WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)In a bold initiative aimed at ending the shutdown, congressional Democrats on Thursday agreed to fund a border wall and reopen the government if Donald Trump leaves the country forever.
Calling the deal a huge win for America, the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, said that Trump would get the wall he wanted plus the opportunity to do something incredibly patriotic for his country.
Pelosi brushed aside criticism of the offers 5.7-billion-dollar price tag, telling reporters, When you consider what we are getting in return, nine trillion dollars would be a bargain.
But, even as Pelosi touted the offer, some details remained unresolved, such as finding a country willing to accept Trump.
