Saying the plight of white South African farmers affected him on a deeply personal level, President Donald Trump issued a statement Thursday in which he shared his own experiences as a victim of white genocide. “I’ve kept quiet about my past out of a fear that I could still be persecuted, but I too know what it’s like to live under a Black president who wants to see your entire race destroyed,” said Trump, adding that he had narrowly survived the attempt to eradicate white people and their culture by hiding for months in his 126-room Palm Beach resort.

Yeah, they were probably skipping around trying to find the exact moment catastrophic economic collapse happened in the U.S. and accidentally forgot where they were on the timeline before they posted the article, makes sense and maybe they had a school report due tomorrow they were rushing to bullshit and get done about the stunning rise of fascism in the 2030s and how it sent the world careening into war? (everybody knows that story already, it has been told a million times why is the teacher making us do this?).

President Trump also announced that construction would begin on a White Genocide Museum in Washington, D.C. once several museums commemorating the history of less important races had been razed to provide the space.

Yet again an onion article killing it with the last sentence.

"But you know the white genocide in South Africa, so sad by the way, it's nothing compared to what traitor Barack HUSSEIN Obama did to our country. He was the worst president just awful. But our white genocide was 20 times worse than what the South Africans are experiencing, so much worse. Truly a huge genocide here thanks to what the evil and demonic traitor Barack did. You know some people would say it's the worst genocide in history, that's true you can look that up."

I love how he emphasizes WHITE genocide, you know, the important type, not those typical ones where brown people die, these are white people so it’s serious!
