Sasha Obama's Real Name Isn't Sasha, and Literally No One Can Deal
Everything is a lie.

You know how you've spent the past eight years wandering around under the assumption that Barack and Michelle Obama's children are named Sasha and Malia? Well everything is a lie, because Sasha's name is not, in fact, Sasha.
Turns out Sasha is a nickname for "Natasha" (which has been listed on Barack's Wikipedia page this entire time, BTW), and she actually used it during her summer gig on Martha's Vineyard.
Obviously, this is MIND-BLOWING news, and the internet has reacted as you'd expect:
I was probably at home, years ago, seeing her name on her parents tax return....June 13, 2017
my entire life is a lie sasha obama's real name is natashaJune 13, 2017
WAIT A DAMN MINUTE. WHO IS NATASHA OBAMA? pic.twitter.com/HjNo1eXq1aJune 12, 2017
What is the truth, you can't handle the truth, etc.
