Trump Makes Pence Watch Him Issue Pardons to See How It's Done
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)President Donald J. Trump made Vice-President Mike Pence watch him issue pardons for several hours to see how it is done, a White House source confirmed.
According to the source, Trump pardoned a number of disgraced political figures and former reality-show cronies for the sole purpose of training Pence in the art of issuing pardons. After signing pardon after pardon while Pence looked on intently, Trump commanded the Vice-President to sign a practice pardon to prove that he wouldnt mess anything up, the source said.
Before trying his hand at issuing a pardon, Pence heaped praise on Trump for the pardoning demonstration he had just given. Mr. President, as in everything you do, your mastery of pardoning has been a wonder to behold, he said. I pray to God that, if I am ever called upon to issue a pardon, I do it with one-tenth of the skill and grace you have just displayed.
Stop sucking up and sign it, Trump reportedly snapped.
