Since the beginning of the Trump era and the dissemination of deliberately fake news, I’ve intentionally avoided satire, and faked videos/photos (no matter how obvious and funny). But this piece of humor/satire by Andy Borowitz is actually a good idea (yeah, I know, I’m spoiling the fun, but I’m deliberately labeling it as a humor/satire so there is no confusion):
NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—The former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg upended the 2020 Presidential race on Friday by offering Donald J. Trump ten billion dollars to leave the White House by the end of the day.
“I will deposit ten billion dollars into your account in Moscow, Riyadh, or wherever you do your banking these days,” Bloomberg announced. “All you have to do is go.”
In addition to the ten-billion-dollar offer, Bloomberg told Trump that he would cover the moving expenses of Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, Kellyanne Conway, and any other associates “that you haven’t already gotten rid of.”
The sooner Trump leaves office the better. And a bribe might actually work. I certainly hope Bloomberg considers it.
