No, the Boston Globe is not running 'fake' Trump news on its Sunday front page

[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Rather, an insert made to look like a Globe front page from the year 2017, after Trump's theoretical election, is slated to run Sunday on page one of the newspaper's "Ideas" section.

The satirical insert will feature a series of imaginary Trump-related headlines, including "Deportations to Begin: President Trump calls for tripling of ICE force; riots continue," "Curfews extended in multiple cities," "Markets sink as trade war looms," "US soldiers refuse orders to kill ISIS families" and "New libel law targets 'absolute scum' in press."

The "front page" will also feature a story that refers to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie as Attorney General, and a report about Trump naming his dog after China's first lady.

The insert includes an editor's note that reads, "This is Donald Trump's America. What you read on this page is what might happen if the GOP frontrunner can put his ideas into practice, his words into action."

"Many Americans might find this vision appealing, but the Globe's editorial board finds it deeply troubling," it added.

The Globe's "Ideas" editor explained Saturday that they're merely trying to start a conversation about what a Trump presidency would look like.

Boy howdy, imagine trying to start a conversation about what a Hilarity presidency would look like by doing something like this...

#1 These people live in their own little world. No interest in changing their minds as they are the best and the brightest. I have never known people to be so closed minded. Its like a mental illness. They also run in packs. The new mental Zombies. I like to poke them now and then. They hiss and sputter for awhile. Then spew 1% are all at fault.

#5 The funny thing is the deportations begin headline should have had Obama's picture on it. Reminds me of when Nixon started the Vietnam war.
