A mock front page the Boston Globe published in 2016 that warned against a Trump presidency turned out to be eerily prophetic

The fake Boston Globe front page from April 10, 2016 reads "deportations to begin," and says "markets sink as trade war looms," all of which is happening today.

  • The Boston Globe newspaper published a mock front page on April 10, 2016, as commentary arguing against then-candidate Donald Trump's presidential campaign.
  • Nearly two years later, that mock front page turned out to be eerily prophetic.
  • Some of the fictional headlines on the page that read, "Deportations to begin" and "Markets sink as trade war looms," are similar to what is happening in the present day under the Trump administration.

The front page, published on April 10, 2016, featured fictional stories that painted a bleak picture of what the US might become under the Trump administration.

That editorial is proving to be eerily similar to events that are actually happening in the present day.
