In his announcement about the re-introduction of plastic straws Trump highlighted the dangers of exploding paper straws. Following lots of mocking the White House has produced evidence.
The anointed one has issued a royal decree that henceforth plastic straws were again to be permitted in the Kingdom. The orange magnificent one declared it was for the safety of his subjects as the evil woke paper straws were a dastardly plot by the leftist dogs to harm, nay kill, unwary citizens.
Many ungrateful citizens had mocked the pronouncement about exploding straws. Some had mocked the magnificent Trump with suggestions that surely he was grown up enough to take drinks without the aid of a straw. Others commented that perhaps his imperialness needed a sipper mug instead.
White House spokesworman, Karoline Leavitt, produced these startling pictures to prove the claims of her master who is absolutely not demented and prone to making shit up as he goes along. Suggestions that they were AI generated were dismissed as just the sort of thing that deniers of the shining way would say.
On further investigation it seems that the leftist zealots had created paper straws with tiny explosive devices on them. They avoided being blown up by being grown ups who gave up drinking with straws when they were 12.
