Trump Abruptly Halts Highly Anticipated Livestream of Jon Ossoff’s Execution—Leaving Nation Demanding Answers

Well, someone please tell me what reality show I accidentally woke up in, because when I saw President Trump canceling a livestream execution—yes, you read that right, we’ve left “truth is stranger than fiction” in the dust and are rocketing straight toward “is this the deleted season of The Apprentice?”—I almost spewed my coffee clear across the den. Sometimes I have to remind myself that satire is still satire (for now), because here’s a headline so absurd, so jaw-droppingly outlandish, you almost can’t believe it’s fake. And yet, it’s peak 2020s: authoritarians doubling as showrunners, cable news anchors moonlighting as dungeon masters, and livestreams that might or might not involve US senators—some of whom apparently can walk, contrary to presidential assumption.

Has American politics always felt so much like a fever dream, or is it just Trump’s flair for mixing vengeance, ratings, and parentheses in one unhinged soundbite? Anyway, if you’re wondering whether reality TV has officially merged with democracy—or just need a good laugh-cry about the state of things—you’re about to get your wish . LEARN MORE

WASHINGTON—Calling off the event that some had labeled “controversial,” President Donald Trump announced Friday that he was canceling the planned livestream execution of Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA). “I still believe it would have been a strong deterrent for the world to witness how America deals with Democrats,” said Trump, who stated that the incumbent U.S. senator was a “traitor,” a “bad man,” and a “very, very evil guy” for the “heinous act” of winning more than 2.2 million votes in Georgia. “Make no mistake, it’s still happening as planned. Just no livestream. I commend Pete [Hegseth] for wanting to discourage others from opposing me.” Trump went on to say he didn’t realize Ossoff wasn’t paralyzed.
