A headline from the page read „President Gore,“ a reference to Al Gore’s presidential race against George W. Bush in 2000.
President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign headquarters was reportedly plastered with newspapers carrying a non-existent front page from the year 2000 on Sunday. The campaign’s communications director, Tim Murtaugh, tweeted images of the front page under the banner of The Washington Times, a conservative publication founded in 1982. „Greeting staff at Team Trump HQ this morning, a reminder that the media doesn’t select the president,“ wrote Murtaugh in his tweet. A headline from that page read „President Gore,“ a reference to Al Gore’s presidential race against George W. Bush in 2000. However, Gore lost to Bush in the election that year. The fake headline was printed as if it was an actual article from The Washington Times.
