ITREALMS: Donald Trump may switch-off the Internet

[Schaefer, Brett]

That wasn’t what I meant. I meant that I am assuming that the comments are not genuine – that they are made up. The U.S. has a satirical publication called the Onion that publishes “articles” that contain made up quotes or cover made up events. I was wondering if this is a similar publication.

Regardless, I don’t believe they are accurate quotes. If he really said this, the US political media would be hugely wound up. There has been no coverage that I can tell.

Brett,
I'm not sure this is about Trump being satiric.
People aspiring to occupy such high offices should be seen to be more 'responsible' in their comments.

Hi Remmy,

Can you please share your primary sources for the quotes in the article, while not a defender of Trump in any way or form I can’t find any genuine sources for any of the statements in the article below.
