WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)Taking bold action to safeguard the health of millions of Americans, Dr. Anthony Fauci has tricked Donald J. Trump into believing that there is no Easter this year, Fauci has confirmed.
After hearing Trump declare on Tuesday that he hoped to reopen the country on Easter Sunday, an alarmed Fauci decided to spring into action. I ran down to my computer and mocked up a phony 2020 calendar with no Easter on it, Fauci said. Then I showed it to Trump and said, Theres a problem with your plan, Mr. President. Theres no Easter this year.
According to Fauci, Trump was initially baffled by the news. How could that be? Trump asked. Theres Easter every year.
This is a leap year, the quick-thinking virologist replied.
I guess I didnt know it worked that way, Trump said. I never go to church.

As always, Donald Trump is an idiot and an ass hat.

But by now, a Christian knows when it is. Maybe Fauci can tell him it's in November...the day we unelect his ass. Then, he'll know why the church bells are ringing.
