Nah, this is OP's AI slop rag. Don't compare it to the writers of the onion

It is rather difficult to write about political satire these days. Perhaps there is an audience for fictional news where everything is basically a utopia. Headlines like “Fossil fuel end complete, planet in remission” or “Universal healthcare announced in USA, basic income next week” or “Successful purge of billionaires creates peace on earth overnight”

Why is trump telling them how to do their job? Surely it's someone's job to know how to do this kind of thing.

When your ego is that big, under no circumstances are you allowed to lose. Inject bleach in your veins if you must.

I am NOT about to inject bleach into my veins. However, I might stick a light bulb up my ass..

Keep it green and memorialize it as Trump Swamp.

We should sample the algae bloom in that pool and look for intelligent life.

It’s funny how this chuckles guy is so pissed after starting shit and getting their name in a bunch of articles on that site.

You should still do it. This is AI slop, so nothing of value here.

An extremely dumb down metaphor of all the FAFO Trump shit and im glad it's making waves.

Good to know America is in such great shape that the CEO has time for things like making a pool more blue, when he's not watching himself on television.
