WASHINGTON (AP) — This year’s Economic Report of the President credits an unusual group of interns that includes the alter egos of Batman, Spider-Man and Captain America, Monty Python alumnus John Cleese, Kathryn Janeway from “Star Trek: Voyager” and the corpulent Star Wars villain Jabba the Hutt.

These names are credited with helping to assemble the 711-page report issued Tuesday on the health of the U.S. economy and President Donald Trump’s economic agenda.

The names appear to be following a similar prank in the intern listing for the 2018 report, in which “Star Trek” luminaries James T. Kirk and Jean-Luc Picard worked for the White House Council of Economic Advisers.

The Twitter account maintained by the council acknowledged the joke Tuesday afternoon.

1. I've got to think John Cleese wouldn't appreciate his name being used in any connection

with the Trump White House. He’s commented on his complete disdain for Trump. And what if the groups that own the rights to those various characters don’t want their properties used like that?

3. Punching down.

Instead of giving interns acknowledgement, these Trump associates substituted fake names.

4. I'm sure Janeway would be happy to send the Trump admin to the Delta quadrant.

They could try from this list next time ...

Cartalk's arbitration expert (Viola Fuss) could help. Their Car seat advisor (Rush Lumbar) should be hired next time. They could also get the suppliers of insurance to Dewey Cheetham and How - C.F.I. Care.

But seriously... fake interns? Yup. Fake admin. I'd prefer a car talk admin... funnier, and actually has some useful advice.

5. If the pic is of the announcement- they didn't just list the fiscal years...

They had to include Obama And Trump.

Wow.
