With a satirical front page for their Sunday edition, the Boston Globe is giving readers a look at what they believe America would be like with Trump as president.
As the fake headlines make clear, the Globe’s editors are not optimistic.
“DEPORTATIONS TO BEGIN; President Trump calls for tripling of ICE force; riots continue”
“Markets sink as trade war looms”
“New libel law targets ‘absolute scum’ in press”
“Bank glitch halts border wall work”
“Trump on Nobel prize short list”
The page, dated April 9, 2017, will run at the front of the paper’s “Ideas” section. An editor’s note at the bottom of the page reads:
“This is Donald Trump’s America. What you read on this page is what might happen if the GOP frontrunner can put his ideas into practice, his words into action. Many Americans might find this vision appealing,but the Globe’s editorial board finds it deeply troubling.”
