Trump Suggests Putin Just Claim He Won

[demmiblue]

PALM BEACH (The Borowitz Report)—As the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues to encounter difficulties, Donald J. Trump has advised Vladimir Putin “just to claim that he won.”

“He needs to get on TV and say that he’s the winner,” Trump said. “He should say that he had a victory in Ukraine like you wouldn’t believe.”

Trump said that the Russian President should hold rallies across the country to tell his supporters that he won but that his victory had been stolen from him.

“I thought Putin was smart, but maybe he’s not so smart after all,” Trump said. “If he doesn’t say he won, he’s some kind of stupid dummy.”

6. It is satire from Borowitz.

Satire is indistinguishable from reality anymore, though.

when will the GQP repeat what the Russian ambassador said at the UN. Seems like Russia and the GQP have been in cohorts with each other for a while.

As he holds court from the roped off table in the middle of the dining room.
