On 7 April 2017, a post detailing a supposed reality show about President Donald Trump's administration was done well enough that it left many readers wondering if it was real. According to the original post, Trump released a statement promoting the show, which would be titled The Real First Family of D.C. The show would allegedly meld the gripping family drama of HBO’s Game of Thrones with the sizzling political intrigue of the Netflix series, House of Cards. The post is clearly billed as satire, but it does play into not only Trump's television background, but into items like First Lady Melania Trump's decision to stay in New York City, rather than join her husband in moving to Washington D.C.: Apparently not even the casting couch line was too over-the-top for readers; for example, one commented: Holy crap I too at first thought this was a true story? Breath Peggy Breath! The post's author, Allan Ishac, responded: We contacted Ishac seeking his reaction to the response the post has generated thus far. He told us: Ishac also said that his posts are always marked as humor or satire, unless the satire is completely absurd.
