GREENLAND (The Borowitz Report)On Thursday the government of Greenland flatly rejected Donald J. Trumps offer to trade Vice President JD Vance for a stake in the islands rare earth minerals.
In a strongly worded rebuke, government spokesman Hartvig Dorkelson declared, Greenland will consider any attempt to transfer ownership of JD Vance to this island to be an act of war.
Greenlands statement drew an impassioned response from the VPs wife, Usha Vance, who urged the islands government to reconsider Trumps offer.
I strongly recommend that you agree to this deal, she said. Were not even insisting on the minerals part.
