TRUMP CONSIDERING PULLING U.S. OUT OF CONSTITUTION
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Calling it “maybe the worst deal ever,” Donald J. Trump said on Wednesday that he is considering pulling the United States out of the United States Constitution.
“I’ve seen a lot of bad deals in my life, but this Constitution is a total mess,” he said. “We need to tear it up and start over.”
Trump was scathing in his remarks about the two-hundred-and-twenty-nine-year-old document, singling out for special scorn its insistence on three branches of government. “The branches thing is maybe the worst part of this deal,” he said. “The first thing we do when we pull out of the Constitution is get rid of two of those branches.”
He also called the First Amendment “something that really has to go.”
“No one in his right mind would put something like that in a Constitution,” he said. “Russia doesn’t have it. North Korea doesn’t have it. All the best countries don’t have it.”
He stopped short of accusing his predecessor, Barack Obama, of writing the United States Constitution, but said, “He’s working hard behind the scenes trying to save it, because he knows that the Constitution is very, very bad for me.”
Vowing to replace the Constitution with “a new, much, much better Constitution,” he acknowledged that there might be some elements of the original document worth salvaging. “We’re going to keep the Second Amendment,” he said, “and definitely the Fifth.”

@kingdragonfly: And the second amendment is the right to arm bears and now for anyone who passes the "ability to fog a mirror while breathing" test.
Why would you arm bears?

CNN Politics - Donald Trump just accidentally revealed something very important about his 'fake news' attacks
On Wednesday morning, President Donald Trump sent out a tweet bashing the media. Nothing new there.
But, this tweet was different: Trump unintentionally revealed the false premise on which his relentless calls of "fake news" is based.
Here's the tweet:
The point can be summed up in these two words from Trump: "negative (Fake)."
To Trump, those words mean the same thing. Negative news coverage is fake news. Fake news is negative news coverage.
Trump either doesn't understand or ignores the difference between a story he doesn't like and one that is not true.
He conflates the two for his own political purposes - knowing his base hates the media and is more than ready to believe that journalists are willing to make up stories just to make Trump look bad.
Time and time again, Trump's claims about "fake news" have been debunked.
What he calls fake news isn't fake at all. It's true - he just doesn't like to read about it because it paints him as fallible, and he hates that.

CNN - Everything scrapping the Iran deal says about Donald Trump
... And it revealed two other pillars of the Trump presidency - a propensity to turn even the most crucial moments into a global televised drama, and his ravenous desire to eradicate President Barack Obama from the history books.
