MOSCOW (The Borowitz Report)—Calling the Republican nominee’s behavior “completely indefensible,” the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, cancelled a joint campaign appearance with Donald Trump on Monday.

Putin, who had been scheduled to campaign alongside Trump at a rally in Columbus, Ohio, said that he would make no joint appearances with the billionaire for the remainder of the campaign.

“As the father of two daughters, I cannot condone or defend Mr. Trump’s behavior,” the Russian leader said in a curt official statement.

In addition to cancelling his appearance with Trump, Putin, who had been expected to spend thirty-one million rubles, or roughly five million dollars, on Trump campaign ads, is pulling those funds and will instead “focus on down-ballot races,” the statement said.MOSCOW (The Borowitz Report)—Calling the Republican nominee’s behavior “completely indefensible,” the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, cancelled a joint campaign appearance with Donald Trump on Monday.

Is this an example of rats deserting a sinking ship or the sinking ship deserting the rat?

(Borowitz Report is SATIRE! The article is SATIRE!) Warning: SATIRE!

1. It won't be the same at Trump's events without Putin.

Frankly, I believe that 90% of the crowds are there to see Putin.

One might be somewhat skeptical that Vladimir Putin was going to appear at a campaign event in Ohio.

It could be worse. He could send Chris Christie out shirtless.

11. Yeah. They'll probably pick a Shetland to put Christie on. Hopefully there will be

a Clydesdale nearby to kick both of their fat asses to kingdom come. If not that, then DU's Skittles will!!

8. That won't affect Donald's loans will it?

on Trump campaign ads..." Nonsense, right?
