The Trumpster picks El Chapo as head of the DEA
NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)Just days after picking Betsy DeVos to run the Department of Education, President-elect Donald Trump has tapped another wealthy outsider by naming Joaquín Guzmán, known as El Chapo, to head the Drug Enforcement Administration.
In an official statement, Trump said that El Chapos tremendous success in the private sector showed that he has what it takes to shake things up at the D.E.A.
Trumps appointment of the former drug lord surprised many in Washington, in no small part because acrimony between the two allegedly prompted El Chapo, in 2015, to put a hundred-million-dollar bounty on Trumps head.
But, appearing on CNN, the Trump surrogate Kellyanne Conway said that the selection of El Chapo should surprise no one. Mr. Trump always said that he would surround himself with the best people, she said.
