Borowitz on Trump's ISIS recruitment video... [View all]

Trump Calls His Al Qaeda Recruitment Video Highest-Rated Terror Video Ever
BY ANDY BOROWITZ

.............

“Shabaab would never put Jeb in video,” Trump tweeted. “Knows he is loser!”
.................

But even as the billionaire boasted about his inclusion in the terror video, the prospect for future collaborations between Trump and Shabaab seemed to dim, due to a series of escalating demands issued by the real-estate magnate.

In a cascade of tweets directed at the terror group, Trump insisted that he be paid two million dollars for every subsequent video and that he retain editorial control over the final cut.

In a terse official statement, a Shabaab spokesman said that the terror group was “discontinuing our relationship with Donald J. Trump.”



“He’s just too hard to work with,” the spokesman said.
