BUENOS AIRES (The Borowitz Report)In an unusual display of unity by an often fractious organization, the leaders of the G-20 nations voted unanimously on Saturday to deny Donald J. Trumps urgent request for asylum.
Prior to the vote, Trump had been heard asking colleagues ranging from Angela Merkel to Xi Jinping for safe harbor in their countries, sweetening his request with offers of free luxury penthouses in Trump buildings around the globe.
In the most stunning insult to Trump, his closest allies, Vladimir Putin and Mohammed bin Salman, responded to his asylum request by laughing uproariously in his face and high-fiving each other.
After the resolution to deny Trump asylum passed by a 190 vote, international observers said that they had never seen the G-20 act with such enthusiastic solidarity. Justin Trudeau and Emmanuel Macron were practically peeing themselves, one observer said.

(1,851 posts)Well we know Trump won't want a cat. So perhaps they'll let him camp in an embassy someplace.
