Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has derided The Boston Globe as "stupid" and "worthless" in response to a satirical front page printed by the newspaper that lampoons a potential Trump presidency.

The fake front page is dated April 9, 2017, and its main story is about Trump calling for deportations.

Another article mentions work being halted on a wall at the Mexico border.

There's also a short item about the backlash Trump received after tweeting a photo of his new dog he named "Madame Peng", after China's first lady Peng Liyuan.

In an editorial, the Globe calls the satire "an exercise in taking a man at his word".

Speaking on the campaign trail in Rochester, New York, on Sunday, Trump called it a "totally dishonest story".
