Borowitz - Trump's Clown Diplomacy

As the world’s most famous bone-spur patient launches the dumbest war in American history, let’s examine a more under-the-radar act of idiocy he’s committed on the world stage. Thankfully, this one hasn’t resulted in war—yet.

Last year, when Trump was cramming floppy-shoed passengers into his Clown Cybertruck—I mean, choosing members of his new administration—we could be forgiven if his appointment of a US ambassador to The Bahamas eluded our attention.

Distracted by the nomination of such highly-qualified luminaries as Pete Hegseth, Dr. Oz, and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., we might have overlooked Trump’s stellar addition to the American diplomatic corps: Herschel Walker.

Trump and Herschel go way back. In the 1980s, Walker was a star running back in the USFL, the football league Trump drove into bankruptcy before he launched his storied career of driving casinos into bankruptcy.
