Satire from The Borowitz Report: “Trump Offers to Help Russia File for Bankruptcy”

Per Borowitz: “Bankruptcy is scary the first time you do it,” Trump said. “But once you’ve done it five or six times it’s the easiest and most beautiful thing in the world.”

I won’t repeat the mild sense of dissatisfaction I have in myself that I can’t use current events to make the world laugh at Trump, and, in this case, Putin. (OK, I just did.)

a) Putin and Trump are close; they’re good for one another, and it’s conceivable that they’re giving one another advice.

b) Putin’s in deep economic Bandini.

c) Trump has successfully kept himself above water, via the liberal use of bankruptcy laws and other tools by which to stiff his creditors.

d) Trump like to use phrases like the most beautiful thing in the world to describe mundane things like pieces of chocolate cake.

Damn, that’s just so good.
