WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)After watching it suffer its worst losses since he became President, Donald Trump is seriously considering firing the Dow Jones Industrial Average, aides have confirmed.

According to the aides, Trump is furious at the D.J.I.A. for going down so precipitously and believes that it has treated him very unfairly.

Increasingly, the President has become convinced that the Dow Jones Industrial Average is not on his team, one aide said. Seeing the negative Dow numbers in the corner of the TV screen has been wrecking eleven hours of every day for him.

Reportedly, Trump is mulling replacing the Dow with a new system, in which Sarah Huckabee Sanders would appear every day at 4 p.m. to announce how high stocks had skyrocketed.

En route to an appearance in Ohio, Trump stopped short of saying that he would ask for the stock market indexs resignation, but his contempt for the Dow was palpable.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average is a disgrace, and it should be very, very ashamed of itself, he said.

What's sad is that it could be a real headline. Satire is dead in the Trump era.

The Borowitz Report makes me want to eat a Tide Pod. Like even this lame premise could be improved if he didn't insist on using "Industrial Average" on each reference. (I assume it's New Yorker style to do so?) This joke works 50 times better if it's that Trump thinks Dow Jones is a person.
