On 23 November 2016, Nevada County Scooper (also known as NC Scooper) published an article that appeared to report that President-elect Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka would be moving into the White House in lieu of her father's wife Melania: It is true that Melania Trump is not immediately expected to move to the White House from New York City. However, the portion about Ivanka Trump taking Melania's place at any point was fabricated. Although NC Scooper's humor is typically fairly obvious, the claim about Ivanka Trump was not the first that readers mistook for real news. Previous articles shared as legitimate news included claims that five million uncounted Bernie Sanders ballots were found on Hillary Clinton's e-mail server (and that Sanders had called for chemtrail reform), that Meg White was selected as the new drummer for the band Rush, that Merle Haggard left his entire estate to a LGBT group, that roving gun confiscation vans had been spotted in California, and that the Clintons surreptitiously purchased a mansion in the Maldives.
