April Fools’ Day (sometimes called All Fools’ Day) is celebrated every year on April 1 by playing practical jokes and spreading hoaxes.
The jokes and their victims are called April fools.
People playing April Fool jokes expose their prank by shouting April Fool. Some newspapers, magazines, and other published media report fake stories, which are usually explained the next day or below the news section in small letters. Although popular since the 19th century, the day is not a public holiday in any country.

Anyone who cares about their country, anyone who cares about basic decency will stand up against what Donald Trump suggested today with respect to the 2nd amendment.
He and his surrogates will try to say it was a joke or that he was referring to “get out the vote” efforts.
No thinking person believes that to be true. He was stirring the pot, he was trying to distract from his obvious political shortcomings, he was trying to stir up his base.
Gabby Giffords knows the consequences of inciting violence, we can’t afford to have a President who thinks its ok to say what Donald Trump said today.

Trump’s Rally in Chicago Canceled After Violent Scuffles
With thousands of people already packed into stands and music blaring to warm up the crowd, Donald J. Trump’s campaign abruptly canceled his rally here on Friday night over security concerns as protesters clashed with his supporters inside an arena where he was to speak.
Minutes after Mr. Trump was to have taken to a podium on the campus of a large, diverse public university just west of downtown, an announcer suddenly pronounced the event over before it had begun. Hundreds of protesters, who had promised to be a visible presence here and filled several sections of the arena, let out an elated, unstopping cheer. Mr. Trump’s supporters, many of whom had waited hours to see the Republican front-runner, seemed stunned and slowly filed out in anger.
Around the country, protesters have interrupted virtually every Trump rally, but his planned appearance here — in a city run for decades by Democrats and populated by nearly equal thirds of blacks, Latinos and whites — had drawn some particularly incensed responses since it was announced days ago.
For hours, the Chicago police, along with university officers, the federal authorities and others, were out here in force.
A Chicago police spokesman said that city law enforcement authorities were not consulted and had no role in canceling the event.
The spokesman said there had been five arrests, two by the Chicago police, two by the university’s police and one by the Illinois State Police. The fire department said three people, including a police officer, were injured.
