
Don't eat the onion. It may after all come to this.
He already beat me. “Vandalism”
Good to know America is in such great shape that the CEO has time for things like making a pool more blue, when he's not watching himself on television.
damn. they beat me to it. i was gonna make a gif of the toilets at the office flushing green to blue.
It’s funny how this chuckles guy is so pissed after starting shit and getting their name in a bunch of articles on that site.
An extremely dumb down metaphor of all the FAFO Trump shit and im glad it's making waves.
