WASHINGTON, DC—Donald Trump has announced that the Genesius Times will replace CNN as the official White House Fake News provider. Trump, in his characteristic style, stated, “Why settle for CNN’s fake news when you can get the real fake news from Genesius Times? They’ve got the satire, they’ve got the laughs, something CNN never managed to do because they were too busy being genuinely fake.”

At a press conference, held in what’s now called the “Satire Hall” of the White House, Trump, surrounded by memorabilia from his reality TV days, made the proclamation. “The Genesius Times gets it. They know how to make news fun again,” he said, with a wink that could mean anything from ‘I’m joking’ to ‘I’m deadly serious.’

The Genesius Times, famous for satirical pieces like “Biden Attempts to Time Travel Back to 2020 for Another Shot at Presidency” and “Trump Declares Himself Emperor of Mars,” was quick to accept the honor. “We’ve been preparing for this moment since our inception,” said Satyr McJest, the site’s editor-in-chief. “Our mission has always been to out-fake the fake news. Now, we’re officially part of the administration’s strategy.”

CNN, in a response laced with irony, noted, “We take this as the highest compliment. If being ousted by a satire site means we’ve set the bar too high for fake news, then we’re doing something right.”

The political world is in a state of bewildered amusement. Democrats are torn between laughter and concern, unsure how to respond to this new normal. Republicans, meanwhile, are split between those who see this as a brilliant move and those who are simply baffled about where to tune in for their daily dose of political reality.

Analysts are trying to wrap their heads around this development. “We’re possibly witnessing the dawn of a new era where satire isn’t just commentary but the main course of political discourse,” remarked Dr. Chuckle Witt, a noted expert on political humor.

The impact on journalism is a hot topic. “If satire becomes the benchmark for news, we might see a shift where the absurd becomes the norm, and everyone’s just trying to one-up each other in ridiculousness,” one journalism professor mused, barely concealing a grin.

The Genesius Times’ first article under this new regime was fittingly titled, “Trump Declares Satire the Official Language of the White House, Promises to Build Satire Wall Around Media Bias.”

Public reaction on social media varies from outright confusion to entertainment. Memes have proliferated, with one popular post reading, “I used to rely on news for information, now I rely on Genesius Times for my daily dose of reality check.”

Whether this audacious decision will redefine political satire or merely add another layer of surrealism to an already confusing information age, only time will tell. In Trump’s 2025 White House, expect the unexpected, embrace the satire, and maybe, just maybe, find humor in the chaos.
