Concerned Citizens Urge Trump to Stay Away from United States

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Donald J. Trump’s plans to travel to Kenosha, Wisconsin, hit a snag on Monday, after millions of concerned Americans wrote a letter urging him to stay away from the United States.

In the letter, the Americans told Trump that his “message of hatred and intolerance” is not welcome in their country.

“What the United States needs now is calm, and your presence here would be counterproductive to achieving that,” the letter continued. “Please stay away.”

Although Trump has issued many travel bans since taking office, the letter appears to be the first effort that directly targets him.

When asked for Trump’s response to the letter, the White House press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, said, “President Trump does not have a policy of reading.”
