The Fox News headline game: Trump edition

How this works:

1. Someone posts a bizarre, outrageous, etc. thing that Trump would say or do
2. Another person replies with how Fox News would spin it

Ex: "Trump actually stands in the middle of 5th Ave and shoots someone"
Fox headline: "Trump displays excellent marksmanship, reminds us all of how awesome the 2nd Amendment is"

I'll start: "Trump accidentally refers to Putin as 'my boyfriend'"
