Trump Names El Chapo Ambassador to Mexico

PALM BEACH (The Borowitz Report)—Donald J. Trump raised eyebrows in diplomatic circles on Saturday by naming the former drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman U.S. ambassador to Mexico.

Trump told reporters that the appointment of El Chapo was consistent with his policy of surrounding himself with “only the best people.”

When asked about El Chapo’s ten felony convictions, Trump said, “I wish he had more, but I still think he’s qualified.”

Trump’s plan hit a snag, however, when El Chapo turned down the post, stating that it would be “embarrassing to serve in the same administration as Dr. Oz.”

    Even if this had been real, his loyalists would have applauded the appointment. Whatever Orange does is "perfect".

    This is how low we have sunk.
  • @Mona thanks for the laugh!
  • Mona,

    Sad but true.
  • “I wish he had more, but I still think he’s qualified.”

    LOL
  • @Mona- just great!! Thanks for that.
  • I nominate Mona for best post of the week.
  • I will second that.
  • I didn't know Borowitz is still around - he'll be an excellent antidote. In a similar vein, the Onion News Network on YouTube is pretty hilarious too.
  • I needed a laugh.
  • At least cocaine would be legalized. I mean FINALLY, right?
