3. President Trump Launches Airstrike Against ‘Loser’ Twitter Troll

President Donald Trump launched an airstrike this morning against a New Jersey man who insulted him on Twitter.

According to local reports, fighter jets from the 169th airborne destroyed the home of Morristown resident Matt Jones with surface-to-air missiles sometime shortly before dawn.

The White House has confirmed the strike was in response to comments Jones made on Twitter under the username "JetsFan84".

"So this loser gets on Twitter a few weeks ago and says that my hair looks like the fuzz around an orangoutang's asshole," the president explained at a White House press conference.

"And so I was like OK. That's fine. He's a wise-guy, but whatever. No big deal. But then he keeps doing it. Again and again. Every single day. The worst kind of insults you can imagine.

"I mean excuse me, do you know who I am? I'm the president of the United States. Have you seen the military I have? I've got the biggest ships. I've got the fastest airplanes. I've got tanks like you wouldn't believe.

"You have to be some kind of idiot to say these things to me. Right? I mean how stupid are you to start a fight with President? I had the NSA trace this clown's address in like 30 seconds. And now his house is a pile of rubble."

style. I could hear his tone and cadence as well as his phrasing. It is perfect. Neither Borowitz nor The Onion could have done better.

Ordering fighter jets to launch surface-to-air missiles at a house is the kind of thing I can see Trump doing. Why should a genius bother consulting with so-called experts about technical details?
