WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Donald J. Trump has dispatched the White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, to Saudi Arabia to provide what the White House on Thursday called “essential lying advice and assistance.”
According to the counsellor to the President Kellyanne Conway, “The President was not happy with the quality of lies coming out of the Saudi royal family, and who better to fix that than Sarah Sanders?”
Sources close to Sanders said that the press secretary was “horrified” during her first meeting in Riyadh to discover that the crown prince’s lying skills were “rudimentary at best.”
“The absence of a free press in Saudi Arabia means that M.B.S.”—Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman—“has had virtually zero experience lying to reporters,” Sanders reportedly told one of her aides. “The learning curve is going to be steep.”
In perhaps her most withering comment on the state of the Saudis’ lying, Sanders said, “These clowns could never have gotten Kavanaugh confirmed.”

Trump is obviously too busy (playing golf and misleading voters) to go himself.

Sad to hear of the journalist's demise...when will Trump get a heart?...-it is not always about money...but will his base really care?...probably not...
1. where is his body then?
2. why wasn't his fiancé who was waiting outside informed?
3. why was there no ambulance called?
4. why all the lies including the one that said he left out the back door of the embassy and Saudi Arabia had nothing to do with it?
5. why the big cover-up over a fist fight?
6. why was he fist fighting with 18 people?
7. how is it the prince didn't know about this fist fight squad?.......
