Trump Signs New Executive Order Granting Himself Unemployment Check in January
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)Donald J. Trump raised eyebrows on Monday by signing an executive order granting himself a million-dollar unemployment check if he leaves office in January.
Trump said that he will deserve the seven-figure check if the election is stolen by what he called a conspiracy between the U.S. Postal Service and Antifa.
In a further defense of the huge payment, Trump said, If Im out of a job, Ivanka, Eric, and Don, Jr., will be, too.
The executive order immediately drew howls of protest from congressional Democrats, as well as from the Republican senator Ben Sasse, who called it a steaming pile of constitutional crap.
Unmoved, Trump called the Nebraska senator Poor Lil Sassy and argued that the executive order was a work of genius that should guarantee him a place on Mt. Rushmore.
Those beauties like Lincoln and Jefferson never thought of anything this smart, he said. They would be lucky if I let my head be carved out of the same rock as theirs.
