MOSCOW ( The Borowitz Report )—In a stunning rebuke of a former close political ally, Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday angrily resigned from Donald Trump’s 2020 reëlection campaign.
The abrupt resignation sent shockwaves through the Trump reëlection organization, for which Putin had served as chairman.
Putin’s sudden departure, which he announced during a joint appearance with the United States Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, appeared to catch the former ExxonMobil C.E.O. off guard.
“Given the recent actions of Donald Trump, I feel that I can no longer effectively serve as his campaign chairman,” Putin told reporters, while Tillerson looked on awkwardly.
In an unusually emotional comment by the Russian President, a visibly bitter Putin added, “I worked very hard on Trump’s 2016 campaign, and, at the end of the day, I have no more to show for it than Chris Christie does.”
At the White House, a source close to Trump said that he had not yet decided who would take Putin’s place in his 2020 campaign, but that it would “probably be Jared.”
Oh no, the bromance is coming apart....
at the end of the day, I have no more to show for it than Chris Christie does.”

Well, that was short lived....I guess Putin got trumped.....
I doubt that Putin got trumped...In the real world look at what Russia and Iran are doing in Afganastan.
Agreed. Just rolling with the humorous bent of this Andy B. story

From Gail Collins's column this morning:
Morning Consult, a nonpartisan polling company, recently queried registered voters across America on their attitudes toward their governors, and Alabama’s got a 44 percent job approval rating, with 48 percent disapproving. That’s bad, but there were nine other governors who ranked lower.
Pop Quiz: Guess who ranked on the very bottom of the chart?
A) Chris Christie
B) Chris Christie
