The Boston Globe's opinion editors are describing it as "the front page we hope we never have to print."

Editors said they went through Donald Trump's speeches, website, statements by advisors and position papers and reported what they found, making a mock paper of what they believe will happen if Trump is elected as president.

"This was an exercise at taking Donald Trump at his word," said Kathleen Kingsbury, deputy managing editor of the Globe's editorial page, in a video on the Boston Globe's Facebook page.

The satirical paper is dated Sunday, April 9, 2017, and the top headline is "Deportations to Begin."

Kingsbury said they focused on immigration and trade tariffs.

"We want the Republican party, as they head to their convection this summer, asking themselves tough questions. ... We want the Republican Party to figure out how to bring honor back to politics in America," she said.
