The Onion can't compete with this release (G7 Summit)

gas·light
/ˈɡaslīt/
verb
gerund or present participle: gaslighting
manipulate (someone) by psychological means into questioning their own sanity.


The Trump organization was caught completely off guard by being chosen to host the summit:


The Trump Organization did not respond to questions about Doral’s finances. Instead, it issued a statement saying that it is “excited to have been asked to host” the summit and “honored by this recognition.”

This is like Ivanka winning the crown at Trump's Miss America pageant and reacting with utter shock.
