WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)In a sign that Donald J. Trumps control over the Republican Party is now complete, congressional Republicans on Thursday defended his decision to give the Russian President Vladimir Putin office space at the White House.
A newly emboldened Trump told reporters that he had furnished Putin with a corner-office suite and secretarial staff to use whenever the Russian President is in town. He says he plans to be here more and more, Trump said.
Putin, who moved file boxes into his new office on Thursday afternoon, said he looks forward to many productive hours at the White House with few, if any, interruptions.
At the Kremlin, people are always sticking their heads in my office, asking me questions, he said. President Trump just spends all day watching TV.
At the U.S. Senate, a visibly angry Senator Lindsey Graham called allegations that there was anything improper about Trump giving office space to Putin totally unfair, disgusting, and vile.
Vladimir Putin has worked harder to run the U.S. government than all of the Democrats in Congress put together, Graham said.

(54,256 posts)"It was a DEMOCRAT, for God's sake, John F. Kennedy, who had the red phone 'hotline' direct contact from the White House to the Kremlin installed in the oval office, following the Democrat botched Cuban Missile Crisis, which followed the botched Bay of Pigs fiasco.
How much better will it be if Putin has actual desk space IN the oval office? No problem if the phone lines go down. They'll have actual face-to-face contact.
The Lincoln bedroom is being readied for Vlad and his entourage."
