The Borowitz Report: In Setback for Trump, Iran Says it Will Only Negotiate With Bad Bunny

TEHRAN (The Borowitz Report)—In a major setback for Donald J. Trump, the Islamic Republic of Iran announced on Tuesday that henceforth it would only negotiate with the Puerto Rican superstar Bad Buddy.

“Throughout his career, Bad Bunny has shown an ability to break down barriers and bring people together,” Tehran’s official statement read. “Our position is clear: no Bunny, no peace.”

In a sign of their eagerness to deal with Mr. Bunny, the Iranians said they were willing to conduct all future negotiations in Spanish, stating, “It will be easier for us to learn Spanish than whatever it is that Donald Trump speaks.”

In a further rebuke to the president, the Iranians ruled out any further dealings with Trump, calling him “muy loco.”

The Onion, though, has been doing this since their free print days and have brought considerable chuckles to get us through some really dark days--and still are. So, my too occupied "brain" made the assumption.

I'm glad Borowitz has joined in as well and he is definitely clever. Sorry for the error.
