WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)In what is being hailed as a productive closed-door meeting between two leaders of the Republican Party, Donald J. Trump promised House Speaker Paul Ryan on Thursday that he would try to sound slightly less like the former German Chancellor Adolf Hitler.
Speaking to reporters at the U.S. Capitol after the meeting, the presumptive G.O.P. nominee said that Ryan had expressed concern that so many of the billionaires public utterances were reminiscent of the Third Reich.
Paul basically said, Can you help me out here? Can you not sound like Hitler all the time? Trump said. And I was like, Paul, I can absolutely do that for you.
As an example, Trump said, Instead of saying I am going to round up people based on their religion, Ill say thats just a suggestion. Just like that, Im fifty per cent less Hitlerish.
