On 10 April 2020, the website bustatroll.org published an article positing that U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had promised to resign if President Donald Trump were re-elected in 2020: This item was not a factual recounting of real-life events. The article originated with a website that describes its output as being humorous or satirical in nature, as follows: Everything on this website is fiction. Any similarities between this site’s pure fantasy and actual people, places, and events are purely coincidental and all images should be considered altered and satirical.' Although this article may have originated as an attempt at satire, it has since been reproduced as straight news by multiple websites with no labeling or other indicator that the piece was intended to be humorous or satirical in nature. For background, here is why we sometimes write about satire/humor.
