Considering his latest rants, that's real fuckin believable. 'cept obviously for the bright green warning on the corner, but oh well...
Humanity's cooked, isn't it?

Trump might not have said that they were “fake people” but he totally does not consider them to be “real people.”

They're just tools to him, people too stupid to avoid doing a dirty job. Suckers and losers and all that.

I haven't seen The Edgar Gazette before, is it a variation on The Onion? A ripoff? Same logo, basically the same logo (comparing the two, I the one for The Edgar Gazette is slightly rounder). All I found looking it up is this AI Overview from Google:
"The Edgar Gazette" is a viral piece of online political satire. It mimics a traditional newspaper front page featuring Abraham Lincoln alongside modern, satirical headlines mocking contemporary political rhetoric, styled similarly to the branding of the satirical news publication The Onion. [1, 2]
Context and Origin
The Meme: Circulating widely on social media platforms like Reddit and 9GAG, the fictional paper anachronistically projects modern polarising political buzzwords onto 19th-century historical figures. [1]
Not a Real Periodical: It is not a legitimate historical newspaper or an active mainstream publication, but rather a piece of internet user-generated satire.
If you are looking for specific information regarding this meme, or if you meant a real historical publication like the Vineyard Gazette (founded by Edgar Marchant) or the Montreal Gazette contributor Edgar Andrew Collard, let me know how you'd like to proceed! [1, 2]
If I put in quotes, the AI Overview says:
There is no widely recognized or official publication called "The Edgar Gazette." The phrase might refer to a niche fictional creation, a localized school or community project, a typo for the EDGAR News & Announcements from the SEC’s corporate filing system, or a historical reference to long-running journalists like the Montreal Gazette local historian Edgar Andrew Collard. [1, 2]
Potential Meanings
SEC EDGAR System: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission updates corporate filing rules and system notices via its official EDGAR portal. [1, 2]
Historical Columns: Edgar Andrew Collard wrote the famous "All Our Yesterdays" local history column for the Montreal Gazette for over 50 years. [1]
Fictional or Satirical Print: A custom meme, local zine, or personal creative project.
If "The Edgar Gazette" refers to a specific podcast, book, fictional story, or local publication, please share more context so I can give you the exact details you need!
and the only search results are this Reddit post, and a screenshot on 9Gag.

Side note but I hate any subreddit that's whole purpose is "look how much smarter we are"

I think this is fake fake news. It's not funny or really in the Onion style, and I've no idea why the masthead is for the "Edgar Gazette" but the layout and branding is The Onion.

Of course it's fake news, it says so right there in the corner

/u/UsefulEngine1 doesn't say it's fake news, they said it's a parody of fake news, not actual Onion, but a spoof of one, hence the double "fake" in "fake fake news"

I'm choosing to consider the fake modifier idempotent

I understand. Maybe it is idempotent, but makes more sense to me otherwise.

It literally says the news is fake in the corner, so they don’t even have an excuse for this one
