WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)One day after it issued decisions on L.G.B.T.Q. rights and the Second Amendment that provoked his ire, Donald J. Trump said that he would overrule the Supreme Court by creating a Supremer Court.
Right now, if the Supreme Court makes a bad decision, quite frankly, youre screwed, he said. The Supremer Court fixes that.
Trump said that his Supremer Court would be a beautiful, perfect court that would make the Supreme Court look like exactly what it isa sad bunch of losers.
Trump said that the Supremer Court would be housed in a giant, gleaming building overlooking the Supreme Court, enabling the Supremer Court Justices to look down at those pathetic little Supreme Court jerks and laugh.
As for choosing Justices for the Supremer Court, Trump said that there were no Supreme Court Justices worth promoting, except maybe Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas.
Judge Roberts is the beauty who gave us Obamacare, and Gorsuch is a total snake, Trump said. At least with Kavanaugh and Thomas youve got two terrific people.
