In 2016, before Trump secured the GOP nomination, the Boston Globe made a fictional dystopian front page of what a nightmare world it would be if Trump won. And those just pretty much are our actual headlines now.

A fake Boston Globe front page for April 2017. Headlines include, “deportations to begin: President Trump calls for tripling of ice force, riots continue,” “US soldiers refuse orders to kill Isis families,” “ market sink as trade wars loom,” “ new libel law targets ‘absolute scum’ in press” “ Trump on Nobel Prize shortlist,”

The most inaccurate part is that Trump would ever have a dog.

Though getting a dog specifically to insult a woman who won't fuck him is the most likely reason he would get one

They should have made one with less “scary apocalypse” and more “pedo clown goon squad” headlines. Trump doesn’t mind being called a tyrant, but he hates being mocked.
