Trump Claims Arizona Audit Uncovered Widespread Math

PALM BEACH (The Borowitz Report)—Hinting darkly that “there’s something going on,” Donald J. Trump claimed that the election audit in Arizona had turned up “widespread math.”

“There were people counting votes who used math to do it,” he said. “This should never have been allowed to happen in our country.”

Explaining how math was used to count votes, Trump said, “If you take one number and add another number to it, you get a totally different number. It’s unfair and, quite frankly, a disgrace.”

Trump blamed Arizona election officials for “allowing math to be used in the first place,” but also pointed the finger at his former Education Secretary, Betsy DeVos.

“Betsy promised me she would totally get rid of math in this country,” he said. “She didn’t get it done.”

It's a shame he wasted his talent on being the latter - but such is egomania.

Borowitz is brilliant - and funny! And anyone who can bring us humor during these perilous times deserves to be supported - and shared!

To say what he has proof of, or put a cork in it. When he talks they should suggest a special prosecutor appointed to expose his lies by forcing him under oath to back up his accusations with testimony.
