Trump Signs Executive Order Banning Month of November

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Donald Trump stirred controversy on Friday by signing an executive order that would ban the month of November.

While legal scholars protested that he did not have the right to reduce the number of months in a year from twelve to eleven, Trump argued that “the Constitution doesn’t say anything about how many months you have to have.”

“All of those smart guys like Jefferson and Madison, those beauties, this is something they didn’t think of,” he said. “I got them on the months.”

Trump said that eliminating November from the calendar was “long overdue,” calling it “a rigged month.”

“November is a hoax,” he said. “Some people say it may not even be a real month.”

Responding to a reporter’s question about the future of Thanksgiving, Trump said that “nobody will miss it.”

“Just ask anyone in this country,” he said. “Nobody has anything to be thankful for.”

As for my birthday - I personally don't celebrate it anymore so November being scrapped is OK in that regard.

But then Thanksgiving... If the election goes the right way we will have a lot to be thankful for.

As for Thanksgiving, as long as the election goes our way, there will undoubtedly be unprecedented givings of thanks from sea to shining sea! But we absolutely can't let our guard down since we'll still have 2 months of Trump and there's no telling what traitorous shenanigans he'll be up to!

I have a feeling that this is something that never crossed The Donald's mind, since it doesn't affect him. Just out of curiosity, I looked to see if any of his kids were born in November, but they seemed to have skipped that month, the two girls were born on October and Junior in December, but I'm guessing that wouldn't matter to him, anyway...
