LITTLE ROCK AR: President Donald Trump issued an executive order today demanding that Chuck's Deli rename their signature "Obama Melt" to the "Stand During The Anthem Burger."
The sandwich was named after President Obama during a 2015 fundraising stop in the town. It is essentially a traditional patty melt with the addition of Dijon mustard, favored by the former Commander In Chief.
During a press briefing at the White House, Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders deflected assertions that this latest executive order is simply one more step in Trump's long-term goal to completely dismantle the legacy and accomplishments of President Obama. "We have brave men and women who fight and die for our country, while shameless football players refuse to stand during the performance of our National Anthem. In signing this order, President Trump simply asserted his bold and patriotic leadership to assure that no child in Little Rock will cry himself to sleep at night because he turned on the TV and saw NFL players kneeling instead of proudly standing, weeping openly, and singing along."
The restaurant also offers the "Michelle Smoothie," in recognition of the First Lady's efforts to instill healthy eating habits in our children. Per the same executive order, it will now be known as "The Melania Shake." Mini-Hot Dogs on the children's menu, "Beau Bites"...named after the President's pooch...will now be known as "Tiny Little Hot Dog Fingers."
Developing story...

But I agree, reality has become so screwed up that its hard to tell satire from truth!

(7,529 posts)for the Russian sanction bill he let slide. I could be wrong.
But yeah any other time he's like "I'm signing my pointy name...to this bill...that approves our new White House three-hole binders...for the good the American people!" (hands pen over shoulder, proudly shows his giant-ass signature to the cameras (look I did something!), golf clapping)

(779 posts)But I often wonder when he makes these photo ops showing off his signature (unreadable of course), is he able to write?
It seems like his signature is all he can manage, and is very proud of that. Has anyone seen a handwritten document, fully
accomplished by him?

That means I wrote it, and it's satire.
That's just a quirk of mine. I don't like flagging my satire posts as "satire" or "parody." That's a buzzkill, ya know?
