Screenshot of text: Donald Trump has announced he's cancelled the ceasefire in Gaza following the Nobel Committee's decision not to award him this year's Peace Prize. Despite his great work in stopping multiple wars that nobody had ever heard of, Trump was furious to learn the Nobel Committee had the audacity to award the prize to someone else, leading the US president to immediately cancel any peace plans in the Middle East. "I was robbed," said Trump, tossing his homemade Nobel medal made from yoghurt lids into the bin.

"I think decapitation is bad. It's very bad. It's painful and it it makes it very difficult to work," explained President Trump to reporters as he simultaneously belched and farted. "We want to stop the decapitation and, I don't know, if toothpaste leads to decapitation, then maybe we stop using the toothpaste. I don't know, I'm not an expert on toothpaste, but this is what they tell me. The toothpaste is bad. It's very bad." According to a report issued by Robert F Kennedy's HHS, in an overwhelming number of cases, decapitation was preceded by the use of toothpaste. "We have examined every case of …
