(Washington DC) In a move that would have caused outrage only a year ago, donald trump’s recently merged social media platform Truth Social, and combine nuclear fusion company TAE Technologies, has been awarded a contract to develop “clean social energy” for the United States. The award was granted hours after the merger was announced.

The White House says the grant will provide “a breath of fresh air for people sucking up the coal of twitter,” according to press secretary Karoline Leavitt. White House officials say the project had been proposed years ago, under the first trump administration, but no company “so forward-looking, or so awesome” had yet emerged to claim it. This contradicts Democratic claims that the grant was made up earlier today.

The award will include large bonuses to any shareholders that are leaders of nations, pleasing both trump and several middle east sovereigns. “What a lovely surprise,” trump said in remarks.

The newly merged social platform and fusion research firm says they plan to bring the best of both worlds to the company, and say they are only five years away from both fusion, and telling the truth.
