JOHNSTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA (The Borowitz Report)Brushing aside gloomy predictions, Donald J. Trump said that he would trounce Hillary Clinton in the November election.
A lot of people dont think I will beat Hillary, but they should prepare to be wrong, he said. I am about to beat her by a landslide.
Offering a rationale for his prediction, Trump said, As crooked as Hillary was in 2016, she is even crookeder now. Mike Pompeo is going to release her e-mails, and theyre a disgrace. Were moving quite strongly and powerfully on this.
Claiming that he beat Clinton in their 2016 debates, Trump noted, Its no wonder that Hillary doesnt want to debate me now. She knows Id destroy her.
Trump said that he is very much looking forward to the election, because it will give him a chance to see Hillary crash and burn one more time.
When Election Night rolls around, as sure as youre sitting there, absolutely no one will vote for Hillary Clinton, he said.

Fyrefox
(300 posts)Trump's essentially campaigning for the 2020 election using his 2016 playbook of which Hillary-bashing was a core component. While his hardcore base of the stupid, the mean-spirited, and the gravely misguided will continue to vote for him, that playbook won't serve him nearly as well as it earlier did. Trump is at core a rigid, inflexible personality incapable of changing, learning, or adapting. He feeds on old, bygone victories and entrenched hatreds...
