Reading comprehension skills needed at White House.

Just for the hell of it, I signed up for the daily emails from the White House that are supposed to let you know what's going on, where Trump is going to appear and news of the day. In today's email, under the heading "News" they published the following satirical piece from the Washington Post.

Trump’s budget makes perfect sense and will fix America, and I will tell you why

Some people are complaining that the budget proffered by the Trump administration, despite its wonderful macho-sounding name, is too vague and makes all sorts of cuts to needed programs in favor of increasing military spending by leaps and bounds. These people are wimps. Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney has called it a “hard power budget” which is, I think, the name of an exercise program where you eat only what you can catch, pump up your guns and then punch the impoverished in the face. This, conveniently, is also what the budget does.

This budget will make America a lean, mean fighting machine with bulging, rippling muscles and not an ounce of fat. America has been weak and soft for too long. BUT HOW WILL I SURVIVE ON THIS BUDGET? you may be wondering. I AM A HUMAN CHILD, NOT A COSTLY FIGHTER JET. You may not survive, but that is because you are SOFT and WEAK, something this budget is designed to eliminate.

Apparently someone in the doesn't recognize satire or there is someone there who is spoofing the administration.

1. This is truly pathetic.

The site sure looks official to me. Probably not hacked, just a staffer too lazy to read the article, just like his/her boss.
