Trump delivers stunning insult to Ukraine?

“Donald Trump is one hundred and ten percent correct when he says that no one needs to be worrying about Ukraine,” she [Sarah Palin] said. “If you look Ukraine up on Google Maps, like I just did, it’s right where it’s always been.”

 


NEW YORK, Aug 4, 2016 (UBO) – Donald J. Trump never misses an opportunity to strengthen his campaign team. If we are to believe the New Yorker magazine's Borowitz Report of August 2, 2016, Trump “attempted on Tuesday to reassure voters about his geopolitical expertise by adding the retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson and the former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to his team of foreign-policy advisers.

 

“Donald Trump always said that, as President, he would surround himself with the best people,” Trump’s spokesperson, Hope Hicks, said. “In Governor Palin and Dr. Carson, Mr. Trump now has the Dream Team.”

 

Speaking to reporters, Palin dismissed the controversy over Ukraine as “much ado about a gotcha question.”

 

“Donald Trump is one hundred and ten percent correct when he says that no one needs to be worrying about Ukraine,” she said. “If you look Ukraine up on Google Maps, like I just did, it’s right where it’s always been.”

 

In a press conference held to announce Ben Carson’s endorsement, Dr. Carson said that, as President, Donald Trump would support the territorial integrity of Ukraine and “its magnificent network of underground grain tunnels.”

 

 “I cannot overemphasize the importance of Ukraine’s grain pipeline,” he said. “If you choke off Ukraine, Europe cannot bake bread.”

 

Trump’s spokesperson said that the additions to his foreign-policy brain trust should give voters “great confidence” that a Trump White House would be equal to the challenge of an international crisis. “When that 3 a.m. call comes in, and Mr. Trump is busy on Twitter, Dr. Carson and Governor Palin will be there to take the call,” she said.

 

There is a possibility that there is a certain amount of tongue-in-cheek involved with the Borowitz Report; you may form your own opinion by referring to the original at:
