Donald Trump announces list of foods to be banned in his next term in office

PALM BEACH, FLA (Spurious News Network) -- Former President Donald Trump, convicted felon and the current Republican candidate for president, recently announced his plan to lower grocery prices by restricting the importation of foodstuffs. Today, he doubled down on this threat by listing several food items he will specifically ban.

"No real American should ever eat these foods, and after I win in November they won't be allowed to," Mr. Trump stated in an address from his compound in this seaside city.

The foods Mr. Trump will ban if he is reelected are English muffins, French toast, Swiss cheese, Canadian bacon, Danish pastries, Caesar salad, German and Polish sausages, Swedish meatballs, and tacos.

In response, President Joe Biden called the local hospital for the criminally insane while munching on a Canadian bacon-and-swiss sandwich on an English muffin, only to be told there's nothing they could do to help as "he's always been this way."

I'm the guilty party in these. Anything that goes out under "Spurious News Network" was written by me.

Probably if I want to search through all the results I could find the site, but I don't.

Thanks anyway. The responsibility remains with the op writer.

I do recognize the name 'Spurious News Network' but don't find the link to the site either, at the moment.

Okra should be cut into pieces, breaded, and fried.

It's just like making a baked potato, but you have to bake beets longer to attempt to soften them up because a fresh beet is nearly as hard as mild steel.

Notice that except for tacos, every one of the foods I said Trump would ban has the name of a country in its name. Trump is so fucking stupid he'd actually believe English muffins are imported from England and French toast from France.
