The Borowitz Report - Qatar Signs Historic Deal to Own US President
Link: https://www.borowitzreport.com/p/qatar-signs-historic-deal-to-own
DOHA, QATAR (The Borowitz Report)—Last week Qatar inked a historic agreement to acquire a president of the United States, Emir Tamim bin Hamad al Thani confirmed on Monday.
But even as Qatar touted the acquisition, critics argued that the president it bought was in poor condition and not fully functional.
Additionally, the critics noted, he was preowned, having previously been purchased by Vladimir Putin, Elon Musk, and dozens of others.
For his part, the emir brushed off such criticism, telling reporters, “He can’t possibly be worth less than that shitty old 747.”
