    The Times newspaper in London ran a front page on Tuesday that quickly went viral for its formatting of two unrelated stories.

    What We Know:

    • Editors at the newspaper positioned a photograph and story about a dancing cockatoo with yellow hair who dances to the Backstreet Boys, alongside a story about Trump no longer wanting to have anything to do with the British ambassador to the U.S., Sir Kim Darroch.
    • Darroch described Donald Trump as “inept”, “insecure” and “incompetent” in a series of memos written from 2017 that got leaked. Trump fired back at Darroch via Twitter, calling the ambassador “wacky”, “a very stupid guy”, and a “pompous fool.”
    • It’s believed that the newspaper, which is owned by Republican Rupert Murdoch, chose the layout of their front page as a subtle way to fire back at Trump.
    • Coincidence maybe? People on Twitter beg to differ and found the editor’s use of juxtapositioning hilarious.

    A+ trolling… https://t.co/mufVj0IoBF

    What are the odds that the Times staff have been sat on that parrot story for ages, waiting for a Trump headline to run the picture alongside? https://t.co/FGOGx1ZupN

    Whether it was intentional or not, this front page is one for the books.
