OK, I’m confused. I thought then whole Trump campaign was an Onion meme. This article seems to suggest it’s for real. That can’t possibly be true, can it?

I don’t think he’ll attack The Onion. He’ll probably promote it as a true explanation of his feelings.

It’s a great article, but not really satire. What the Onion has written is all too believable coming from the mouth of one Donald Trump.

It’s not as though Reagan hasn’t earned it.

Hard to find any space there for satire, isn’t it?

Leave it to the Onion to have a spot on spoof of the Donald.
“The thing is, I’ve got all of you eating out of my hand and I haven’t even released a single campaign commercial yet," That is exactly right, the mainstream media struggles everyday to stay away from relevant and crucial to American life. They are terrified to investigate and publish anything authentic, original or that hasn’t been vetted by Fox News or the other media sites. I have stopped believing in journalism and objective media.

One of the best and most prescient Onion pieces of all time was this from 2001.

Hey, I like the guy, right? But its not like he was as tough on Gorbachev as I am on Putin. Nobody’s as tough on Ruskies as me! Just ask anybody, they’ll tell you!
Something like that right?

Hysterical! I could decide which was more perfect:
I said to my vice president the other day, “Oprah, do you think I can be president of Iran and America at the same time?” Because I honestly think I could get elected here.

I’ve got a major golf tournament starting in a few hours. So if you want to make a deal, call my assistant and she’ll fax over a treaty. Secretary of State Hannity will handle the details.
It was even more The Donald than The Onion.

In '67 I had just returned from Vietnam after completing 2nd tour and was home on leave before taking my next assignment. The local TV stations would have ABC national news on 1/2 hour before the CBS station had their version of national news. It was very interesting to watch both. Many, many times the screaming lead on one was not even mentioned on the other. Especially when it came to news about the war. I totally walked away from broadcast news when one Friday, Cronkite ended the newscast a flaming hawk only to listen to him on the following Monday do a 180. Everyone tells me that he is the “grand old man” of broadcasters and we are supposed to listen too him, not for me and since that day for me he has been a fake.

You really have nailed The Donald response to media criticism: they’re losing money, they’re failing, no one reads them, with side trips into my hotels are bigger. Well done.
