Donald Trump hasn’t exactly been mild in his criticism of so-called “fake news”.
Just watched the totally biased and fake news reports of the so-called Russia story on NBC and ABC. Such dishonesty!

His hatred of fake news now seems even to be permeating the merchandise sold in Trump Tower… well, we think. In all honesty, one particular T-shirt that seems to be taking aim at fake news just doesn’t make any sense.

Erm… “shut the fake up media”? Really? We have a sneaking suspicion the designers got a bit confused between “shut the fake media up” and “shut the f*** up” to come up with this delightful product.It’s just a bit confusing.

Wannabe graphic designers have chimed in with their own suggestions for how to improve the T-shirt.

As they say: It doesn’t matter what you wear, as long as you work it with confidence.
