"Donald J. Trump’s vision for the future of our nation is as deeply disturbing as it is profoundly un-American.

It is easy to find historical antecedents. The rise of demagogic strongmen is an all too common phenomenon on our small planet. And what marks each of those dark episodes is a failure to fathom where a leader’s vision leads, to carry rhetoric to its logical conclusion. The satirical front page of this section attempts to do just that, to envision what America looks like with Trump in the White House.

It is an exercise in taking a man at his word. And his vision of America promises to be as appalling in real life as it is in black and white on the page."

2. Once again T-rump gets pub that money can't buy

I know nothing about the Globe, or Boston for that matter, but who thought that this would be a good idea?

This is the state of contemporary "journalism"

What a joke

6. "I know nothing about the Globe, or Boston"

Boston is a city in state of Massachusetts in the northeast USA.
It's pretty much where the American Revolution began.

Here's a link for more info:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston

The (Boston) Globe is the major newspaper in New England.
"The Globe has a long tradition of being a progressive institution, and especially on social issues."
"The Boston Globe has been awarded 23 Pulitzer Prizes since 1966."

8. Much to learn you must young Padawan. Welcome to DU.

[Person 2713]

3. K but wasn't April Fools over a week ago? As much as I detest Trump I do not find this opinion

piece anything but fuel for his fascist fantasy followers and bring him sympathy
Of course also free press, as he gets to respond to the attack

[Jeffersons Ghost]

4. K&R you do not appear to "detest Trump"

Trump is a racist reactionary fool, catering to hate-mongers! LET'S ALL POST OPINIONS ABOUT TRUMP HERE!

[Rhiannon12866]

5. I certainly agree!

I've heard more than enough about Trump for one lifetime...

[FailureToCommunicate]

7. This just hit our doorstep! Wow. Scary articles of an possible Trump presidency.

[greatauntoftriplets]

9. Unusual, but good for them!

[ffr]

10. It does help to see into one possible future if people choose not to vote

This could be our future and I think that's the point.

[left-of-center2012]

11. It's satire depicting a possible bad future

I was surprised at responses which thought it promoted Trump.

[ffr]

12. You and me both.

Some people's minds don't work deductively.

[rladdi]

13. The one smart issue with Trump is he knows the politicians are selling out the

American workers and allowing manufacturing to move out of the USA. He knows the politicians don't care about the American workers. I think he will fix the trade policies and maybe trash the trade agreements our ignorant politicians have approved.

Being a politicians doesn't make them an expert in all fields as they think they are. Plus the voters need to reject and defeat those Governors and politicians that allow manufacturing to move out.

[Chemisse]

16. You sound like a Trump supporter.

You understand the publishing of this paper was satire, aimed at giving people a glimpse at how awful a Trump presidency could be?

[suffragette]

19. Like Ivanka's Chinese made flammable scarves?

It's not a smart issue when you're a hypocrite.

[Separation]

14. Not the responses I thought this would get

I dont see how this would be good in any way for Trump? This is obviously a satire of what any day to day would be like under a Trump presidency, and none of it is good for Trump. I dunno, I totally got what you were getting at by this post, others not so much?

15. Remember when SNL gave us a glimpse of a Bush presidency back in 2000?

Video: http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/bush-state-of-the-union/n11385

Transcript: http://snltranscripts.jt.org/00/00dglimpse1.phtml

War, environmental disasters, crumbling infrastructure and even a hunting accident involving vice president Cheney.

"Wow, the Great Lakes are on fire. Even I know that's not good."

[Chemisse]

17. This is great! A public service.

Few news agencies have dared to cross him, so I congratulate the Boston Globe for doing so, and very effectively.

And Trump's well-thought out response? "That's stupid!"

18. Yuiyoshida gets a letter in the mail from the United States State department

This order from the President, states you will have one of two choices.
1.) You will physically work on the wall, without pay in order to keep your residence status or
2.) Report to Los Angeles on April 15th, to be assigned to the USS Donald Trump carrier, to be deported, from the United States to Wenzhou China, (to the United States Releasing station in China.) You will be given 100 US dollars, to find a place to eat and sleep on your own, or you can make arrangements prior to leaving the United States. Your citizenship will be revoked the day you board the ship, and You will not be allowed to Re-enter the United States of America.

Please note An Attorney will not be available to you despite the fact you were born in the United States. Your parents, because they are married, will be sent to the Shanghai facility where they will be processed there (because they can not use option one Because of their age.)

On behalf of the United State government, we hope you have a pleasant trip to China. Be sure to turn in all documents; drivers Licence or ID CARD, Credit or debit cards, Library cards, insurance documents, etc on the detailed list below, as you will not need this in China. Please let your employer know,that you will be quitting the Job you have now.

Thank You very much,
Donald J. Trump
President of the United States

21. You may have to explain a little bit for us dummies.

Your name infers that Trump is deporting someone with Japanese heritage to China. Which, if my history serves me, is like a death sentence for you or at the very least, probably won't turn out well for you. I think that's part of your entertaining satirical story.

Trump could make a far more creative gesture for his cause, by having every democrat imprisoned and made to work on the southern U.S. wall. At least that way, he'd have something like 65 million workers all working free of charge.

I wouldn't get why he would need to be so greedy though. We're already pretty much working for free as is. What's the damn insistence that we absolutely have to work for free under his rule? I'd feel better about it if he'd through the low information GOP voter in to help too. That would be poetic justice!

[yuiyoshida]

23. more detail here...

and under my scenario, Trump disbands the Democratic party, making it a one party
Country, sort of like the USSR.
