A spokesman for Trump's admin was quoted saying:

I can't believe that the democrats would use their Jewish space lasers on the hardworking electoral college land plots like this. Because of this, we need to defund the weather agencies and FEMA to prevent this, and divert the funding to the Space Agency to shoot the lasers down!

Please tell me that's satire. I honestly can't tell at this point.

I completely made it up as a joke, so satire.

I genuinely didn't think it would fool anyone, sorry about that.
