      I wish our journalists did ANY amount of push-back because calling it satire is just a red herring and I wish they wouldn’t even engage with it.

      OK, let’s assume it is satire used to make a point. What point exactly was he making? That he IS a king and is shitting on us all?

      Yeah that’s not what satire means. And it isn’t funny either; but I know that half the pop doesn’t know any other type of “humor”. Literally shitting on other people, hahahaha
