The latest installment of "The Trump years have been tough on satirists like Andy Borowitz" [View all]

Everyone has a different take on what constitutes "exceptional satire." I remember Borowitz really going "hit or miss" during Trump's first term. This one is so close to reality that I see it, I register it, and I move on, because it's really impossible to exaggerate something like this to the point where it FEELS like "satire."

I have to imagine the "Nobel Committee" has seen the headlines and already drawn a red line through Trump's name. I guess the "satire" aspect of this comes when Trump's arrogant, clueless, narcissistic spoiled Richie Rich toddler is still lusting for a Nobel Prize, if for no other reason that Barack Obama received the honor.
