DETROIT (The Borowitz Report)At a speech in Detroit on Monday, the Republican Presidential nominee, Donald J. Trump, spelled out the details of his economic plan, which calls for every American to inherit millions of dollars from his or her father.
There are people at my rallies, desperate people, desperate because they want jobs, he told his luncheon audience at the Detroit Economic Club. Once they inherit millions from their father, they will never want a job again.
Using an anecdote to show how his economic plan would work, Trump explained, A man with zero dollars who inherited forty million dollars from his father would become forty million dollars wealthier.
We are going to make America rich again, he said.

Let's just say that it was a surreal experience. The food was good, though. It was lunch much better than was served at Cadillac Junior High. That is probably why I went. Plus, meeting a presidential candidate. Naive me.
