In 2013, The Onion posted this article, written by FAKE Donald Trump:

Recently, while going through their emails, The Onion found this real letter threatening The Onion for the fake article from the real Michael Cohen.

Earlier today, the real The Onion tweeted this response to the five-year-old letter.

.@MichaelCohen212, we will gladly delete this article, per your request, in exchange for influence over the president’s decision-making. https://t.co/DjgcNAW7xV pic.twitter.com/07SaZyRhif

And then the real Michael Cohen tweeted this self-own.

Maybe all of you #haters #trolls missed the memo but @TheOnion is a news “SATIRE” Organization. That means…it’s not real! #GetALife https://t.co/zHEr3E9LF7
