  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

It's so much, I can only imagine. Was in DC recently and you can see his name just boldly prepended to stuff that looks way older lol, sticks out like exactly the absurdist, garish, self-evidently temporary sore thumb that it is.

I haven't gotten the sense any of his kids have anything like the weird Trump charisma the fucker does have, so even if the country doesn't magically get better when he's gone, it's just hard to see anyone taking seriously the idea that any of the renamings and such will last even 10 years.

Exception for if he gets (foolishly) martyred and they can turn his name into some weird gross symbol for a longer term hatefest.
