Trump Calls His Al Qaeda Recruitment Video Highest-Rated Terror Video EverBY ANDY BOROWITZ
.............
Shabaab would never put Jeb in video, Trump tweeted. Knows he is loser!
.................
But even as the billionaire boasted about his inclusion in the terror video, the prospect for future collaborations between Trump and Shabaab seemed to dim, due to a series of escalating demands issued by the real-estate magnate.
In a cascade of tweets directed at the terror group, Trump insisted that he be paid two million dollars for every subsequent video and that he retain editorial control over the final cut.
In a terse official statement, a Shabaab spokesman said that the terror group was discontinuing our relationship with Donald J. Trump.
Hes just too hard to work with, the spokesman said.

over absolutely anything that made him the "biggest." His team probably remind every day and before every appearance that he must not do it in public in this case.

(9,350 posts)5. Trump Might Actually Issue That Statement
I would not be surprised if Donald Trump issued a statement similar to the satirical Andy Borowitz statement. I would not be surprised if Trump issued a statement saying of course they included him in the video, they knew people would watch the video if he appeared in the video. He might even attack Hillary Clinton for not appearing in a terror video.
