How does this fall under the definition of satire?

“the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.”

Where’s the humor? Where’s the irony?

What is he “satirizing”?

He’s trolling and calling it “satire.”
