Another boring week in our nation’s capital — a real yawner — other than that dust-up in which President Trump said he might not leave office if the election doesn’t go his way.
Thanks to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, that conundrum will be avoided, as The New Yorker’s Andy Borowitz dutifully documented.
In order to ease the peaceful transfer of power this coming January, Amazon has offered its Prime delivery service to ship Donald J. Trump out of the White House within twenty-four hours.
Speaking from his corporate headquarters, … Bezos said that he understood why Trump had misgivings about leaving the White House. “Moving is always hard,” Bezos said. “At Amazon, we want to make Donald Trump’s move as speedy as possible.”
Bezos said that, on Inauguration Day, an Amazon Prime delivery truck will arrive at the White House to prepare Trump for shipping, “free of charge.”
After he has been packed, bar-coded, and scanned into the system, Bezos said, Trump will be expedited to the destination of his choice.
“Amazon Prime guarantees that he will be at Mar-a-Lago within twenty-four hours,” Bezos said, adding that it would take slightly longer if the shipping address is in Moscow.
Just 39 days until the election, folks. VOTE!
