Slop.

This was shared with me by a well-meaning Trump-hating lib boomer in my life and is a pretty perfect little example of why this "Borowitz Report" sucks shit. It's a fully libbed up wannabe Onion but it has absolutely no sauce.

The point the article is going for is "ha ha look at how unhinged Trump's UN speech was, what an absurd and terrible guy he is" but the comparison point it picks is Hugo Chavez's 2006 speech to the UN. This made me curious as to what exactly it was he said back in 2006. A quick little jaunt over to NATOpedia got me some choice quotes:

"The devil came here yesterday, and it smells of sulfur still today, this table that I am now standing in front of."

followed by

"Yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, from this rostrum, the President of the United States, the gentleman to whom I refer as the devil, came here, talking as if he owned the world."

and

Chávez also said that President Bush "...came [to the General Assembly] to share his nostrums to try to preserve the current pattern of domination, exploitation and pillage of the peoples of the world."

Bars, no lies detected, etc. Certainly not "batshit." And of course Borowitz picked this example comparing Trump to Chavez while Trump is currently in the process of trying to manufacture a Gulf of Tonkin style incident with Venezuela.
