Karen Ohl: It’s on the internet, so must be true: Donald Trump born in Pakistan
Today those fake people living in tabloids are jumping off the pages, threatening to infest the White House! Unbelievable cabinet appointments by a reality show host! Fake news by Russians might have helped elect him. Thus, fake news creates reality.
A deranged gunman invades a pizza restaurant to shoot non-existent sex traffickers. One fake news broadcast from Pakistan, however, is funny. They claim Donald Trump is really an orphan born in Wazeristan, Pakistan, whose real name is Dawood Ibrahim Khan. When his parents died, a British officer took him to London, where the Trumps adopted him, taking him to New York. So it’s not legal for him to be president! They show a picture of an orange-haired toddler in native dress. Looks like him!
