    Trump started a huge debate over the 'Canadian Dollar' recently and said that they are using our dollar bills and calling them 'Canadian Dollars'. Trump even says that Canada should get their own currency and not let them continue to use ours for whatever profits they make as it's causing the US Economy to go bad.

    More on the story in the article above.

    Exactly what purpose is being served by "satire" news sites?

    In my day, we just called it "lying."

    It's almost like humour is a thing that exists. Not quite, but almost.

    I guess, if you consider cashing in on the outrage of the gullible while simultaneously spreading false information to be humorous.

    Actually, now that I've said it, I realize that it is humorous in a demented sort of way.

    Still don't like it, though. It's too easy for a lie to become popular opinion if it's repeated often enough.

    Truth can be scarier than fiction after listening to the latest scandal from the bus recording...

    Um...pretty sure the Canadian dollar is it's own dollar :p

    I mean, our dollar is worth less than the US dollar at the moment, so how in the world would it be bad for the US economy? In any case, it's bad for our economy.

    This thing you call "lying" is one of the foundations of Trump's campaign (one would think it would be easy to get a double digit lead over someone who "won" in a rigged primary. Alas not.). Little wonder why such satire is being published.
