Man struggling to determine whether Trump headline is satire or real life

A man sitting at his laptop is currently struggling to decide if a batshit crazy headline about Donald Trump is satire or in fact real life.

After staring at the same headline for the last five hours, local man Simon Williams admitted he was no closer to deciphering whether the article was a real story about Trump or a satirical takedown of the US president. 

“It genuinely could go either way,” Williams told us. “I mean, did he actually make Andrew Tate Secretary of Women’s Affairs or not? It sounds plausible, right?

“Okay, this one about him calling Zelensky a dictator is definitely a piss-take. Shit, that one’s real? My head is absolutely spinning right now. It’s like I’m on some fucked up version of ‘Would I Lie to You?’ 

“This is absolutely impossible. I’ve just read the headline ‘Donald Trump pays hush money to porn star’ on both The Guardian and The Onion websites. So, which one is it? Is it real or a joke? 

“God, I wish politics was boring again. I miss the good old days when the big news was John Prescott punching someone in Rhyl. What I’d give to see Angela Rayner punch a member of the public, just for a bit of respite.”
