I read a story the other day about Trump declaring that somebody was a gang member because they had a “PG-13” tattoo. And I honestly can’t remember if this was a joke or something Trump really said. ---

I guess even The Onion can’t top this reality. I liked this comment. > “Honestly, his long-term memory is in better shape than I thought.” > > **Erik Wetmore, Trophy Engraver** I agree completely. ---

This sounds like an interesting concept inverted from my thread. I approve! 😉 How about this one: > **[Trump: ‘I’m Not In These Nonexistent Files Concocted To Destroy Me’](https://theonion.com/trump-im-not-in-these-nonexistent-files-concocted-to-destroy-me/)** > > Est. reading time: 1 minute Three conflicting lies in a single sentence seems like nonsense he could quite believably pull off. ETA: didn’t mean to reply directly to @Velocity-- oops. I originally was going to make a comment on Velocity’s post, but then decided to make a post to the general thread and didn’t cancel and re-reply. ---

This one from January could have passed for the real thing: > **[Trump Claims God Spared Him In Airplane Crash](https://theonion.com/trump-claims-god-spared-him-in-airplane-crash/)** > > WASHINGTON—Saying it was only by divine intervention that he was still standing, President Donald Trump stated during a press briefing Thursday that God had spared his life during last night’s midair collision of an Army helicopter and a passenger... ---

I saw a link to this Onion video in my YouTube feed and thought it was real for a second, until I realized the source: > **[U.S. Military Bans Men With Girl Names From Combat](https://theonion.com/u-s-military-bans-men-with-girl-names-from-combat/)** > > WASHINGTON—In a move that significantly restricts the eligibility of thousands of American troops to fight for their country on the front lines, senior U.S. military officials announced Wednesday that all men with girl names would now be forbidden... Another one that could easily be real. trump has said plenty of things as stupid and de facto incriminating as this: > **[Trump: ‘We Could Argue All Day About Who Is Or Isn’t A Child Rapist’](https://theonion.com/trump-we-could-argue-all-day-about-who-is-or-isnt-a-child-rapist/)** > > Est. reading time: 1 minute ---

Those are good. Here’s another one. Is this real or satire? > **[Trump Gives Russia 10-Day Deadline To End Ukraine](https://theonion.com/trump-gives-russia-10-day-deadline-to-end-ukraine/)** > > EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND—Shortening the 50-day deadline he had previously given Vladimir Putin to put a stop to the war-torn country, President Donald Trump told reporters Monday he was now giving the Russian leader just “10 or 12 days” to end Ukraine... The magic 8-ball says, “Reply hazy, ask again later.” ---

> [@Tatterdemalion](#): > > Here’s another one. Is this real or satire? That is good, because headlines in link previews often get clipped, and that could be read as an unfortunate clipping spot in a real headline: “…To End Ukraine _ **War** _”.
