WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Donald J. Trump has ordered a replica of the Nobel Peace Prize and is displaying it prominently on his desk in the Oval Office, the White House confirmed on Wednesday.
The replica of the Nobel medallion is mounted on what the White House described as a “tasteful black-velvet background” with an engraved plaque reading, “Donald J. Trump, 2018 Winner.”
Mr Trump was asked if he thinks he deserves the prestigious award - given to his predecessor President Barack Obama in 2009 - and he said: “Everyone thinks so, but I would never say it”.
Looks like Trump got some of his own medicine. I do hope, however, that the situation turns around and ends well. This is, obviously, enormously more vital to the world than the comedy of American politics.
