Trump Calls His Al Qaeda Recruitment Video Highest-Rated Terror Video Ever

YUGE terror!

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—Just minutes after the Somali-based Al Qaeda affiliate Shabaab group released a propaganda video featuring a clip of Donald Trump, the Republican Presidential front-runner boasted that the video would be the highest-rated terror video of all time.

Within an hour of the video’s appearance, Trump took to Twitter to crow about his role in the jihadist promo, and tweaked his G.O.P. rivals for failing to be chosen by Shabaab.


“Shabaab would never put Jeb in video,” Trump tweeted. “Knows he is loser!”

=========================

Borowitz is great-

I just saw on CNN an interview with a Trump supporter at the Trump Show in MS this evening . Apparently the terror video was a fake -

A couple of attendees, meanwhile, questioned whether the video was authentic.

"I think that's fabricated," said Ralph Cahill, who drove two hours from Soso, Mississippi, to Trump's rally in a lime green stretch Hummer limousine adorned with posters of Trump.
