CLEVELAND (The Borowitz Report)Donald J. Trump was jubilant Thursday night after accomplishing his goal of delivering a speech that no one will ever want to plagiarize, Trump aides confirmed.
According to his staff, Trump and his speechwriters had been working overtime during the week to create a tirade that was sufficiently bloated, unhinged, and terrifying to discourage potential plagiarists from reusing excerpts in the future.
Paul Manafort, Trumps campaign manager, said that, right until the hour the candidate took the stage, the billionaires writing team was scrubbing the speech of any marginally coherent passages that might prove tempting to plagiarists.
There was one sentence toward the beginning that had traces of humanity and rational thought, Manafort said. Fortunately, we caught it in time.
