Andy Borowitz

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In an interview with NBC’s Lester Holt, Donald Trump boasted that, if he is impeached, the television ratings will be higher than those of any other impeachment in history.

“Everywhere I go, people tell me that if I am impeached, they’re going to watch it,” he said. “The ratings are going to be through the roof.”

He said that he expected his impeachment ratings to be “many, many times” the size of the audience for Bill Clinton’s impeachment, in 1998.

Yeah OK, Borowitz is weird and goofy and he goes crashing into the absurd pretty regularly, but he makes this kinda thing work because it's towards the logical extreme.  There's something about it that doesn't seem all that crazy considering just how nutty 45* behaves almost daily.
