4. Lord, I would not be surprised at this rate

But he hates Mexicans, Hispanics in general and he wouldn't want one in his cabinet.

8. That's the best thing about ambassadors -- they serve abroad.

More than one ambassadorial appointment has been made to get a gadfly out of the immediate political vicinity.

PALM BEACH (The Borowitz Report)—Donald J. Trump raised eyebrows in diplomatic circles on Saturday by naming the former drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman U.S. ambassador to Mexico.

Trump told reporters that the appointment of El Chapo was consistent with his policy of surrounding himself with “only the best people.”

When asked about El Chapo’s ten felony convictions, Trump said, “I wish he had more, but I still think he’s qualified.”

Trump’s plan hit a snag, however, when El Chapo turned down the post, stating that it would be “embarrassing to serve in the same administration as Dr. Oz.”
