(The Borowitz Report)—Calling it an “amazingaccomplishment,” Donald J. Trump said on Monday that he believes that he is the“clear favorite” to win this year’s Nobel Prize in Medicine. Trump said that he was a “lock”to win the Nobel because of his pioneering work in prescribing the drughydroxychloroquine. “I’ve been talking abouthydroxychloroquine so much that a lot of people think I invented it,” Trumpsaid. “You have to give the Nobel to someone who invents a major drug likethat.” He dismissed any claim that hislack of medical credentials disqualifies him from winning the Nobel Prize inMedicine. “Just the opposite,” he said. “The fact that I’m not a doctor makes my ability to prescribe drugs that much more impressive. Trump said that he hoped theNobel committee would be a “hell of a lot more fair” about giving out the Nobelin Medicine than they were in bestowing the Nobel Peace Prize. “I did peace, I did peacegreat, and I didn’t get the Peace Prize,” Trump said. “If I don’t get theMedicine Prize, then the whole Nobel business is rigged.” He revealed that his medicaldiscoveries had “blown away” the doctors on the White House Coronavirus TaskForce. “When I tell Tony Fauci some ofthe stuff I’ve come up with, he just shakes his head,” Trump said.
