Welcome to this Sunday edition of TBR! This week we unveil an amazing new anthem for Greenland, and unearth a humiliating story from Donald Trump’s failure-laden past.

Note: This story is 100% true, because it would be impossible for me to make up something this bizarre.

When Donald Trump recently slapped his name on the Kennedy Center and a proposed series of battleships, he shocked millions who couldn’t imagine a U.S. president marking his territory like an incontinent poodle.

But these christenings, as embarrassing as they were, shouldn’t have come as a surprise. Trump has never been able to resist putting his name on things. In fact, he once did it to a horse.

While Trump’s catastrophic tenure as a casino proprietor is legendary, less has been made of his brief but equally disastrous career as a racehorse owner.

In 1988 Trump agreed to pay half a million dollars for a colt named Alibi, whose royal lineage marked him as a potential Triple Crown winner. Although the name Alibi should have appealed to an owner who was constantly in legal hot water, he chose instead to rename the horse “DJ Trump.” That means that, if you count Don Jr., for a brief moment in American history there were three mammals with the same name.

Great story! Please read the rest on The Borowitz Report ....

I kind of feel bad for the poor horse though. He had no chance. Of course he was doomed to fail, because "everything Chump touches, dies."
