http://bit.ly/2qB0EtFTRUMP BOASTS THAT HIS IMPEACHMENT WILL GET HIGHER TV RATINGS THAN ALL OTHER IMPEACHMENTS
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)In an interview with NBCs Lester Holt, Donald Trump boasted that, if he is impeached, the television ratings will be higher than those of any other impeachment in history.
Everywhere I go, people tell me that if I am impeached, theyre going to watch it, he said. The ratings are going to be through the roof.
He said that he expected his impeachment ratings to be many, many times the size of the audience for Bill Clintons impeachment, in 1998.
Its not even going to be close, Trump said. The ratings for Bill Clintons impeachment were a joke.

Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture that states that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, it is impossible to create a parody of extreme views so obviously exaggerated that it cannot be mistaken by some readers or viewers as a sincere expression of the parodied views
