NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)In what Donald Trumps transition-team members are calling a further example of international coöperation, Russian President Vladimir Putin has agreed to receive daily U.S. intelligence briefings in the place of the President-elect.
Trump, who had earlier decided that he did not need the briefings and had assigned Vice-President-elect Mike Pence to receive them, said on Tuesday that Putin was a much better choice.
No offense to Mike, but Vladimir Putin is just a terrific, terrific guy to do this, he said. He knows all the players.
Trump said that, while he was totally uninterested in receiving the briefings, Putin appeared to be extremely interested.
Hes just terrific, he said.
Trump also touted his deal-making prowess in securing the Russian Presidents services. The American people are getting an amazing deal here, he said. Putin is doing this totally for free.
