Well, how could I do that? He might as<br \/>\nwell have asked me to refudiate white hoods and robes. I mean, those are my<br \/>\nsupporters. (They love me.) The Proud Boys are pissed because I told them to<br \/>\nstand by. Still, they sent me a bouquet. Well, not so much a bouquet as a<br \/>\nflower box with an arrangement of dead rats, but it&#8217;s the thought that counts.<br \/>\nThere&#8217;s good on both sides. Especially theirs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">I got a little nervous about the tax issue, but deflect,<br \/>\ndeflect, deflect is my motto.

Really. I lied so much my pants<br \/>\nare singed\u2014and they are supposed to be fireproof. Fortunately the doody in my<br \/>\ndiaper protected my butt. This was not how I wanted to cover my ass\u2014for that I<br \/>\nusually rely on the Attorney General\u2014but when you\u2019re on the debate stage and<br \/>\nyou have to go, the last thing you want to do is leak. So you go in a diaper. I<br \/>\nuse the executive version with gold trim. I think they\u2019re very presidential. I<br \/>\nasked Melania, \u201cDo these gold-trimmed diapers make me look presidential?\u201d She<br \/>\ndidn\u2019t say much, just, \u201cDepends.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">Thanks to the Adderall I was so energetic I could have gone<br \/>\nfor another couple of hours. (The hairspray was just a quick high.) Don Lemon,<br \/>\nthe little weasel on CNN, called me \u201chopped up.\u201d And the girls on MSNBC laughed<br \/>\nat me. I\u2019d arrest Rachel Maddow but I\u2019m afraid of her.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">Joe really pissed me off. He told me to shut up. Me, the<br \/>\nemperor, er, president! I told Joe he had a working-class education. If he\u2019d<br \/>\nhad someone take his SATs for him like I did, he could have gotten into Penn.<br \/>\nIt doesn\u2019t cost anything. I mean, I never saw a bill the entire time I was<br \/>\nthere. You know what else I hate about Joe? He\u2019s slim and looks good in a suit.<br \/>\nAnd since he doesn\u2019t wear a long tie, I\u2019m assuming he\u2019s comfortable with<br \/>\nwhat\u2019s, you know, behind the tie down there. Jill seems to like him. Excuse me:<br \/>\nDR. Jill. Talk about flaunting a degree. My wife and daughter wife got their degrees<br \/>\nin larger breasts, but do they flaunt them? OK, never mind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">When the debate was over the Cleveland Clinic tried to<br \/>\ndetain me citing mental issues. They said I have a \u201ctenuous grasp of the<br \/>\ntruth.\u201d That\u2019s a lie. I grasp everything I can get my hands on: pussy, money,<br \/>\nIvanka. Billy Barr made them release me. He said he would detain them. The<br \/>\nchief doctor laughed. She said, \u201cDetain what? We\u2019re already here.\u201d What a<br \/>\nbitch!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">Anyway, back to me. I was so bold last night I thought for<br \/>\nsure that Melania would (finally) sleep with me again. But by the time I got<br \/>\nhome, removed my makeup, netted up my hair, and put on a clean presidential<br \/>\ndiaper, she was in her room with the door locked. Does she really need a secret<br \/>\nservice guy to stand guard outside that door all night?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">I haven\u2019t heard a word from Putie since the debate.

I have been called Twitler and now Shitler. And Michael Keaton, the worst<br \/>\nBatman ever, said I didn\u2019t have a plan. He says it like it\u2019s an insult. Well,<br \/>\nit works for me. That\u2019s how I run the country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">Stormy said the debate was the worst thing she\u2019d ever<br \/>\nexperienced since the time we did it. On Facebook I saw that someone covered my<br \/>\nside of the TV with a towel. And it wasn\u2019t even a towel from a Trump Hotel,<br \/>\nwhich are the best towels. (Plush. Very plush.) I was bold, brilliant, and<br \/>\nbeautiful. When I asked Ivanka about my performance, she just said, \u201cOh Daddy.\u201d<br \/>\n(She\u2019d be dating me if I weren\u2019t her father. ) Melania said I was a bully, so I<br \/>\nremoved her batteries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">And my hair looked the best ever. Completely natural.<br \/>\nEveryone said so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">I want to say this: Joe started it. He\u2019s the bully. He<br \/>\nlaughed at me. Did he call me stupid? I thought I heard him say that. He<br \/>\ndefinitely called me a clown. He tried to make me feel small. Well, there is<br \/>\nnothing small about me. I have the largest hands and the largest penis, as well<br \/>\nas the biggest brain. Also, the largest diapers. They are trimmed in 24-carat presidential<br \/>\ngold, just like the faucets in Trump Tower. I wish I was back there right now<br \/>\nlooking down on everyone instead of sitting on a regular porcelain toilet here<br \/>\nin the White House. But my base loves me. And I\u2019m not talking about the ones I<br \/>\npay to stand behind me with signs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">I read on social media that people want a kill switch for<br \/>\nthe mic so that I can\u2019t interrupt. Others want a kill switch, period. That is<br \/>\njust mean. You\u2019d think I was tear gassing people. Or putting them in cages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">But I have some loyal fans, this I will tell you. The Proud<br \/>\nBoys are standing by with a selection of badges, t-shirts, and mugs. And David<br \/>\nDuke sent me a gold-plated hood. He knows how much I love the hoods. And, of<br \/>\ncourse, the gold.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">But I haven\u2019t heard a word from Putie since my brilliant<br \/>\nperformance. What does polonium taste like? I\u2019m going to have Tiffany test my<br \/>\nfood before I eat it. Melania suggested I just prepare my own meals.

I mean, I wouldn\u2019t live in an apartment like that if you paid me,<br \/>\nbut I liked that they were all white and that I was with my dad.

I have no nerve endings on my<br \/>\nscalp. In fact, I have no nerve endings anywhere.

But I must admit I have an insatiable craving for corndogs. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>5.\u00a0\u00a0 I have a wonderful bear collection.<br \/>\nBig, furry bears. Pierced bears. Bearded bears. Nothing gives me more pleasure<br \/>\nthat dressing them in tank tops and bikini bottoms\u2014and then undressing them.<br \/>\nOoh, I love to hug them when they\u2019re undressed. Mother once walked in on me<br \/>\nwhen I was rubbing one up against me. \u201cOh, sure,\u201d she said, \u201cyou\u2019ll do that<br \/>\nwith a bear but not me.\u201d She was so mad that she took a strap to my bottom. Oh,<br \/>\nmy, I was a naughty boy. I have made a point of being so naughty with the bears<br \/>\nthat Mother puts the strap to me several time a week. <\/p>\n<p>6.\u00a0\u00a0 Mother once asked, \u201cMr. Pence, is<br \/>\nthere anything I can do to make you find me more attractive?\u201d I thought about<br \/>\nit and asked her to not shave her legs. We already wear hairshirts, so she\u2019s<br \/>\nalmost like my very own bear. Well, except for the missing extra bit. But the<br \/>\nConversion Therapy says I don\u2019t need it. Besides, I recently discovered that I<br \/>\nhave an extra bit of my own.<\/p>\n<p>7.\u00a0\u00a0 Mother and I have three children.

Mayday!<\/p>\n<p>I was born Cruella Prince on January 8, 1958, in Holland, Michigan, the oldest<br \/>\nof four children. My father was a billionaire industrialist, so of course I<br \/>\nattended private schools. I grew up with absolutely no understanding of middle-class<br \/>\nlife and thought that poor people existed just in Dickens novels. Who knew? (Poverty<br \/>\nis so unseemly.)The only sibling I truly admire is my brother, Erik. He founded<br \/>\nBlackwater, which he calls a \u201cprivate security agency.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;\"><br \/>\nI married Richard Devos Jr, son of the Amway founder, in 1979, the year I<br \/>\ngraduated from college. We have been good republicans, donating to many<br \/>\nright-wing causes and supporting the idea of using public money to fund private<br \/>\nschools, especially those focused on a christian education.\u00a0 Believe it or not, we founded a group in 2003<br \/>\ncalled All Children Matter (but of course, we believe wealthy white christian<br \/>\nchildren matter more than the others).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Between the Amway money, our exclusionary philanthropy, and Eric\u2019s mercenary<br \/>\nkilling, we are a trifecta of republican perfection. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">In the 2016 primaries I donated to Jeb Bush and Carly<br \/>\nFiorina before throwing my financial support to Marco Rubio. To be honest (and<br \/>\nI\u2019m not always), I supported Fiorina so that people would see that we were not<br \/>\nthe same person. In the public perception, skinny uptight republican ladies<br \/>\nseem to be interchangeable, but it has not helped my cause that Fiorina hasn\u2019t<br \/>\nbeen seen since I became Education Secretary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">President Trump doesn\u2019t know this, but I called him \u201can interloper<br \/>\n. . . \u00a0who does not represent the<br \/>\nRepublican party.\u201d (It\u2019s in Wikipedia. Look it up.) \u00a0Nevertheless he nominated me to be Education<br \/>\nSecretary in 2017. Perhaps he thought I was Carly Fiorina. It was the narrowest<br \/>\nof margins, 50\/50, with Mike Pence stepping in to break the tie in my favor.<br \/>\nHe\u2019s an odd duck, that Pence\u2014I can\u2019t read his face at all\u2014but he voted me in,<br \/>\nand that\u2019s all I care about.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">As soon as I got the job I cut the education budget and eliminated many civil<br \/>\nright protections. Handicapped children don\u2019t need to go to school; everyone<br \/>\nknows that. I also believe that if homosexual students insist on getting an<br \/>\neducation, they should not be protected from harassment. Bullies weed out the<br \/>\nweaklings. That\u2019s what Jesus says in the bible. But did you know I am a big supporter<br \/>\nof HBCUs? Who wouldn\u2019t be? They help keep the black students out of white<br \/>\ncolleges. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Now that we\u2019re in a pandemic, which our president has handled so deftly, I have<br \/>\nbeen pushing to open the schools anyway. In fact, I have redirected millions of<br \/>\ntaxpayer dollars to private and religious schools. Sure, that money was intended<br \/>\nfor the public domain, but my christian duty is to keep wealthy christian<br \/>\nchildren safe (especially the white ones).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">Mayday!

She did say they were going to be hard, but she\u2019s a woman so I didn\u2019t<br \/>\nthink they would be. She started off with the pandemic (which I ended), and<br \/>\nthen suburban women (who love me), and then unemployment (everyone is working),<br \/>\nthen preexisting conditions (no problem under my non-existent plan). Every time<br \/>\nI answered she said, \u201cThat\u2019s not true, Mr. President.\u201d \u00a0I may not tell the truth, but no one calls<br \/>\nDonald J.

And he\u2019s<br \/>\nnot even running for president. He said if, \u201cIf the President can\u2019t stand up to<br \/>\n60 minutes of questioning, how can he stand up to four more years in the White<br \/>\nHouse?\u201d and \u201cHow can he stand up to the dictators who would tear this country<br \/>\ndown?\u201d \u00a0Well, I don\u2019t stand up to<br \/>\ndictators. I write them love letters and sometimes give them classified<br \/>\ninformation. Otherwise Putie would poison me and my whole family. OK, so I only<br \/>\ncare about Ivanka, but there would be a lot of dead bodies, that I can tell<br \/>\nyou.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">Obama kept mocking me, just like at that correspondent\u2019s<br \/>\ndinner when he made me a laughingstock and I wanted to crawl under the table,<br \/>\nexcept I was too big to fit under it. And he doesn\u2019t slur or lie, the way I do.<br \/>\nHe has never called me a name, unlike what Donald Jr. does behind my back or Mrs.<br \/>\nRobot does to my face. He just uses my own words against me. What kind of<br \/>\nsadist does that? Lock him up! And Alec Baldwin, too. (I am much better looking<br \/>\nthan both of them.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>And then everyone made fun of me for dancing on stage to <i>YMCA. <\/i>Not my supporters,<br \/>\nof course, but the Democrats. And the fake media, which described my moves as<br \/>\nan \u201cawkward Dad dance.\u201d SNL, that Antifa show, mocked me. Yes, I was a host on<br \/>\nit once. That was a mistake. Huge mistake, that I can tell you. Also, the<br \/>\nVillage People issued a cease and desist on using their music. Hope says to<br \/>\nignore them because I am a Macho Man. (Was she mocking me? I think she was<br \/>\nmocking me.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;\"><br \/>\nThere\u2019s more. I left thousands of people stranded in the freezing cold after my<br \/>\nrally in Omaha. My enemies are calling it the Trump Death Tour. We hired buses to<br \/>\nbring them to the airfield outside of town where I was set up to speak, but<br \/>\nthen the buses didn\u2019t show up when it was over. (Maybe because no one was there<br \/>\nto pay them, as they were promised? I don\u2019t know. It\u2019s not my fault.) Good<br \/>\nthing I had Air Force One to get me out of there. Those MAGA hats don\u2019t keep<br \/>\nyou warm, that I can tell you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t care that all those people were left in the middle of nowhere for three<br \/>\nhours\u2014 in the dark, by the way\u2014but Hope says it did not reflect well on me. \u201cBad<br \/>\noptics,\u201d is what she said. (Who does she work for, LensCrafters or me?)\u00a0 We should have had the buses wait while I<br \/>\nrallied. A company official said it was because none of my supporters were<br \/>\nwearing masks and they were singing <i>YMCA<\/i> at the top of their lungs on the way<br \/>\nover, spewing Covid everywhere. And no one from the campaign showed up to pay<br \/>\nthem as promised, so the drivers decided to leave. That bus company is never<br \/>\ngetting paid now. Not that we actually planned to pay them. Dozens of old<br \/>\npeople ended up in the hospital. If they die, I just hope it\u2019s not until after<br \/>\nthey vote for me. The Omaha Police Department sent me a bill for overtime. They<br \/>\ncan line up behind the bus company. <\/p>\n<p>But there is one bright spot. Crowds of Trump supporters with automatic weapons<br \/>\nare showing up at early voting places to oversee the election process. They are<br \/>\ntremendous, those militias. Tremendous. The jeers! The threats! This is<br \/>\nDemocracy in action, using their Second Amendment right to exercise their First<br \/>\nAmendment right. I\u2019m quoting Hope on that.

No, not me. It was a bird named Corn. <br \/>Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett called to ask me to be clear that Corn,the turkey, had absolutely no connection to her husband, the Colonel, nor to Father Cob and Mother Maize, the leaders of her religious group, Children of the Corn. \u201cI can\u2019t be too careful now, what with those heathen Democrats mocking me at every turn,\u201d she said, speaking from the grain-filled silo that serves as the international headquarters of her sect. \u201cThe jokes and bad puns are a grind,\u201d she said, her voice cracking. \u201cI\u2019m about to pop.\u201d<br \/>Melania weighed in, too. Perhaps because she was procrastinating on her Christmas duties, she spent a few hours on Google researching the tradition of the President pardoning a Thanksgiving bird. I caught her laughing, something she doesn\u2019t do too often because it stretches the tight skin on her face.<br \/>\u201cA lame duck pardoning a turkey.

I haven\u2019t made America great yet, but I will.<br \/>So on Joe\u2019s Inauguration Day, after the Secret Service drags me out of the Oval Office, I will hold a rally for my candidacy for the 2024 election. I will be a tremendous president, even if I have to reign from jail. (New York State is not going to let this go, that I can tell you.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"color: #050505; white-space: pre-wrap;\">I am thinking of having Ivanka as my Vice President. I\u2019ll be divorced by then, and if Jared gets convicted of treason, Ivanka will be free to marry me. My daughter would become my VP and my wife. Barron\u2019s half cousins would then become his step brothers and sisters, and his half sister would then become his stepmother. Confusing? Not to my base. They\u2019re all married to one another. (I think that\u2019s why they liked Rudy so much, even if he is eye-talian, because his first marriage was to his cousin.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"color: #050505; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Melania will continue to live in Virginia with her father, who looks like me. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"color: #050505; white-space: pre-wrap;\">I know Don Jr. would like to run for President, so it\u2019s possible that we will be running against each other in the 2024 primary. If Joe decides not to run for a second term (Too old! Too old!) our Democratic opponent in the Primary could be California Governor Gavin Newsom, who used to be married to Kimberly Guilfoyle, Junior\u2019s girlfriend, possibly second wife by then. That would make her a former First Lady and potential First Lady. (And she\u2019s no lady, believe me.) <\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"color: #050505; white-space: pre-wrap;\">On her way out the door, Melania said that with the family ties, and the crime, our family saga would make a good movie. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"color: #050505; white-space: pre-wrap;\"><span face=\"Arial, sans-serif\">No, it would make a GREAT movie. A TREMENDOUS movie. Maybe even win an Oscar. (And if it doesn\u2019t, I will demand recounts and charge fraud.) I will ask Francis Ford Coppola to direct. He knows his epic family dramas, that I can tell you.<br \/>It could open with my grandfather, Friedrich Drumpf, a handsome young man who emigrated to America in 1885. History will tell you that he left to avoid serving in the German Army, but really he came to seek his fortune in America. He headed west for the gold rush and worked as a pimp for a brothel in Alaska. (And you wonder where my obsession with gold and women comes from). On a trip home he met my great grandmother, Elizabeth Crist, and brought her here. But she was homesick so they went back to Germany\u2014except that the Germans didn\u2019t want him. They called him a draft dodger and gave him 48 hours to leave and never come back. (Which neatly explains both my attraction to immigrant women and my hatred for immigrants.) After Friedrich died, Elizabeth bankrolled my dad, Fred, in a small real estate business. Sound familiar? (The themes! Coppola will love it!)<br \/>So although I don\u2019t have much to do with Melania now that I\u2019ve lost, er, not won, I will give her the last work on this one: \u201cDonald, tell Coppola I have great title for movie.

We are about to be evicted <\/span><span style=\"text-align: left;\">from the White House, and now our Mar-a-Lago neighbors are telling us we can\u2019t <\/span><span style=\"text-align: left;\">live there. We can visit, but we can\u2019t actually move in (even though I already <\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #050505;\">have a private residence there which they don\u2019t know about).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">First the city of Palm Beach told me I have to remove the helipad by the time I leave office, since it will no longer be used for presidential business, and now this. Yes, I signed an agreement with Palm Beach sometime in the 1990s that gave me the right to turn Mar-a-Lago from a personal residence to a private club, as long as it would never be my personal residence again. But that was a long time ago, and I shouldn\u2019t have to be held to it now. And in order to get my way on something\u2014I forget what\u2014 I signed over development rights to the National Trust for Historic Preservation (I must have been high on Adderall when I did that), so now it\u2019s National Historic Landmark that cannot be altered. I\u2019m feeling a little fucked.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Mar-a-Lago is a nice little cottage. That\u2019s what they call the big estates down here. Can you believe I bought it for $7 million from the family that owns Post Raisin Bran, Shredded Wheat, and Honey Bunches of Oats ? Never mind, you probably had borscht for breakfast when you were a kid, so those cereals mean nothing to you. But this is interesting: Did you know that Mar-a-Lago is Spanish for The-Rules-Don\u2019t-Apply-To-Me?<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Anyway, we want to live there <i>and<\/i> have it be a club <i>and<\/i> keep<br \/>\nour helipad <i>and<\/i> continue to clog up traffic with our limos. We also want to<br \/>\nbuild a dock since we\u2019ll be there full time. The neighbors are saying no, no,<br \/>\nno\u2014bigly. I mean tremendously bigly. They are filing lawsuits, and their<br \/>\nlawyers actually seem to know what they are doing, plus none of them are<br \/>\nfarting or dripping. It would be really embarrassing if the Palm Beach police<br \/>\nhad to come in and physically remove us, the way the Secret Service is going to<br \/>\nhave to do at the White House.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">I know you\u2019re going to ask me why we don\u2019t just live in Trump Tower. New Yorkers hate me and my family, that\u2019s why. (Have you seen the \u201cIvanka Not Wanted\u201d posters up all over Manhattan? I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve got them on your surveillance.) And they boo me whenever I\u2019m there. I mean, people stand in front of Trump Tower holding giant signs saying nasty things about me. Damn that freedom of speech! One guy shows up regularly with a poster of a giant turd with a little yellow hairdo on top and flies buzzing all around it. That\u2019s supposed to be me. I do not have flies, that I can tell you. (The hair looks good, though.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">There\u2019s also the matter of the 67 indictments that will be<br \/>\nunsealed on January 20. The New York Attorney General wants to bring me to<br \/>\ntrial and find me guilty and put me in jail, that I can tell you. So even if jail<br \/>\nsolves the problem of where I will live for the next few years, I still need a<br \/>\nplace for all my gilded stuff plus Mrs. Robot and the boy\u2014and maybe my other<br \/>\nkids and their families in case New York State goes after them. And people say<br \/>\nI\u2019m not a family man. (Eric and Tiffany don\u2019t have to come.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I\u2019m guessing we\u2019ll need about 90,000 square feet in the<br \/>\nKremlin. Melania said that\u2019s 8361 square meters, which doesn\u2019t sound like much,<br \/>\nso maybe a little more. What\u2019s a few more square meters between best friends,<br \/>\nright Vladie? Melania also says to tell you she has the perfect trees to<br \/>\ndecorate Red Square.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">We can talk about a dacha when I get there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Your very best friend,<br \/>\nDonald<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">P.S.

I\u2019m<br \/>\njust not sure where to go. Can I sleep in my golf cart?<\/p>\n<p>First, about the cyber spying. I know Russia did it. Even the Republicans are<br \/>\ncalling it a national defense failure and pointing a finger at Putin. But if I blame Putie, he\u2019ll slip me a<br \/>\npolonium cocktail when I least expect it. You know what they say: It\u2019s not<br \/>\nparanoia if they\u2019re really after you. Even Svetlana, I mean Melania, mocked me<br \/>\nfor being so fixated on keeping immigrants out at the Southern border that I<br \/>\nlet an entire country in through cyberspace. And to think Putie was holding the<br \/>\nPee tapes over me. That\u2019s nothing compared to the shit I\u2019m in now. <\/p>\n<p>Then some reporter found out about my plan to get everyone infected with Covid.<br \/>\nI believe in herd\u00a0 mentality\u2014I mean<br \/>\nimmunity\u2014even if the real scientists don\u2019t. So what if my top guy at the CDC used<br \/>\nto run the ferris wheel at a traveling carnival. In a suit he looks like a<br \/>\ndoctor. And I believe my &#8220;doctors.&#8221; They tell me what I want to hear.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\nAnd then Pfizer told the fake news press that it has tons of vaccine\u2014millions<br \/>\nof doses\u2014but no one in my administration has told them where to put it.

This year, as I<br \/>\nprepare for my departure from the White House due to my un-win, I have four<br \/>\nyears to reflect on. Oh, I have achieved a tremendous amount, that I can tell<br \/>\nyou.<\/p>\n<p>I drained the swamp. That was huge. Huge! Then I filled it with<br \/>\nextraterrestrial creatures. No other president has ever done that, believe me.<br \/>\nI made many excellent extraterrestrial picks. These are some of the best: Steve<br \/>\nMnuchin comes from a planet whose people have no faces or vowels. I gave him a<br \/>\nmask to make him look human and added some vowels to his name. He says he\u2019s<br \/>\nstill getting used to both. Cruella Devos comes from a planet of Lizard People<br \/>\nwho have no education, compassion, or eyebrows. She maintains the traditions of<br \/>\nher home planet. Wilbur Ross was traded for a can of Campbell\u2019s soup by his<br \/>\npeople, a race of ancient dinosaur-like creatures who travel the galaxy in<br \/>\nsearch of groceries. Mike Pompeo and Billy Barr came here from a gaseous<br \/>\nanomaly far out in space.<\/p>\n<p>Since I believe in equal rights, I made sure to include subterranean creatures<br \/>\nas well. Brett Kavanaugh and Nikki Haley are the only two willing to go on<br \/>\nrecord as having hatched from locusts, but I can tell you that there are others<br \/>\nquite at home in the swamp. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue began life under<br \/>\na pile of cow manure. I can\u2019t take credit for Mitch McConnell, however I can<br \/>\ntell you that he is descended from a family of radioactive turtles. And I know<br \/>\nfor a fact that Jeff Sessions lives in the trunk of a tree. He says he\u2019s from a<br \/>\nmarsh, not a swamp, but that\u2019s just splitting hairs. (Not that I know anything<br \/>\nabout splitting hairs. I\u2019m more into weaving and gluing.)<\/p>\n<p>People say my administration is not diverse, but in addition to the<br \/>\nextraterrestrials and the subterraneans, I have also given time to the nearly<br \/>\ndead and the undead. Ben Carson\u2019s life signs are so low that doctors can\u2019t tell<br \/>\nif he\u2019s still alive or has crossed over. Nice guy, though. Quiet. In the undead<br \/>\ncategory is my son in law, Jared. He claims he\u2019s not undead, just slender and<br \/>\ndevoid of facial hair, but Ivanka has confirmed otherwise. I asked her about<br \/>\nsex. I mean, I asked her if she had sex with Jared and she said no, that what<br \/>\nshe really gets off on is power. (That\u2019s my girl!) Since she\u2019s going to be<br \/>\nstuck in Florida\u2014New Yorkers have told her to stay away\u2014she\u2019s planning to run<br \/>\nfor Governor. Wait until that brownnose, Ron DeSanctimonius, finds out. He will<br \/>\nshit his pants. (Hey, Ron, I have a supply of Presidential Diapers that I can<br \/>\nlet you have at a discount. That&#8217;s as close to the presidency as you\u2019ll ever<br \/>\nget.)<\/p>\n<p>Also in the never-gonna-be-president category is that little rodent senator<br \/>\nfrom Missouri, Josh Hawley. He says he\u2019s going to object to the certification<br \/>\nof my Electoral College votes, but it\u2019s not me he cares about. He\u2019s just trying<br \/>\nto raise his profile. Just you wait, he\u2019s going to run for president in 2024.<br \/>\nOut of my way, Frat Boy.<\/p>\n<p>But I\u2019m diverting, or is it degreasing, from my achievements. In the vampire<br \/>\nand religion category, I made some very good choices. My personal attorney,<br \/>\nRudy Giuliani, is a top-of-the-line vampire. The best. Have you seen him ooze?<br \/>\nTremendously oozy, that I can tell you. Rudy claims he\u2019s not a vampire, but he<br \/>\nnaps upside down in a closet inside the Oval Office. He can sleep through<br \/>\nanything. Kayleigh McEnany found him one time and claims she fell in love with<br \/>\nhim on the spot. They\u2019re now an item. She\u2019s a little rat, so I guess it will be<br \/>\na mixed marriage. She\u2019ll be Rudy\u2019s fourth wife, if you include the first<br \/>\nmarriage to his cousin, which was annulled after 14 years. (Those Catholics,<br \/>\nyou\u2019ve got to hand it to them. They know how to pretend stuff never happened.)<\/p>\n<p>Stephen Miller is my other vampire, although he prefers the term \u201csatanic<br \/>\nintercessor.\u201d He\u2019s the one who convinced me to put those kids in cages, but now<br \/>\nthat he\u2019s got a kid of his own, he\u2019s had a change of heart. Just kidding. He<br \/>\nmakes his baby sleep in a toolbox.<\/p>\n<p>As for religion, Amy Coney Barrett was tops on my list for the Supreme Court. I<br \/>\ndidn\u2019t know her from Adam, or should I say Eve, but my advisers said she was<br \/>\nthe christian-est. She\u2019s from a sect that\u2019s even more christian than the Pope.<br \/>\nShe has a direct line to god. Mike Pence and Mother are very uncomfortable<br \/>\naround her because they feel they have the direct line to god. (I mean, Pence<br \/>\nactually gave up his penis for Jesus.) And my personal pastor\u2014what\u2019s her name,<br \/>\nI forget, the loud blond with the tight clothes\u2014says that she has the direct<br \/>\nline to god. With all those people calling, you\u2019d think they\u2019d all get busy<br \/>\nsignals.<\/p>\n<p>I have many, many more achievements, believe me, but my chicken is getting<br \/>\ncold.<\/p>\n<p>BTW, I said I was preparing for my departure from the White House. I lied. Just<br \/>\nas soon as I finish this bucket of chicken I am going to Super Glue myself to a<br \/>\nwall in the Oval Office. That\u2019s Vladie\u2019s idea.

I don\u2019t know where<br \/>\nthat expression comes from, because I saw a lot of 10s. \u00a0All the men looked handsome in tuxes accompanied<br \/>\nby their young wives with blond hair, cleavage, and see-through dresses slit up<br \/>\nto there. I can\u2019t wait to have a trophy wife of my own, but Dad says I\u2019m not<br \/>\nold enough yet. (Also, Lara would kill me.)<\/p>\n<p>My bro, Don Jr., was there with his girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle. I\u2019m no<br \/>\nmakeup expert, but if she wears any more eye makeup, gravity being what it is, she\u2019s<br \/>\ngoing to fall forward right on her face.

As usual, the men all chowed down and the women<br \/>\njust looked at the food. There was one brave woman with a plate holding three<br \/>\ntortellini. \u00a0I overheard her telling a<br \/>\nfriend, \u201cI am going to have to work out for 16 hours tomorrow to make up for this.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">There was not a mask in sight because.

I&#8217;m not sure why they called my comments &#8220;inflammatory,&#8221; because that&#8217;s what happens when my STDs flare up, and voter fraud has nothing to do with herpes, that I can tell you.<\/p>\n<p>Then YouTub\u00a0 pulled one of my videos down, the one where I said<br \/>\nI won by a landslide. Well, I did, but You Tub says I didn\u2019t. They\u2019re not the<br \/>\nboss of me. Oh, did I say \u201cYouTub\u201d? I\u2019m sorry, I meant YouTube.\u00a0 (\u201cYou<br \/>\nTub\u201d is what Melania calls me.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Anyway it was not a good day.<\/p>\n<p>Then I heard that the Republicans lost the Senate.

The whole party cheated me.<br \/>\nExcept for Ted Cruz, and who cares about him. His father<br \/>\nkilled JFK, and his wife is ugly. So losing serves them right. They did not<br \/>\nsupport me the way they should have. Even Mitch McConnell and Miss Lindsey<br \/>\nGraham, the Laurel and Hardy of the Senate, both said Joe is the rightful<br \/>\npresident! I am so pissed off that I\u2019ve been going through my Presidential<br \/>\nDiapers like dyarea on speed. I know I didn\u2019t spell diareeha right, but I just<br \/>\ndon\u2019t give a shit.

Fake news! Fake news!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">People are now calling for me to be removed from office. Yeah,<br \/>\nright. I was impeached and nothing happened. I\u2019m not worried. You have to be<br \/>\nmentally ill to be removed. Besides in two weeks, the Secret Service will hit<br \/>\nme with a tranquilizer dart and carry me out anyway. Then I can become a<br \/>\nfull-time comic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">OK, I\u2019m going to<br \/>\nrehearse my act now. What do you think of this one: A guy walks into a bar.

My arms are tired from golfing, not from flying, because I fly on Air<br \/>\nForce One. I love sophisticated comedy. <\/p>\n<p>OK, one more: I\u2019m going to market a breakfast cereal just for racist white<br \/>\npeople. I\u2019m calling it Special KKK. <\/p>\n<p>Wow, I am on fire! And I don\u2019t mean my pants. The Adderall is really kicking in<br \/>\nnow. I love this feeling.

The \u201cofficial\u201d word is that is was not a party but a<br \/>\ngathering to monitor the event and then to pray over the loss of life, but<br \/>\nbetween you and I, it was to cheer on the insurrection. Death to Democracy!<br \/>\n(Vladie said he\u2019s going to teach me to say that in Russian.)\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">That will teach the Republican Party to lose my winning<br \/>\nvotes.

Even I know those people are losers&#8211;low class, very low class,<br \/>\nbelieve me&#8211;but they\u2019re useful to me, so I said what I had to say. I told them<br \/>\nI loved them and that they were special. (That Viking, he\u2019s really special. I<br \/>\nheard he recently learned to tie his shoes.)\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Junior asked me to tell him that I loved him and that he was<br \/>\nspecial.

He doesn\u2019t know this, but when the Feds come<br \/>\nafter me for this, I am throwing him under the bus.

Fight!\u201d she yelled into Junior\u2019s iPhoneas he was<br \/>\nrecording, but then she went back to dancing. You can\u2019t really fight in high<br \/>\nheels.

Everyone got quiet after that. But then I said, \u201cDon\u2019t worry. I\u2019ll<br \/>\npardon them.\u201d We went back to cheering on our patriots to the sound of<br \/>\nbattering rams and glass breaking.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">People are saying that I should personally pay for the<br \/>\ndestruction, but I pay for nothing.

Besides, I<br \/>\ncan use Mike Pence as a human shield, even if he\u2019s not quite human.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of not quite human, I just found out that Melania has been moving our<br \/>\nstuff out of the White House for the past few weeks.

Big closets for clothes and thigh-high boots. You<br \/>\nwill like. There is glam room for daily hair and makeup and next to it a gym<br \/>\nwith Pilates. Trainer can come and you can have sex with him and President will<br \/>\nnot know.<\/p>\n<p>In President bedroom there is supply of gold-trimmed Presidential diapers in<br \/>\ncase Joe need. You may want to replace the toilet in his bedroom, because Donald<br \/>\nfat ass have sat on it for many hours of Presidency. Mattress, too. He eat in<br \/>\nbed and everything greasy from fried chicken.<\/p>\n<p>Some suggestions:<br \/>. Do not use Michelle Obama speeches<br \/>. Be careful what your clothes say. It is true I did not<br \/>\ncare, but I should not have put it on jacket<br \/>.The higher your heels, the more they sink into White House Lawn<br \/>. Blood-red Christmas trees are in White House basement<br \/>. Donald have hidden his dirty diapers all over bedroom and Oval Office. He call<br \/>\nthem \u201ceaster eggs.\u201d Staff have found most of them, but make sure Joe know <br \/>.

Be Best<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Melania\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">. . . . .<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">January 20<br \/><b>OFF TO FLORIDA<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Well, I held on for as long as I could\u2014longer than I thought possible thanks to<br \/>\nmy Q-Tip friends who threatened to kill Senators who opposed me. But now that<br \/>\nmy furniture has arrived in Florida and whatshisname has taken the oath of<br \/>\noffice, I am officially no longer President.<\/p>\n<p>In my mind I will always be President\u2014aka Mr. President, aka King Donald, aka<br \/>\nEmperor of the Confederacy. I might still be Emperor of the Confederacy if my<br \/>\nconstituents keep supporting me. I am thinking of starting my own party, the<br \/>\nPatriot Party. I would run for President again. It would be tremendous, that I<br \/>\ncan tell you.<\/p>\n<p>We might even be able to make our own state. If Washington, D.C. can be considered<br \/>\nfor statehood, then the Patriot Party should have its own state, too. Junior<br \/>\nsays we should call it Siege, but I\u2019m leaning toward something classier, like<br \/>\nThe Commonwealth of Trumpland. We\u2019d carve it out of Texas. If I promise Ted Cruz<br \/>\na lifetime Senate seat from Trumpland, I think I can get him to\u00a0 support me on it. The only problem is that my<br \/>\nconfederate followers are so low class they make me look bad. Ivanka hates them.<br \/>\nShe has been trying her whole life to look smart and upper class and then they<br \/>\ncome along with their body paint, spears, and horns and\u2014in her words\u2014\u201ctaint\u201d the<br \/>\nfamily name. (I wonder why the smart people are not part of my base.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\nI had hoped for a big military sendoff\u2014a tremendously big one with marching<br \/>\nbands and tanks and a flyover with thousands of jets trailing streams of red,<br \/>\nwhite and blue, plus big-breasted blonds on a float showing cleavage, lots of<br \/>\ncleavage\u2014but the Pentagon said no. If I were still President I would fire all<br \/>\nof them, that I can tell you. I think it was the insurrection that changed<br \/>\ntheir mind. Jeez, a few killings and some smash-and-grabs and they shut me<br \/>\ndown. That is not fair!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">So I did the next best thing: I had my own sendoff. I<br \/>\ninvited everyone I ever hired, fired, cheated, bilked, or screwed, and I asked<br \/>\nthem to each bring five friends. Some of them, like Cruz and Steven Miller, don\u2019t<br \/>\nhave any friends. I invited hundreds of service members to attend. Since I was<br \/>\nstill the President at that point, it was an invitation they couldn\u2019t refuse.<br \/>\nIt was way better than Obama\u2019s departure, and I heard it was way better than<br \/>\nBiden\u2019s little inauguration. There were millions of people to see me off at<br \/>\n7:15 am in the below-freezing weather, maybe 10 million. They love me. I didn\u2019t<br \/>\nsee much press, though.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Then it was off to Florida.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll tell you one thing: I\u2019ll miss my place in Trump Tower. The gold, I love<br \/>\nthat gold! \u00a0And the views. But New<br \/>\nYorkers hate me. Also, I am not so keen on having to walk into Trump Tower every<br \/>\nday past some jerk holding a big sign with me as a turd. Lock him up! If I<br \/>\nweren\u2019t so great I would take it personally. There was a time I could have<br \/>\nkilled someone on Fifth Avenue and gotten away with it. The good old days. In<br \/>\nPalm Beach I don\u2019t think I could even kick someone and get away with it. The Palm<br \/>\nBeach watch group has its eyes on me. And they\u2019re Republicans!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">By the way, I made a tremendous splash with the Presidential<br \/>\nPardons. Tremendous, everyone says so. I pardoned 73 people and commuted the<br \/>\nsentences of 70 other. Steve Bannon was tops on my list. Yes, he is a festering<br \/>\nbag of pus\u2014just look at him&#8211;but he loves me. I also pardoned people who were<br \/>\nconvicted of health care fraud, bribery, wire fraud, tax fraud, securities<br \/>\nfraud, insider trading, wild-life trafficking, impeding grand jury<br \/>\ninvestigations, bank robbery, selling tainted beef, and conspiracy to murder\u2014all<br \/>\nthe best people!\u00a0 I pardoned Jared\u2019s best<br \/>\nfriend, who cyberstalked his wife during a divorce. Lil Wayne, the rapper, was<br \/>\non my list, too. He loves me. <\/p>\n<p>You know who I didn\u2019t pardon? The Organic Viking and his marauders. I know I<br \/>\ninvited them to Washington, but they embarrassed me with their actions. How<br \/>\ncould I have known that if I incited violence they would trash the Capitol? Not<br \/>\nmy fault. <\/p>\n<p>The pardons that will get me into heaven are the non-violent drug offenders who<br \/>\nare serving long sentences.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">What\u2019s next for us now, you ask?<\/p>\n<p>Melania will be divorcing me. I knew that was coming. It was written into the<br \/>\nrevised prenup. She has a new slogan: Best Be Gone. I\u2019m thinking of calling<br \/>\nStormy. She said I was the best sex she ever had. Oh, wait, that was Marla.<br \/>\nMaybe I\u2019ll try Tinder. How does it work? Do I write a profile?\u00a0 I will describe myself as \u201c50-something, a<br \/>\ngreat golfer with billionaire bod and bank account.\u201d And can I say that I\u2019m<br \/>\nlooking for a \u201c20-something supermodel type, blond with long legs and big<br \/>\nbreasts. English and green card a plus.\u201d I could reasonably accept a woman up<br \/>\nto 25, maybe 26 or 27 if she\u2019s really smokin. By the time she ages out I\u2019ll be<br \/>\ndead anyway. The women love me, that I can tell you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\nIvanka will have more plastic surgery. She feels the stress of four years as<br \/>\nPresident has aged her. And she has talked Jared into getting an implant that<br \/>\nmakes him appear more human. <\/p>\n<p>Junior say he wants to get as far away from D.C. as possible. He was looking<br \/>\nfor a place in Jupiter. That seems a bit extreme. The commute is seven years<br \/>\neach way. Oh, wait, Barron tells me that it\u2019s Jupiter, Florida, where Don wants<br \/>\nto live. That makes more sense.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">And what about that Barron? Smart just like his dad. Taller<br \/>\nthan me already, and I\u2019m six-five.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\nEric does whatever his wife tells him to do. Lara is a smart cookie, but not<br \/>\nsmart enough to find someone smarter than Eric. I don\u2019t know what they\u2019ll be<br \/>\ndoing. <\/p>\n<p>One thing I will tell you: Do not call me a retiree. I still have my businesses<br \/>\nto run into the ground. And I took on another job as well. I\u2019m excited about it<br \/>\nbigly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I am going to be Florida Man.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">. . . . .<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">February 7, 2021<br \/><b>WHAT A TURN OFF!<\/b>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I have been screaming at Fox News but no one there will take<br \/>\nmy calls. My Tweets aren\u2019t going through. Ivanka is not returning my texts.<br \/>\nAnd, of course, Melania gives me the side eye whenever I get within 20 feet of<br \/>\nher, which is not often, because she is living in the guest apartment with Barron<br \/>\nand someone she calls \u201cBarron\u2019s school chum.\u201d I think something is going on. This<br \/>\n\u201cfriend\u201d has a mustache and he and Melania seem very chummy if you ask me.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, it gets worse. When I called Vladie, he said, \u201cI\u2019m sorry I can\u2019t talk now.<br \/>\nI\u2019m going through tunnel,\u201d and then the call ended. The next time I called,<br \/>\nsomeone with a high-pitched voice said, \u201cVladie? I\u2019m sorry you have wrong<br \/>\nnumber.\u201d I tried Face Timing him, but the call wouldn\u2019t go through. I\u2019m beginning to think he&#8217;s two-timing me. We had the greatest bromance of all<br \/>\ntime, that I can tell you.<\/p>\n<p>I even called Joe Biden, because I figured he\u2019d take my call. I said, \u201cHey,<br \/>\nJoe, it\u2019s me, President Trump.\u201d He said, \u201cIs this a joke?\u201d I yelled at him so<br \/>\nthat he would know it was really me. He shouted, \u201cShut up, man,\u201d and then hung<br \/>\nup.<\/p>\n<p>When Kamala called back\u2014or maybe it was Jill, I couldn\u2019t tell\u2014I shit my diaper<br \/>\na little. Whoever it was, she said, \u201cIf you bother us again, I will take Air<br \/>\nForce One down to Mar-a-Lago and cut off your balls.\u201d\u00a0 But the joke\u2019s on her. Marla got my balls in<br \/>\nher divorce agreement.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Thank god Marjorie Taylor Greene loves me.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Sure she\u2019s got a horse face and I would never sleep with<br \/>\nher, but she\u2019s blond and she worships me. And she carries a gun. Get rid of<br \/>\nthat stupid elephant. She is the face of Trump\u2019s Republican Party. (She had me<br \/>\nwith Jewish Space Lasers, but I didn\u2019t have the nerve to say that. Ivanka would<br \/>\nhave killed me.)\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I had thought the face of the Trump Party would be the<br \/>\nViking\u2014I liked the visuals, so manly\u2014but then his mother demanded organic food<br \/>\nfor him in jail. What a wuss. I\u2019m glad I didn\u2019t pardon him. KFC is not good<br \/>\nenough for him?<\/p>\n<p>So here I am in my extra-large suit in my extra-large suite in Mar-a-Lago with<br \/>\nthe neighbors throwing pebbles at the window all hours of the day and night.<br \/>\nThey really don\u2019t want me here. I would resign from them in a minute, the way I<br \/>\ndid from the Screen Actor\u2019s Guild, but I need to live somewhere. People think I<br \/>\nused the Presidential seal on my letter to them, but I faked them out. My eagle<br \/>\nis holding arrows and swastikas. No olive branch for me, that I can tell you.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Mar-a-Lago has enough gold and crystal to make me feel at<br \/>\nhome, like at Trump Tower, even though the help speaks Spanish and the alligators<br \/>\non the golf course scare the crap out of me.<\/p>\n<p>There is one big problem, though. Since the election, members have been leaving<br \/>\nthe club. With fewer dues-paying members, money is getting tight. Florida Power<br \/>\nand Light said that if I don\u2019t pay the bill, the electricity will be shut off. Me,<br \/>\nthe most powerful man in the world, and I won\u2019t even be able to turn on the TV<br \/>\nto yell at Fox News.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">. . . . .<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">February 9, 2021<br \/><b>IVANKA&#8217;S BIG PLANS<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Well now that Daddy has been sent off with the full honors<br \/>\nbefitting a beloved President, it\u2019s time for the spotlight to shine on me. The<br \/>\nexperience I gained in the White House as Presidential Adviser has prepared me<br \/>\nto be the first woman president of the United States.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">If nominated in 2024, I will humbly accept.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">When I say \u201cif nominated,\u201d I mean that I will work tirelessy<br \/>\nto undermine every other potential Republican candidate in 2024. When I say<br \/>\n\u201chumbly,\u201d I mean that I believe this is my birthright, just as Queen Elizabeth<br \/>\ninherited the throne from King George VI. And when I say \u201caccept,\u201d I mean<br \/>\nexpect.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I know the RNC would like me to dip my Ivanka Trump \u2122 open-toed pumps slowly<br \/>\ninto the political waters, like running against Marco Rubio in Florida, my new home<br \/>\nstate, but I am a Trump. We jump in whole hog. (OK, probably bad use of the<br \/>\nlanguage. \u201cWhole hog\u201d would certainly refer to my almost-sister-in-law Kimberly.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">As President I will represent a number of firsts: First<br \/>\nWoman President, First Jewish President, First Presidential Daughter to Become<br \/>\nPresident, First Accessories Designer to become President, First Almost-Nude<br \/>\nModel to Become President, and First President with breast Implants. With these<br \/>\nachievements,\u00a0 I hope to serve as a role<br \/>\nmodel for all little white girls who aspire to greatness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Not only that, I will design my own inauguration wardrobe, which will be<br \/>\navailable on QVC at a fraction of the cost in much cheaper materials.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Jared will be my Vice President, and Daddy will be my Special Adviser to the<br \/>\nPresident. He is as qualified for the job as I am to be president. I would like<br \/>\nMarjorie Taylor Green to be my Chief of Staff. I know, she\u2019s uncouth, the<br \/>\ncomplete opposite of me, but she will make my staff do what I want. I mean, she<br \/>\ncarries a gun. And when the ultra-right-wing hordes come for me, she will<br \/>\nprotect me from them.(Just as long as I don\u2019t have to socialize with her.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">But I want to empower women, so my Cabinet will be full of the most talented women<br \/>\nI know. Jeannine Pirro will be a great Attorney General. She was a strong<br \/>\nsupporter of my father, and I\u2019m sure she will be of me, too. Maria Bartiromo<br \/>\nwill be Secretary of the Treasury, because no one knows more about money and<br \/>\nsoftballing the President in interviews. I will tap Liz Cheney as the Secretary<br \/>\nof Transportation, because she has plenty of experience being run out of town<br \/>\non a rail. (Daddy is not too happy about that choice.) \u00a0Cinde Hyde-Smith, that rabidly anti-abortion<br \/>\nSenator from Mississippi, will make a great Health and Human Services Secretary.\n<\/p>\n<p>I used to be a pro-choice Democrat, but since Daddy\u2019s presidency I have done a<br \/>\n180 and am now an unapologetically pro-life Republican. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span face=\"Arial, sans-serif\">Which reminds me, I will<br \/>\ninstitute a new Cabinet position: Office of Graciousness and Hypocricy. I\u2019m not<br \/>\nsure anyone can do the job as well as I, but since I\u2019ll be the president, I\u2019ll<br \/>\nappoint Susan Collins. I know, you\u2019re thinking she\u2019s a bit long in the tooth<br \/>\nfor the job, but she has a lifetime of experience. Well, not so much the<br \/>\ngraciousness, but she is the very model of hypocrisy, that I can tell you.<br \/>\n(Oops, I\u2019m channeling Daddy.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span face=\"Arial, sans-serif\">There will be other Cabinet positions to fill and I will look to Fox News to<br \/>\nfill them. Fox was a rich source of talent in Daddy\u2019s term as President, and I<br \/>\nexpect they will serve me well, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I have some campaign slogans: <br \/>. Make American Blonde Again<br \/>. Want to fly? Choose the Right Wing<br \/>. Don Jr suggested, \u201cWe put the POT in nepotism,\u201d but I eschew drugs. <br \/>. Eric suggested \u201cChew Drugs\u201d <br \/>. Lara, his wife, who is running for Senate from North Carolina and thinks<br \/>\nshe\u2019s the smartest Trump has suggested \u201cDaring, Unbeatable, a Mother, and<br \/>\nBold.\u201d I like it, even if I don\u2019t like her.

HAM\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Alexander Hamilton here. I have been spinning so fast in my<br \/>\ngrave that I actually unscrewed myself right out of the ground. Forgive me if I<br \/>\nlook a bit worse for wear. It has been a while since I\u2019ve seen the light of<br \/>\nday. I see that my clothing is hopelessly out of date. Your hooded garments,<br \/>\ndenim trousers, and soft-soled shoes, while not befitting a stateman, do<br \/>\nnonetheless appear quite comfortable. I am puzzled, however, by the Viking<br \/>\nattire, which predates me by some centuries.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\nI have been keenly \u00a0following the doings<br \/>\nof that bloviating sack of excrement who cheated his way into the Presidency<br \/>\nand then sought to do the same for a second term. I have trouble saying the<br \/>\nname of this Neanderthal, your 45<sup>th<\/sup> \u00a0\u201cPresident.\u201d \u00a0This single syllable does not roll off the<br \/>\ntongue, but rather lodges itself in the glottis, as if one were trying to cough<br \/>\nup a wad of phlegm.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The original family name is only slightly less difficult to<br \/>\npronounce, but I can write it. (I like these writing implements you have, with<br \/>\ntheir self-contained ink.) There was a Drumpf family from Bavaria, known to the<br \/>\ncolonists as cheaters and swindlers, who were turned away multiple times from<br \/>\nour shores. And yet one member of the family, a young man named Friedrich, made<br \/>\nit through in the early 1900s without papers and went on to become a pimp in<br \/>\nAlaska. (I may be dead, but I keep up with history.) This Freidrich Drumpf embodies<br \/>\nthe exception that proves the rule, as he was one immigrant who did nothing<br \/>\nconstructive. Worse, he spawned a son who proved to be worse than himself, and<br \/>\nthat son in turn spawned a creature yet lower.<\/p>\n<p>Friedrich Drumpf should have been banished back to Germany, but Germany would<br \/>\nnot accept him on return. The entire Drumpf line is thus tainted. And now your<br \/>\nformer President, Donald, and his greedy offspring have dishonored the<br \/>\nConstitution with their grift and disregard for decency. I would challenge the<br \/>\npatriarch to a duel, but I do not know how to wield a golf club.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">(And I thought I thought Burr was a scoundrel.)<\/p>\n<p>What I was not prepared for, however, is the complicity of your entire<br \/>\nRepublican party. Are they all descendants of Thomas Jefferson? The hypocrisy! I<br \/>\nwould have thought that in almost 250 years the government would have learned a<br \/>\nfew things. Sadly, history does not so much repeat itself as continually<br \/>\nregurgitate.

This would have allowed us to effectively blame Hillary Clinton for<br \/>\nthe insurrection. She has proved to be such a strong, all-purpose scapegoat for<br \/>\nRepublican dissatisfaction, that we felt it would be <i>sine mente,<\/i> or as<br \/>\nyou say in non-legal terms, a no-brainer. <\/p>\n<p>Then we realized that you, in your brilliance, Mr. President, offered the best<br \/>\nstrategy of all, something you used to great effectiveness in your debates<br \/>\nagainst Mrs.Clinton.

Maybe I\u2019ll do both\u2014one for each<br \/>\nface.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Ivanka says I shouldn\u2019t get too excited about the acquittal because New York,<br \/>\nGeorgia, and maybe Michigan are preparing indictments.

I don\u2019t want to sleep with Nikki Haley, that I can tell you.<\/p>\n<p>Rudy, by the way, has been calling me incessantly for his<br \/>\nmoney. The man shrieks into the phone. I keep telling him I just wired the<br \/>\nmoney to his bank. And then he calls back to shriek that it\u2019s not there yet. My<br \/>\nbad, I sent it to the First National Bank of Sit on This. He can go ahead and<br \/>\nsue me. Since he has never won a case for me, I don\u2019t imagine he\u2019d win that<br \/>\none. Because I am, what?

I don\u2019t snore\u2014I hardly even sleep\u2014but CPAP has honored me with a<br \/>\ngolden statue, so of course I\u2018ll show up. I\u2019m bringing that statue back with me<br \/>\nto Mar-a-Lago, that I can tell you. (Did you know that Mar-a-Lago Spanish for<br \/>\nLand of Gold-plated Idols?)<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I had no idea there were so many conservative Republican<br \/>\nsnorers, but CPAP has attracted the biggest of them\u2014including all the guys who<br \/>\npledge their support for me but are planning to run for president in 2024. At<br \/>\nthe top of that list is Ted Cruz, who will do anything to get out of Texas. But<br \/>\nwho can blame him? His house still doesn\u2019t have heat, his wife is ugly, and<br \/>\neveryone in his state is up his ass about their $15,000 electricity bills.<br \/>\nJared called him a \u201cschnorrer.\u201d Then he called Mike Pompeo, another attendee, a<br \/>\n\u201cchazer.\u201d It\u2019s all Greek to me.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Ron De Sanctimonious delivered the opening address. Since<br \/>\nCPAP is being held in Orlando\u2014which is actually in Florida, something I was not<br \/>\naware of\u2014he got to welcome everyone. He told the audience to \u201cstand your ground<br \/>\nand don\u2019t ever, ever back down.\u201d He should have realized his words would send<br \/>\nthe buffet line for dinner into a frenzy. Guns were drawn as attendees jostled<br \/>\nfor the prime rib. And no one was wearing a mask.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">My son Donald Junior and his current irlfriend, Kimberly<br \/>\nGuilfoyle, were featured speakers. She danced onto the stage like a stripper<br \/>\nand screamed some words of welcome (I never have to turn on my hearing aid when<br \/>\nshe\u2019s around) and then introduced Don Jr. He strutted out like he actually won<br \/>\nan election, but he hit all the right notes: He mocked Liz Cheney, Joe Biden,<br \/>\nthe Lincoln Project, and Andrew Cuomo. That\u2019s my boy! (Not that I would ever<br \/>\npraise him. Keep him hungry, that\u2019s my motto. He\u2019ll do more for me that way.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I myself am looking forward to tomorrow when I give the<br \/>\nclosing speech. I will claim my rightful position as President of the United<br \/>\nStates\u2014I won by a landslide, everyone says so\u2014and praise the MAGA movement.<br \/>\nYes, I know that I didn\u2019t come close to MAGA-ing a damn thing, but that audience<br \/>\nwill believe anything I say. I plan to lie about Joe\u2014I have some bones to pick,<br \/>\nthat I can tell you\u2014even though I know his lowest approval rating is higher<br \/>\nthan my highest one. And I plan to blame the insurrection, er, I mean, riot, I<br \/>\nmean demonstration, on Antifa. I\u2019m going to say that they dressed up in Trump<br \/>\nt-shirts, carried Trump flags, and broke into the Capitol to protest Joe\u2019s<br \/>\nvictory. Even I know that\u2019s about as realistic as Ivanka marrying me, but if<br \/>\nall else fails, I will blame everything on Bison Boy. Or Eric.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Finally, since he won\u2019t be there, I\u2019m going to call Mitch<br \/>\nMcConnell a two-faced turd. I mean, he stood on the Senate floor and said that<br \/>\nI was \u201cpractically and morally responsible\u201d for the insurrection but then said<br \/>\nhe would back me for President in 2024. So I will say that even if he is a<br \/>\ntwo-faced turd, I love him and also hate his guts. Then after some more<br \/>\nblah-blah-blah, I will hypnotize the audience and put them all to sleep. The<br \/>\nsnoring will blow the roof off the joint.
