Trump Explodes After Biden Asks Him to Dog-Sit During G-7

LONDON (The Borowitz Report)—Donald Trump reportedly “exploded” after President Biden asked him to dog-sit his German shepherd, Major Biden, during the G-7 summit, in London.

“I called him up and said, ‘Do me this favor, man,’ ” Biden said. “He literally flipped his lid.”

Biden said that he had “no idea” why Trump had reacted so negatively to the idea of dog-sitting Major, whose obedience training “has been going really well.”

“I said, ‘Look, Jack, you’re not being reinstated at the White House, so taking care of the White House dog is as close as you’re gonna get,’ ” the President said. “Oh, well. It was worth a shot.”

I always picture the satirical scenario playing out in my head when I read it and it makes me laugh out loud.

Could you imagine if Joe asked him this, even as a joke? Just to f**k with his head, knowing how much he hates animals, dogs especially. And knowing that Major would probably tear TFG limb from limb if he actually ever met him? It would be my fantasy dream come true!




Thanks for posting, Rhiannon! I love Borowitz!

I wouldn't let that asswipe take care of a piece of dookie in a napkin, much less one of my babies.

Knew it was satire just from the title. Biden is way too smart to trust MF45 with a dog.

It would be funny for him to ask like in the story, though. I'd like to see that video

care for defenseless animals, and BIDEN wouldn't ask for that from him.

But Andy has a near 100% rate, so one is nothing!

According to Mary Trump's book, the kids never had pets, the father didn't approve. And we know that the youngest Trump boy, when he went to live in the White House, was offered a puppy (same as the Obama girls, Amy Carter, Susan Ford got puppy Liberty for her Dad, Clinton got Buddy, etc.) but his father wouldn't hear of it. So I agree, the former guy would definitely be President Biden's very last choice to care for the dog he obviously loves.

how PUTIN used his giant dog to harsass Angela MERKLE. So it's another thing BIDEN wouldn't do to anybody, even to Drumpf.

Anyway, I keep a watch whenever other members encroach on your Andy!1

Putin is apparently familiar with dogs - he may love them, we know that Hitler also did - but I would never trust my dog with the likes of him, and neither would Joe Biden.

And I do my best to keep up - but, unlike many of the favorites we often post here - I still haven't figured out if Borowitz has a regular schedule...
