Wondering what to make of that proposed Trump budget that cuts arts funding,gay erotice dads friends hampers climate change research and destroys Wheels on Meals funding in favor of rockets and war?
Well, it'll be great news for America. The White House said so, in an email sent out Friday morning and posted on its website. It's proof? A link to a Washington Postarticle vigorously defending the budget.
The only problem: the piece, titled "Trump’s budget makes perfect sense and will fix America, and I will tell you why," was a merciless and frankly blindingly obvious satire.
SEE ALSO: The feud between Britain and Sean Spicer is getting ridiculousThe editorial,which promised schoolchildren will be taught by an F-35 wearing a MAGA hat and insisted "all fetuses will burst out of wombs brandishing an Uzi," was the work of Alexandra Petri, a celebrated comic writer.
Laying out its satirical cause for the controversial budget, the article also argued the U.S. should "let women, infants and children fight for their meat or have none." And my favorite: "Clean rivers and breathable air are making us SOFT and letting the Chinese and the Russians get the jump on us."
While Trump isn't afraid to root around in the murky depths of the internet to make his point, even linking to the "failing" New York Timesthis morning, this is pretty spectacularly stupid. We'll just chalk it down to an intern reading no further than the headline. Right?
Petri was, at first, delighted.
