WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Offering an explanation for his sweeping tariffs on foreign films, on Tuesday Donald J. Trump argued that movies with subtitles “encourage reading.”

“Parents think their kids are safely at the movies, not spending two hours reading,” he said. “This should never be allowed to happen in our country.”

Calling the practice of reading “disgusting, quite frankly,” Trump said that the tariffs would cut off reading “at the source.”

In his most dire warning, he claimed that reading subtitles could lead Americans to read books, and eventually the Constitution.

I'm ba-a-a-ack my friends! After 6 days without power, it finally came on last night. We had a big storm in Pittsburgh and much of the city was without power until yesterday. Now I have hundreds of emails to read and delete.

1. Idiots go to movies to look at the pictures. I haven't seen a movie in years for two reasons:

I'm hard of hearing.

I can't read fast. I'm still working my way through War and Peace which is 1000 minutes long, I hear (pun intended).

2. As crazy as those words sound, it is very clear to me that Trump would say them--and RW would ignore it!

3. That is plausible, too plausible?
