In a surprising twist that only The Onion could deliver, President Trump has announced that the United States is now the first country to recognize the fictional state of Mega-Israel. During a press conference, Trump expressed disgust at the ongoing violence in the region while simultaneously pledging America's unwavering support for this new, imaginary nation.

"We recognize the right of Mega-Israel to exist as an ever-expanding sovereign nation," Trump stated, possibly with a straight face. He went on to criticize the West for ignoring Mega-Israel for too long and emphasized that this mythical land has the right to defend its self-proclaimed borders. "Today, I called Giga-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and I told him that the U.S. stands behind Mega-Israel, its Mega-land, and its Mega-army," he added.

Never one to shy away from hyperbole, Trump promised continued military support for Mega-Israel as it bravely faces threats from what he dubbed the 'Micro-Middle East.' At press time, Trump also revealed plans for the United States to officially endorse a one-Mega-Israel solution, leaving everyone wondering just how big this imaginary nation could get!
