A joke? It's verifiable because he said he might name it Pravda, and the fact that he actually registered it is further evidence that it's a joke?
I'm not saying he's really going to do it, but I question your certainty here with a total lack of actual evidence.

- ComradeTaco 8y agoThe words of leaders should always be taken literally, because the those words only become "jokes" when they are otherwise unexplainable in rational discussion.
- unethical_ban 8y agoVerifiably is a strong word on this site. Fair enough. I'm still right though. Options: * In 2018, A foreign-born Capitalist billionaire with sometimes negative press coverage suggests creating a Ministry of Truth named after a Russian propaganda newspaper to call out journalists who make false claims in their reporting. He registers a corporation for that purpose on the 100th anniversery of a bloody revolution bringing about the Soviet Union. * A man known for using puns and showmanship in their communications trolled a bunch of people who latch onto his every word, especially when they don't like the man. And to ComradeTaco, this isn't the presidency, and he didn't spout hate speech. It was a joke.
