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!”

"Sad" humor by Rump, who grabbed the chance presented by this enormous crowd of teenagers to mostly brag about his glory days of the campaign rallies.

"By the way, just a question, did President Obama ever come to a jamboree?" ( "Boooo!" )




HuffPo:
Donald Trump interrupted, “Excuse me, excuse me, I hear Obama was the worst camp fire maker and an awful camp fire song singer.”
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, it’s horrendous and makes him the worst Boy Scout ever. Used to be Steven Hawking... That guy couldn’t 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?

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.
