Broken News: Trump to Hire Assange as National Security Adviser

Washington, April 11, 2019

Donald Trump to Enlist Julian Assange as Security Chief

President Donald Trump, in a surprise move, sent Air Force 1 to London on a secret mission to pick up Julian Assange, who was publicly removed from the Ecuadorian Embassy there yesterday. In a press briefing where he took no questions, Trump said, "With his long experience in digging out secrets from Internet sources, Mr. Assange has proven his abilities at security operations. Remember, he found Hillary's emails, which were instrumental in my historic election by huge voter margins in 2016.

"Julian will be a strong asset in our intelligence community, where he will have total access as my new Acting National Security Adviser. I have granted him a Top Secret SeeItAll security clearance today. Senate Majority Leader McConnell has promised that he will be confirmed early next week, after I reminded him of a certain incident a while back."

"Once again, I have scored a real coup in adding this talented man to my Cabinet! No Collusion! No Obstruction!"

ago, I would have considered satire. Trump and his party are systematically killing satire among other things.

... it would be Julian Assange. That's the one reason I don't think it would ever work out. Chump wouldn't be able to stand it when Assange gets more media coverage than he does.
