      Seeing The Onion doesn’t really make me feel better anymore. This isn’t satire, it’s subtext.

      Except he actually said he would run for a third term, and that he wasn’t even joking about it.

    I always felt the Onion should have pivoted to actual news after the world jumped the shark. Seeing posts from them these days is just depressing…

        I don’t know…I’m not defending trump in any way, but I’d certainly say literal adolph hitler is worse than trump. Now, that may change in time. We’ll see, but for now…

          He’s not as bad (yet, at least). But Hitler didn’t have access to a gigantic nuclear arsenal, so Trump has the potential to do way more damage

            Yeah…that’s why I said time will tell. The tone feels like you’re argueing me, but the words are just a summary of what I said.

    This isn’t funny, it’s way too real to be funny… You need to say outlandish things he would never say, not something he’s probably going to say tomorrow.

    Begging The Onion to stop. Someone might read this to Trump and he’ll think it’s his idea (the best idea!) and run with it.
