![]() Link: https://theonion.com/trump-baselessly-claims-he-is-viral-40-pound-tabby-cat-named-daddy-cinnamon/ WASHINGTON—Promoting the unfounded assertion in an effort to improve his polling, President Donald Trump baselessly claimed during a White House press conference Monday that he was a viral 40-pound tabby cat named “Daddy Cinnamon.” “Yes, that’s right, folks—I’m the adorable, adorable fluffy furball who has been crawling all over your social media feeds,” the commander-in-chief said before licking the back of his hand and letting out a playful mew. “I’m a big, big cat, and I need a tasty treat. Daddy Cinnamon wants all the kibble. The Democrats don’t want you to see me play with a feather, but I have millions of Instagram followers who do. If you want to purchase a mesh tank top with my face on it, you can visit my official merch store at daddycinnamon.biz.” According to reports, the president’s remarks ended abruptly when he began chasing a laser pointer around the press briefing room. |

I think the word "baselessly" gave it away. If this were a real article, they'd use the standard he-said-they-said format, not taking a position on whether he's actually a fluffy cat, but letting the reader decide. |

Another TDS article!! Nobody seemed to be bothered when Biden claimed to be the Skibidi Toilet of Delaware! |

It's telling how far The Onion needs to go with satire for it not to be mistaken for reality. |
