Girl Scouts Obtain Restraining Order Against Trump (Borowitz, Satire)
The order, which the Girls Scouts were granted on Monday night, prevents Trump from coming within three hundred feet of any gathering of the Scouts organization.
Carol Foyler, a Girl Scouts spokesperson, said that while the G.S.U.S.A. sought the restraining order out of an abundance of caution, the girls themselves were in no way, shape or form afraid of President Trump.
....
Trump wasted little time responding to the Girl Scouts action, lashing out at the organization in a blistering early-morning tweet storm.
Failing Girl Scouts bad (or sick) guys, Trump wrote. Mints, cookies terrible. Sad!

HuffPo:
When asked how he knew this, Trump grumbled, Excuse me, have you ever seen the President lead a cabinet meeting in singing Michael Row Your Boat?
But... When CBS Bob Schieffer started to ask another question, Trump cut him off: Excuse me, in my opinion, its horrendous and makes him the worst Boy Scout ever. Used to be Steven Hawking... That guy couldnt build a camp fire but did give instructions on building a nuclear powered cooking range.
Huh? An outrageously racist steam-whistle in a CBS interview while talking about Boy Scouts!?? How'd this miss making his list of greatest?

(58,785 posts)slavery-era black spirituals surely would have to be satire, right? As would a story of a ritual "dear leader" humiliation Rump put his own cabinet through.
Sad, but might as well laugh. We are living a dark comedy.
