Boston Globe readers woke up to a surprise this morning.
The paper’s front page features a satirical collection of articles depicting a potential Donald Trump presidency with stories about mass deportations, protests and a plunging stock market.
The page is dated April 9, 2017, and features a large photo of Trump below dominant headline that reads “Deportations to Begin.” The accompanying story has Trump calling on Congress to fund a deportation program amid protests.
Another article focuses on a plunging stock market. Some jokes are included, such as a mention of Yellowstone National Park being renamed for Trump.
In an editorial, the Globe calls the satire “an exercise in taking a man at his word.”
The Trump campaign didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
