The most rational and well-balanced US president ever, Donaald Trump, is making exciting plans to start nuclear war with Russia to prevent the release of the Epstein files.

    Can you bite the onion if the news are, not only plausible, but reasonable?

      Just a little bite, as a treat.

      But yeah legitimately I don’t see anything in that headline I don’t believe is true.

      I guess “courageously”

        “courageously” - that’s The Onion’s way of giving readers a hint it might be satire.

          Except, have you read anything the “news” has put out about the guy? They kiss his taint regularly and only touch him with kid gloves. Just saying…

      I mean it’s not just plausible it’s literally true https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/01/us/politics/trump-nuclear-submarines-russia.html?referringSource=articleShare

    “Trump-Epstein files”

    I hope the media catches onto this phrase.

        These people don’t seem to realize biden was president for 4 years and could have done something about it for every one of those four years but didn’t, for a reason

    This, but for real.

    What but nuclear will the war be in 2027?

    https://feddit.org/post/16373509

    All the Trump shenanigans are a distraction from the preparations.

    Why is this filed under ‘theonion’? Does anyone actually think he wouldn’t start a nuclear war to avoid embarasment, let alone what would happen to him if anything damning came out in those files? I sippose the only unbelivable bit is that he is planning anything, rather than being told what to think.

      It’s satire, which always has some element of truth to it in order to be effective comedy.

      No, it’s entirely biteable and in fact quite possible. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/01/us/politics/trump-nuclear-submarines-russia.html?referringSource=articleShare
