I must say a small part of me is beginning to loathe the 50-50 on whether some of the US-related headlines are real or not

I also had to do a double take on the "news" source. Any Onion completely bat-shit insane creations now sound plausible when "Trump" is in the title.

ehehe this headline is funny tho... In a European perspective this headline is the most onion like in a couple of months 🤣 sorry American friends...

Those five seconds it took me to see that’s the onion weren’t as wild as you might expect. It felt like a normal statement.

Took me until your comment, what a world

This is unironically exactly what Israel insisted on in their ceasefire agreements. Makes this even more onion worthy.

Holy shit, I'm batting like a .500 for not eating the onion. Which would be good in baseball. But it's pretty bad odds for me in this case.

Yeah, I totally ate the onion on this headline lol, it's basically just saying the quiet part out loud, which he does all the time.

They had to scrap the story of Trump believing the tattoo labels to be actual tattoos.

Okay, here's a fun game: How many Onion headlines came true shortly thereafter? Other than "No way to prevent this"

He’s awaiting his Nobel peace prize.
