I don't even know what is real any more.

If it sounds ridiculous but kinda makes sense, probably satire. If it's batshit insane and feels like a bad movie, reality.

Now this is so obviously fake: we all know Trump does not like the military, so why should they be named after Generals? More his style and class would be "Julius" and "Ethel" (Rosenberg) or "Benedict" (Arnold).
