Broken News: Twitter Trips - Trump Throws Tantrum!

Washington,

Twitter Trauma Triggers Trump Tantrum

President Donald Trump picked up his tweeting machine at 3PM and got an error message on Twitter. In frustration, he threw his iPhone against the wall, shattering its glass screen. "How can I tweet now?" he exclaimed. "I have something to say and I can't Tweet! Someone get me a tweeter that works, so I can post, Goddamn it!" His toilet aide rushed in after hearing this clamor, only to find the President smearing feces on the wall frantically. At last report, Secret Service officers had responded, but were not able to give Trump a working tweeter-box. The tantrum continued.

..... if they shut down until after 2020 election day or until Trump is safely strapped into a restraining vest and talking....no lying to himself in his padded cell.

Man, I’d give up Twitter forever if it meant he threw a rod.

At least his attendant did not have to witness the spreading of the feces on Trump himself...THAT image might burn out the retinas!
