On the streets of Washington to passers-by handing out a newspaper that follows the design of The Washington Post, where on the main page under the heading «Unpresidented» was published the news about the imminent departure of Donald trump to resign. It was reported that trump flew to Yalta, leaving the napkin on the Desk in the oval office a note about his retirement.
There are fake print editions of The Washington Post being distributed around downtown DC, and we are aware of a website attempting to mimic The Post’s. They are not Post products, and we are looking into this.

Soon, the Washington Post published on Twitter’s official statement, assuring that on the streets handing out fake without having to the publication of any relationship. The forgery was well done, recognizable paper Post both visually and to the touch it did not differ from the respected newspaper. Simultaneously, the Internet was the website-double the newspaper, which contained an electronic version of the publication about the care of trump.
It is not yet known how many copies of a fake newspaper were handed out, but the commotion was caused by a large. Now everyone is looking for the initiators of an unprecedented large-scale prank. The Straits Times drew attention to video of group Code Pink on Facebook, which depicted the distribution of Newspapers.
The panel does not assume responsibility for the action, but knew where it was going to happen, and obviously pleased with what is happening. Code Pink is a liberal activist group associated with the women’s movement, based in San Francisco. Perhaps it is indicated by the part of the fake publication, which says that trump is out, including because of the activity of the women’s movement… In the form distributes Newspapers people like madey Benjamin — founder of Code Pink movement. Neatly expressed, as the skill of the manufacturers of the fake newspaper and the website is great, might be fake and this video is… Code Pink is rather silent.
On the eve of the Women’s March, which will be held in the USA on January 19, this fake can disrupt its participants, and without having separated due to differences in political views. On the other hand, may attract more interest.
Thus, it may be important that the organizers of the fake mentioned in the publication of the Yalta — hint of when trump with Russia (although Yalta is in the Crimea and the world sees this city Ukrainian). Either the organizers are not aware of such details, or on the contrary familiar with Soviet, Russian and Ukrainian history — here Crimea is clearly associated with the departure of leaders in history, as it was with Khrushchev, Gorbachev and Yanukovych. Meanwhile, Business Insider points as possible pranksters «The Yes Men» — leftist organization activists, which supposedly hints about their involvement.
Surprisingly, this time the fake news still has not commented on trump or someone from the White house.
