UPDATE: A chilly January morning in downtown Washington D.C. was made warmer when copies of a fantasy Washington Post hit the street, carrying the banner headline “UNPRESIDENTED.”
Underneath was printed: “Trump Hastily Departs White House, Ending Crisis.”
Actual Washington Post, owned by billionaire Jeff Bezos, has reacted:
MoveOn.org denied suggestions it was behind the stunt, a report that had gained traction due to this tweet:
Among Fantasy WaPo’s more amusing features, Actual WaPo’s pretentious “Democracy Dies In Darkness” slogan is replaced with “Democracy Awakens in Action,” the publication date is May 1 – and all of the articles on the front page of the print edition, and its accompanying web site, are written by women.
In Fantasy WaPo World, Trump has abandoned the White House, on May 1, barely six months after the midterm elections, issuing no formal statement, though White House aides who spoke on condition of anonymity, claimed to have found a napkin on the president’s desk in the Oval Office the previous night, on which was scrawled: “Blame Crooked Hillary & Hfior & the Fake News Media.”
Another front-page article collected reports of impromptu street parties popping up in major cities and small towns all around the world, as people realized Trump had fled.
In yet another article, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders had held THREE press briefings in one day.
In still another, a photo of NYT editor in chief Dean Baquet accompanies a headline: “Major news outlets on Trump’s rise to power: ‘Our bad’”
In yet another front-page article, Fake WaPo slaps itself on the back for “eerily predicting real events.”
In its Marketwatch feature, everything is up — a lot.
More to come…
“Fake Washington Post Newspaper” is a bit redundant….
Who would pay for such scandalous actions ? Who does it benefit?
It’s got to be a prank being pulled by The Onion.
Bravo.

If only it were true. Then the New York AG could arrest him and his kids.
One time we wish Fake News was real.
God… please make this REAL soon
It’s about as accurate as the WaPo usually is. ;-)
I WISH it was real! Trump will not take this hint any more than the others he gets from Americans – even some in his own party (which is MY party but maybe not for much longer. I didn’t vote for him and not too happy w/GOP. ) It was a nice day dream … .but now it’s back to the horrible reality show being produced in the White House! I hear it has a high “PINOCCHIO rating. I am anxiously awaiting MUELLER’s “True Reality” show. I hope it is award-winning! I picture a grand ceremony where lots of charges, convictions, fines, jail time — and maybe even an impeachment or revocation of citizenship – handed out to deserving people. Trump should get a “Despicable Demagogue” award. (Look it up Donnie—- the definition should show a picture of you so can find it more easily. )
The left is continuing to show their true colors. Disrespectful, arrogant, sore losers. Look, the left is embracing socialism! Do any working people in our industry even understand what THAT means? Single thought has never been a friend to the arts. Quit crying and hoping for the President to be impeached just because you buy into the whole pile of shit that leftists can’t stop making up. Proof. Stop crying and look to proof. Not proof that his attorney is a liar. Not proof that he hired crooked Washington airbags. Proof. Until then, he’s YOUR President and HE is not going anywhere. Grow the fuck up.
Why don’t you sign in with your real name?
Your first and second sentence are more accurate about the right. They wouldn’t accept the 2002 Governor’s race results in California, so they promoted the Recall. When Scalia died, McConnell BS’d about not filling the seat during an election year, 10 months out, then went ahead and filled Kennedy’s seat during an election year–three months out. Etc etc etc. Everything the right has been saying about the left is actually a case of project. As to your “embracing socialism” comment, yeah, maybe, but do either you or some of the “socialist” Democrats really know what it means? Too many conservatives think that affordable health care or helping a neighbor is “socialism.”
Great headline though, bravo
“Pence begins clipped duck term” – LOL
Too bad it’s not true!
If only it was true. Christmas would come early.
How STUPID do you think the American People are? Or is it just Republicans?
This is all fake
