UK Magazine Expertly Trolls Donald Trump With Front Page 'Apology' For The Ages

[William769]

Private Eye, the British satirical magazine, dedicated its latest cover to saying sorry to President Donald Trump in the most blisteringly sarcastic way.

The publication’s front page was headlined, “Donald Trump: An Apology.”

The text read:

“In common with all other media organisations, we may in the past have given the impression that we thought Mr Trump was a sleazy, deranged, orange-faced man-baby who was a threat to democracy and who should be in jail rather than the White House. We now realise, in the light of his return to to supreme power, that he is in fact a political colossus, the voice of sanity, a champion of liberty, a model of probity and the saviour of the Western world. He is also slim, handsome and young.”

It continued:

“We would like to apologize unreservedly for any confusion caused by our previous statements and thank President Trump for his kind invitation to give him 94 million pounds to attend his inauguration event.”

The small print at the bottom of the page read, “This statement has not been fact-checked.”

6. We underestimate the power of humor

The orange shitgibbon despises being laughed at.

[William769]

9. Thats makes it sweet.

[William Seger]

12. Correct

I've been calling DonOld an obnoxiously self-obsessed malignant narcissist, pathological liar, racist bigot, misogynist, insurrectionist, fascist demagogue, twice impeached, four times indicted convicted felon and unregistered sex offender with a well-documented history of lying and cheating his way through every aspect of his life.

Not only is their description much funnier, but the Burger King would likely take mine as a compliment.

Out of order, but that's about it for dimdonnie dipshit.

13. Damn, I miss Spy magazine.

They used to be all over him when he was just a failed NY real estate developer, and referred to him as the "short-fingered vulgarian". They used to do what they called "Spy Pranks", one of which was to send out a check for less than $1 to celebrities to see who would cash them.

Of course he did.

[William769]

15. Thanks for that.

[calimary]

18. Oh MAN! "Spy" magazine!

I LOVED LOVED LOVED “Spy” magazine!

Found it in the local pharmacy magazine rack one day and fell in love. Gone too soon.

WAY too soon.

[Grokenstein]

16. Shades of "Politicians: An Apology" from Monty Python's Flying Circus

Still relevant after all these years.

[William769]

21. Private Eye's "apologies" for the media doing a 180 degree turn on a subject are a regular in the magazine

though they're rarely on the cover.
