Newly Discovered Very Illegal Thing Will Finally Bring Down Trump (Or Be Another Cute Tile in the Mosaic of Democracy’s Demise, I Guess)

By Broti Gupta and Karen Chee
June 13, 2017
Our only on-the-record comment came from the Commander-in-Chief himself, via Twitter. It read, “I would never do Illegal Thing, despite all the evidence that I did do Illegal Thing.” This statement was officially released after four failed attempts to spell “evidence.”
In closing, our opinion is that this New Illegal Thing is what will finally bring down Trump. It must be the final straw after, to review, he has already been accused of:

Sexually assaulting multiple women.
Continuing to engage in corrupt business dealings around the world.
Firing the F.B.I. director, James Comey, for investigating Trump’s ties to Russia.
Sharing classified information with the Russian Ambassador and foreign minister.
Trying to eliminate the health-care system.
Building a campaign on racism, Islamophobia, and sexism.
Like, all those things should have really done it by now, right?
How is that not enough??
HOW MUCH WORSE DOES HE NEED TO GET?!
DO WE NEED TO RELEASE THE PEE TAPES?!
HAVE WE GONE INSANE?! WHAT IS HAPPENING?! HE DOESN'T EVEN WANT THIS JOB!! DO YOU KNOW HOW DUMB OUR ARTICLES LIKE “MUST-TRY UNDER-THE-RADAR RAMEN RESTAURANTS IN PORTLAND” LOOK RIGHT NOW?? CAN WE NOT CATCH ONE BREAK?? DON’T YOU WANT TO CARE ABOUT RESTAURANTS AGAIN???

All right, well, it looks like this Illegal Thing is just going to be another cute tile. Can’t wait for the next one that will inevitably happen in, like, two hours.
