MONTECITO, CA - From his cool, air-conditioned mansion, famed genius and internet inventor Al Gore held a press conference today where he officially banned Donald Trump from the internet.
"As the inventor of the internet, I hereby declare Trump banned for life," Gore said solemnly. "He's not allowed on Twitter, Facebook, Angelfire, MySpace, Geocities, AOL, Google, Tinder, TikTok, anything. If it's on the internet, it's under my domain."
Many people aren't aware that Gore invented the internet, but the claim is true, having been fact-checked as "double-plus true" by Snopes. One urban legend claimed that Bob Internet invented the internet in 1995, but he turned out to be a fraud. The true story is that Gore was sitting around at a White House mixer in late 1996 and was "pretty plastered."
