https://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-report/ivanka-trump-reportedly-begged-putin-to-order-her-dad-to-stop-capitol-attackIvanka Trump begged Vladimir Putin to command her father to call off the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, new reports indicate.
According to evidence collected by the House subcommittee investigating the insurrection, when Trump witnessed the rioting on television, she immediately placed a call to the Russian President.
Youve got to talk sense to my dad, Trump reportedly pleaded. Youre the only one he listens to.

Not Jared? the Russian leader inquired.
He thinks Jareds a joke, she replied.
According to the report, Putin politely declined her request. If it got out that I was helping save American democracy, that would make me look bad, he explained.
Trump reportedly said that she understood, and then placed a call to the North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un.

For those that don't understand - this is satire.

Take orders from another leader? A communist leader?!? Thats whom radical RepubliQs support? So to be patriotic for the USA you have to support communism?
Yeah, not a winning play for them.

the piece being satire was not a guarantee.

(38,000 posts)23. Next time, please put Borowitz in the title
That way one can avoid clicking if one thinks Andy Borowitz's satire is not worth reading.
