Trump Bids Ben Carson Farewell Until Next Black History Month

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—On the final day of Black History Month, Donald J. Trump thanked Ben Carson for participating in a handful of photo opportunities during the month, and bade him farewell until Black History Month next year.

Saying goodbye to Carson at the White House, Trump praised him for “sitting or standing next to me” at various times over the past four weeks.

“At the beginning of Black History Month, you came to that breakfast we had, and last week you went with me to that museum or whatever,” Trump said. “We’ll do things like that again next year. Thanks again, Ben, and goodbye.”

As the retired neurosurgeon turned to leave the White House, a reporter asked Carson, who is Trump’s nominee for HUD Secretary, whether he had any plans beyond standing near Trump during Black History Month.

it's probably closer to the truth than --- well than Trump would think. We, on the other hand, are not surprised. But it's much too complicated for the orange wonder.

At least Carson called it what it was when he said "I do not have any qualifications for this job.
