Donald Trump says he has “a zero tolerance policy for violence aimed at law enforcement officers trying to do their jobs” unless it is to overthrow a democratically-elected Government after an election he lost.

Because too many people in this community seem to be under the impression that satire requires a fictional premise… It does not, and never has.

    Where’s the satire? This is just rephrasing what he has actually done. Is rephrasing factual statements satire now? Or have these satire sites given up and just resorted to real reporting?
