WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)A furious Donald J. Trump attempted to fire the Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, sources report.
According to the sources, Trump was so irate about the Supreme Courts dismissal of his election challenge on Tuesday that he phoned Barrett directly to inform her that she was history.
I hired you to get a job done, and you didnt get it done, Trump angrily informed Barrett. Youre out of here.
Sources say that Barrett had the unenviable task of informing Trump that Supreme Court Justices are appointed for life and therefore cannot be fired, a revelation that left Trump flabbergasted.
If I cant fire anybody I want, maybe I dont want to be President anymore, he reportedly muttered.
