When Obama was POTUS, we didn't have to check a source to know if something was satire or not.

Just saying. So many times I have read a post and had to look at the article source to know if it was satire, and I very often read posts from others saying that. If it's Borowitz or The Onion, then we know it's satire. But when Obama was president, you knew almost immediately without checking the source if it was or not. (Fox news excepted.)

But not stuff he had done or said. Usually stuff his detractors said or did. As in “They can’t really be this stupid, can they?!?”

But yeah, now we have a whole administration I have to ask myself that daily. They’re Internet trolls with actual power, and it’s horrifying.
