WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Donald J. Trump deleted nine tweets early Wednesday morning
in a failed attempt to spell the word “subpoena,” a White House source confirmed.
According to the source, Trump spent more than an hour angrily trying to spell the legal term before giving up in disgust.
“I’ve never seen him so enraged,” the source said. “He hates the word ‘subpoena’
more than the E.P.A. hates the words ‘climate’ and ‘change.’ ”
Having been flummoxed in the past while trying to spell such words as “heel” and “tap,” Trump now believes
that the word “subpoena” is “out to get him,” the source said.
Speaking to reporters later in the morning, Trump called the word “subpoena” “disgraceful” and said
that it had treated him “very unfairly,” but stopped short of threatening to fire it from the dictionary.

In defense of Trump the word does have 8 different letters in it, at least twice
of his usual vernacular.
He better get used to seeing it though.
In other news Trump's lawyer, Ty Cobb, has decided to retire.
Who could blame him ? He doesn't want a loss on his record, nor a client that won't listen to him.
Trump plans to replace Cobb with Bill Clinton's impeachment attorney.
Lets get ready to rock & roll !
