MOSCOW (The Borowitz Report)Russian President Vladimir Putin is starting to get concerned that the puppets he installed in the executive branch of the U.S. government might not be up to the task at hand, sources confirmed on Tuesday.
According to the sources, the flameout of the national-security adviser Michael Flynn was only the most recent event that has caused Putin to wonder if the figureheads he propelled into office are just too dim-witted to serve the goals of the Russian Federation.
When you choose a puppet, youre looking for a sweet spot, one source close to Putin said. You want to choose someone whos dumb enough to be manipulated, but not so dumb that he cant find the light switches.
Increasingly, it looks like we missed that sweet spot, the source said.

I have a learning disability and I am smarter than he is. I would feel safer if I was leading this country and that is also kind of scary.
