Trump Urges Spy Agencies to Lay Off Russia and Focus on Threat Posed by Actresses

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—In an emergency meeting at Trump Tower on Monday morning, President-elect Donald J. Trump urged the heads of the nation’s intelligence agencies to “stop picking on Russia” and instead focus on “the very real threat” posed by Hollywood actresses.

Calling the recent allegations against Russia a “witch hunt,” Trump told the intelligence chiefs that their investigations of Russian President Vladimir Putin were distracting them from “America’s real enemy, actresses.”

Growing increasingly irate, he laid out a series of proposals for dealing with what he called a “scourge,” including mandatory registration of actresses and a temporary ban on actresses entering the country.

Additionally, he said that the flow of actresses could be “cut off at the source” by having F.B.I. agents infiltrate improv classes.

Every single time I read anything related to that man, I have to double-check to make sure it it not from a satire site.

Who here would not be surprised if we eventually saw this being reported by Reuters because it was actually true?

There is too much truth in it to be really funny.
This kind of going after his enemies is exactly what is about to happen...
