A Partial Transcript Of The G7 Summit

QUEBEC CITY – FANCY HOTEL

“Listen, less important countries with terrible, weak leaders: thank you for coming. Things have gotten heated, mostly due to your lies and stealing from America and Angela’s attitude, but also because of my strength. Let’s face it: you come from sissy countries and you were impressed by me and we got off on the wrong foot. Now we have to do a communique, and I want it to be the most beautiful communique anyone’s ever seen. We’re gonna really do something special that people are gonna love. Justy?”

“Don’t call me that.”

“Where’s Justy?”

“Again: do not call me that, and I am sitting directly to your left.”

“Justy?”

“I’m gonna jingle my keys.”

CANADIAN KEY-JINGLING NOISE

“Justy. There you are.”

“Jesus.”

“Canada is killing us! Using us like dogs. It’s not fair what’s going on, Justy. We’re gonna need the Great Lakes back. Both sides belong to us now.”

“That’s not even worth discussing, Mr. President.”

“Fine. I want a CFL team. And a good one, not the Argonauts.”

“That is in no way something I could do.”

“Justy, I don’t know what the press is like in Canada, but our news is 83% fake. 83% percent, that’s the number, and it’s getting to the point where it’s almost a contest of fakeness. I talk about this with Sean Hannity all the time. He says, ‘Mr. President, which news is the fakest?’ and I sometimes I say NBC, and sometimes I say CNN. It depends on the day. Really, it depends on the day.”

“Okay. And…?”

“Where’s the King of Macaroni? French guy. King of Macaroni?”

“I’m a president. And my name is Macron.”

“I want you to put my name on the side of the Eiffel Tower.”

“Non.”

“I want the can-can to be renamed the Don-Don.”

“Non.”

“Weak! Merky, you’re next.”

“Vas zat all you had to say to Herr Macron?”

“Who?”

“Gott in himmel.”

“Merky, your accent reminds me of something. We gotta let Russia back into the club, group, summit, whatever. Very important, Russia. Big time guys over there, and what are we doing without them? Not right!”

“Zey vere expelled for invading Crimea, Donald.”

“Invaded Crimea, shminvaded Crimea. Who here hasn’t invaded another country? Even Canada invaded! Remember that, Justy? Canada invaded America and burned down the Grand Canyon.”

“That is in no way what actually happened.”

“Besides, most of the Crimeans are very, very happy to see the Russians. I saw videotape, and this is true, I saw tape of Crimeans celebrating in the streets. They were yelling and dancing and shooting in the air, bing bing bang, and it was a joyful scene. Crimeans call me and say, “Mr. Trump, it’s so nice having the Russians here. They’re a boon to the economy, big tippers, real class. Real class.”

“Ja. Crimeans call you, Herr President?”

“All day long. I probably know more Crimeans than anyone you’ve ever met. I know more Crimeans than most Crimeans, I would say. So we need to get Putin in on this.”

“Nein. Herr Putin vill sit in his Straufraum until he learns to play nicely viz the rest of ze vorld.”

“Great, great, wonderful. I’ll FaceTime him.”

“Nein!”

“Mr. President, I smell a Filet-O-Fish in the next room.”

“Thank you, Justy!”

CONFUSED OLD MAN WITH THE NUCLEAR CODES WOBBLING INTO THE NEXT ROOM IN SEARCH OF A FILET-O-FISH NOISE

Danke schoen, Justy.”

“It was my pleasure, Chancellor. The world needs heroes right now. And it’s got me, Canada’s Justin Trudeau.”

“Gott in himmel.”

Donald Trump Drafts A Letter To North Korea

THE OVAL OFFICE – THIS MORNING

“…and this morning at nine o’clock Pyongyang time, the North Korean government sent out a communique calling Vice-President Pence–and I’m quoting–a dog that wishes to lick its own dick, but cannot due to the smallness of the dick. The translators said that was as close as they could get to the meaning.”

“The Vice-President is being treated very unfairly. That’s funny, but very unfair. Write that line down. I’m gonna tweet it out about Hillary, who many people have told me has a dick. Probably why I beat her so badly in an Electoral College win that no one saw coming. I said I would win, but no one agreed with me, which is why there were so many spies in the campaign. Lot of spies!”

“Mr. President–”

“Y’know what? I can’t look at the mustache, Bolton. Turn around. Face the wall.”

BELLIGERENT, HIRSUTE MAN TURNING TOWARDS THE WALL NOISE

“Better. Clean-shaven! All my life, even though I could grow maybe the greatest, thickest beards that anyone’s ever seen. Sylvester Stallone, who is a good friend, he always says that. ‘Mr. Trump, I would love to see you with a beard and I know that it would be spectacular.’ He says that, and he was Rambo. Bolty, you know Rambo?”

“Yes, I know–”

“Vietnam, Afghanistan. Rambo goes and wins. Got the machine gun, shirt off, the whole thing. Very strong. How many Rambos do we have in the military? Do we have a Rambo brigade?”

“I don’t think we–”

“I’m gonna cancel! I was gonna do it, and everyone knows it, because we are being treated very rough. Very rough, and we’re gonna walk away. I knew I was gonna cancel before I did, but now I am. Cancel!”

“Sir, maybe you–”

“Bolton, out! Get out. I need my General. Where’s my General?”

“Here.”

“General?”

“I’ve been in the room for 90 minutes, sir.”

“General?”

“You’re looking in your desk drawer, Mr. President. I’m too big to–”

“General?”

“Oh, there you are.”

“Yes, sir?”

“I knew where you were. General, I think Bolton’s mustache is a spy.”

“I would have to disagree, sir.”

“Sent by Obama! He still runs the FBI and he’s sending mustache-spies after me.”

“There’s no such thing as a mustache-spy, sir.”

“I canceled! Canceled, done, we’re not doing that. The North Korea thing, not gonna do it. Canceled.”

“Yes, sir. I was sitting six feet away from you when you did it.”

“We should tweet this out.”

ILL-FITTING SUIT POCKET-PATTING NOISE

“I left my phone at Burger King.”

“Oh, God.”

“It’s okay. They’ll hold it for me. They know me there. Not blacks! Mostly Puerto Ricans at the Burger King I like, and that’s weird. Burger King is irresistible to blacks. Most people think Popeye’s because of the fried chicken, but blacks love Burger King. Not too many at the one I go to, though. Right amount. Just the right amount of blacks.”

“I’ll send the Secret Service to get your phone.”

“And a Whopper. Make it two. One for you.”

“No, thank you, sir.”

“French toast sticks?”

“No.”

“Get me French toast sticks. Extra syrup packets. Make sure they look in the bag and count the syrup! They try to jew you out of your syrup. Okay, we’ll just have to use your phone.”

“My phone doesn’t have Twitter, sir. Why don’t we write a letter?”

PAD BEING PRODUCED NOISE

“Letter, excellent. Like back in the old days. Obama never sent letters. I’ve heard he was completely illiterate. Sean Hannity is sure of it. He has videotape of Obama trying to read and he just can’t do it. Not a bright man. We should say something about the Mexicans in the letter. They’re pouring in. Pouring. Buses and buses of these animals, and all of them rape. 91% of Mexicans rape, General. Can you believe that? Big on rape, the Mexicans.”

“Sir, we should try to keep the letter to one topic.”

“Which is?”

“North Korea, sir.”

“I canceled!”

“Okay, let’s just get started. How about ‘Dear President Kim.'”

“Too casual. Y’know, this is why I’m President and you’re General. Although I could have been a great, great general. The guns, the uniforms, all of that. I would have been the top soldier, I think and many people agree with that. Address it to Your Galactic Omniprescence; First in War, Love, and Golf; Stallion of the Heavenly Grasslands; Installer of Water Parks, and Nemesis of Death.

“I’m gonna shave that down a bit.”

“Sure, great, whatever. Finesse it. Okay, write this down: You have been very, very unfair to me and not lived up to your side of the bargain, which was to get rid of all your nuclear weapons without us giving you anything, which I know you agreed to because all the Friends on Fox & Friends nodded when I said that you did when I called in the other day and got them the best ratings. When Trump calls in, the ratings are through the roof, right through the roof, and later the Friends call me and they thank me and that’s a huge, huge compliment to me, I think. You got that?”

“Most of it.”

“Okay, I got more. Little Fatty Chopsticks, we have the most deadly, beautiful nuclear weapons in the world. They are so shiny and I hope that we never have to shoot them at you, even though we would definitely hit you because you’re such a good target because you’re so fat. That’s good. You write that down, General?”

“Mm-hmm.”

“Is my Whopper here yet?”

“Let’s just push through, sir.”

“Sure, sure, letter, okay. You wanna run this by Lou Dobbs? I could put him on speaker.”

“No, sir.”

“Okay, here’s more: It is so sad that you have thrown away this wonderful chance at peace that I brought you, and you owe me $3 million for the commemorative coins.”

“Got it. I’ll polish it up and release it after we tell our embassies.”

“No, no, just release it. Have it be a surprise. Diplomacy is all about surprises.”

“Yes, sir.”

“General?”

“I’ll check on the French toast sticks, sir.”

“Great, great, perfect, great.”

Donald Trump Junior’s Attorney Is Beginning To Regret Taking The Gig

“Junior–”

“Dude, chill. I’m playing Fortnite.”

“Yeah, that’s what I wanted to talk to you about.”

“Do you play? What’s your screen name? Mine’s Businessman69. Because I’m a businessman. And, you know, because 69.”

“Uh-huh. Are you talking to other players on your little microphone?”

“Gotta, dude! Talking shit is, like, half the game. I talk such good shit. Sometimes, I call people fags. A lot of the time, I just scream NI–”

“Junior! Are you talking to randos in a video game about legal matters?”

“Only to people who say they’re lawyers. I’m not an idiot.”

“No, you’d have to get smarter to be an idiot. You need to stop playing that game.”

“Stop streaming on Twitch, or stop altogether?”

“You’re streaming on Twitch?”

“Me and Ninja did some team-play the other day. Broke a million viewers, bro.”

“Stop it. Stop everything you’re doing.”

“What about my vlog?”

“You vlog? About what?”

“My feelings. And I react to movie trailers.”

“I need you to get off the internet.”

“But when I call people ‘cucks’ in real life, they laugh at me!”

“Off the internet! Now, Junior, we need to talk about this new meeting that you neglected to tell me about.”

“Which one?”

Well, first we’re going to discuss the meeting between you, the child molester who’s buddies with the Saudi princes, the guy with his own private army, and someone who was almost certainly an Israeli spy.”

“Oh, that meeting.”

“Yes. Can you tell me what happened in the meeting?”

“I’ll try. I think the Saudi guy was all like, ‘Oh, dude, the princes love your dad so much, he’s so awesome and powerful and we hate Hillary because she kills hitchhikers, and we want your dad to win and if he does we’ll give him an orb.’ I remember they said the thing about the orb because I didn’t know what an ‘orb’ was.”

“Okay.”

“Still don’t, as a matter of fact. Never looked it up.”

“Back to the meeting.”

“And whathisface, the army guy, he’s all, ‘I wanna help you crush the…crush the…’ Who do the Saudis want to crush? Sounds like ‘Bimini.'”

“The Yemenis.”

“Sounds right. I was pretty sure the Saudis didn’t have a problem with Bimini.”

“No one has a problem with Bimini.”

“I do. I got chlamydia there.”

“Focus, Junior. What about the Israeli guy?”

“Very hairy. Like, his shirt could not contain it. Came curling around his cuffs and through the buttonholes and everything.”

“What did he say?”

“He was like a hacker dude. He said he was the King of Twitter, and I was like, ‘Pssh. That’s my dad.’ And the guy was like, ‘Oh, yeah. You’re right. Besides your dad. We love your dad so much, he’s so awesome and powerful.'”

“And you didn’t think it was weird that Israel and Saudi Arabia shared an opinion?”

“Nah. Those guys have a love-hate thing going on.”

“Nope.”

“What did you say about a child molester?”

“George Nader. The guy who was representing the Saudis? Caught with child porn a bunch of times.”

“Huh. Wow.”

“Yeah.”

“Girls or boys?”

“I’m not having this discussion.”

“I just wanna know how bad it was.”

“We’re moving on and I’m making a mental note to donate heavily to the first charity I find after you leave my office.”

“The Trump Foundation is legally a charity.”

“Have there been any other meetings you’re not telling me about?”

“I do not recall.”

“That’s what you say on the stand, not in here.”

“Oh, right. I forgot. Um, yes? I guess so.”

“Great. Let’s start with the foreign nationals.”

“The Nationals are from Washington.”

“Not the baseball team. I mean people from other countries. How many meetings did you have with people from other countries?”

“A bunch, I guess. We met some Venezuelans.”

“What happened there?”

“They stole all the bagels and left.”

“Sounds right.”

“I met some black guys.”

“Do you remember what country they were from?”

“I wanna say Wakanda.”

“They were not from Wakanda.”

“Zmunda?”

“Similarly fictional.”

“Rhodesia.”

“Defunct and problematic. Let’s just move on. Did you meet with any Chinese?”

“Delivery guy count?”

“Not at all.”

“Oh, wait, yeah. I had a bunch of meetings with the Chinese. Do you know they build a city every 35 minutes in China?”

“Yes.”

“They offered us one. Like, the Trump Organization would brand it.”

“And what did they want in return?”

“Nothing! They were just being generous.”

“Yeah, that’s what they’re known for.”

“We did discuss ripping up the Interstate system and having them replace it all with toll-roads.”

“There you go. Was anything actually exchanged at these meetings?”

“No.”

“I mean, they brought envelopes of cash, but those were gifts.”

“I quit.”

Donald Trump, Jr., Meets With His Attorneys Yet Again

“Hey, Trumpers! Just hanging out with my maaaaaan here, whose name I forgot, but he’s fuckin’ righteous. Dudes, we got new merch in the shop and I think you’re gonna love this stuff. All new Junior Is My Homeboy tee-shirts, and–”

“Junior!”

“Hey, you’re awesome.”

“Junior, are you livestreaming our meeting?”

“Dude, Trump Team Ten demands new content.”

“I’m your lawyer, asshole. You cannot livestream meetings with your lawyer.”

“Is that, like, a YouTube term of service thing?”

PHONE SNATCHING NOISE

“Dude, my subscribers.”

“Shut up. We need to talk about your Senate testimony.”

“When am I doing that?”

“You did it already. In March.”

“If you say so. Wait, is Senate testimony when a Vietnamese lady takes care of your feet?”

“No. That’s a pedicure.”

“Then I do not recall this Senate testimony you speak of.”

“You were in a big building full of white people, and people asked you questions you struggled to answer.”

“Dude, that’s literally every day of my life.”

“Regardless.”

“Excuse me, Mr. Lawyer. The word is irregardless.”

“Junior, you need to explain to me some of the responses you gave to the Senate. Here. This is the transcipt of the hearing.”

“Dude, that is so thick. That’s what she said!”

“Did you just ‘That’s what she said?’ yourself? You can’t do that.”

“My dad’s the president, I can do anything.”

“Just open the transcript to the first post-it note, please.”

“Dude, I really don’t wanna read. I’ve totally pivoted to video.”

“Open it!”

“DON’T HIT ME, DAD!”

“I almost feel sorry for you.”

“So many people say those exact words to me.”

“Open the transcript.”

“Fine.”

“Now you see there where I’ve highlighted? You were asked what you thought the meeting with the Russians was about, and you answered ‘Colluding.'”

“Uh-huh.”

“Why would you say that?”

“Reverse psychology.”

“Explain.”

“Dude, we’ve been, like, ‘No collusion’ over and over and no one will drop the investigation. So I pulled a reverse psychology on them. Instead of saying ‘No collusion,’ I said ‘Collusion,’ and they were like ‘Whaaaaaaa?’ They didn’t know whether to shit or go blind.”

“Me, neither.”

“I set a donbush. That’s like an ambush–”

“I get it.”

“–but with me.”

“Yeah.”

“Everyone calls me Junior, but my name’s Donald.”

“Okay, let’s go to the next post-it. You were asked what happened after the meeting with the Russian lawyers and you said–and I quote–‘I don’t remember what I did do, but I remember what I didn’t do, and that’s call my father. That definitely didn’t happen. No dad-calling from me at that point. Nosireebob.'”

“Uh-huh.”

“You actually said ‘Nosireebob.'”

“I’m pretty folksy once you get to know me.”

“Right. So, uh, here’s the problem: you did speak to your father after the meeting.”

“Did I?”

“Yes.”

“How do you know that?”

“You told me and provided your cell phone records. You also recorded the conversation.”

“I always do that when I’m talking to Dad. Sometimes he sounds proud of me, and I edit those bits together to listen to in the gym. Pumps me up.”

“Junior.”

“You lift?”

“Junior.”

“Blasting back and bi’s today. You wanna come? Black your back and bi’s?”

“You lied to the Senate, Junior.”

“In my defense, several of those Senators look Jewish.”

“You cannot lie to the Senate.”

“What, like there’s a law against it?”

“Yes.”

“Really?”

“Several. It is very, very illegal to lie to the Senate during a hearing.”

“Huh. Throw it on the pile, I guess.”

“Listen to me: no statements. Stay out of sight. Get off of social media.”

“Even Tinder?”

“Oh, for fuck’s sake, you’re on Tinder?”

“Dude, hooked up with this hottie last week. Chinese chick. She had the eyes, the weird pubes, the whole package. And she was, like, really from China.”

“A Chinese citizen?”

“I didn’t see her passport. She had an accent, though. We did it two-and-a-half times.”

“Two-and-a-half?”

“My dad called and I couldn’t get it up anymore.”

“Sure.”

“She was really knowledgeable about US politics, though. Kept asking me all these questions.”

“Uh-huh. What was her name?”

“She said it was Honey Pott.”

“I quit.”

Doctor, My Lies

Hey, Soup.

“Ixnay on the Oup-say, man. There’s reporters around. It’s like a water park.”

Watergate.

“Whatever floats your goat, brother. But when we’re in public, just call me Dr. Bernstein.”

Bornstein.

“I don’t need these vultures knowing my business.”

Then why do you keep giving interviews?

“It’s nice to be wanted, man.”

Sure.

“How you feeling? You all good? You wanna get a little better?”

I’m cool.

“I know you’re cool. That’s why I’m asking if you want drugs, man.”

No, thank you.

“Blue Bomber?”

No.

“Black Beauty?”

No.

“Puce Panther?”

What even is that?

“It’s like speed, but patriotic. Here, take a handful for later.”

You’re either the best or worst doctor in the world. So, what happened?

“The GESTAPO, man! They raided my offices and tried to go through my files!”

Tried?

“I don’t write anything down, man. Between me and my nurses, we’ll remember it if it’s important.”

I don’t think that’s how it works.

“Doctors get hung up on ‘histories’ and ‘charts’ and all that, man. Medicine is a much more intuitive art than the teevee tells you.”

Okay. So, some men–

“GOONS, man!”

–from the Trump Organization came by and then what?

“They scared the hell out of my office manager. She still won’t come out from under the copier machine.”

Is your office manager a cat?

“Yes.”

Please continue.

“There were two men and they were very rude. They overturned a whole box of tongue depressors.”

That’s terrible.

“They played keep-away with my stethoscope, man!”

Monsters.

“And this is all because of what? Nothing! So I told the newspaper what medications the President is on? Who says a doctor can’t tell reporters what drugs a patient is using?”

The law. The law says you can’t do that. And ethics. And common courtesy. What you did was wrong in quite literally every way.

“Yeah, but I did it to Trump.”

Still.

“That guy’s a prick, man.”

You didn’t know that?

“I thought he was just gonna be a prick to everyone else, man.”

Lesson learned.

“Eh. You sure you don’t want a little pick-me-up?”

Fuck it, let’s get sloppy.

“My man!”

A Partial Transcript Of Robert Mueller’s Questions For The President, 4/230/18

The special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, recently provided President Trump’s lawyers a list of questions he wants answered in an interview. The New York Times obtained the list; here are the questions, along with the context and significance of each. The questions fall into categories based on four broad subjects. They are not quoted verbatim, and some were condensed. – “What Mueller Wants To Ask Trump About Obstruction, And What It Means” New York Times, 4/30/18

“How are you today, Mr. President?”

Mr. Mueller is here trying to end the day early. By asking such an open-ended question, he hopes that the President will perjure himself immediately. This is the legal equivalent of the “Fool’s Mate” strategy in chess.

“What was the content of your meeting with James Comey on 2/14/17?”

This is the meeting at which Mr. Comey contends Mr. Trump asked if could, w/r/t the Flynn case, “let this thing go.”

What was the content of your meeting with James Comey on 3/3/17?”

This meeting did not take place, but Mr. Mueller and his staff have placed wagers about whether Mr. Trump will just start making shit up.

“If one of your children has to go to jail–and most likely one does–which one should it be?”

Most of the Mueller team are parents, and they just want to hear the answer for themselves. Again, there has been wagering and the current line has Ivanka at 100-1, Eric at 9-2, Junior at 2-1, and even money he forgets about Tiffany’s existence. (Barron was not included in the betting as the team felt his age made it inappropriate. Unofficially, he’s listed at 15-1.)

“Traitorousputzsayswhat?”

This is childish, but just might work.

“Was the peeing an evening-specific thing, or was it part of your repertoire?”

Mr. Mueller hopes to rattle Mr. Trump here by alluding to a salacious portion of the Steele Dossier.

“I don’t know: can you go to the bathroom?”

With this question, Mr. Mueller is just being dickish.

“Do you have an egg in your pocket?”

If Mr. Trump has an egg in his pocket, he will get the chance to play exciting games for fabulous prizes, such as a dinette set or ski-doo (complete with trailer).

“During the interview with Lester Holt, did you mean to incriminate yourself or did it happen by accident?”

This query refers to an interview Mr. Trump did with NBC’s Lester Holy in which he literally said that he obstructed justice.

“Which of the Friends on Fox & Friends is your favorite?”

Again, this is being asked for purposes of wagering. “Blondie” is at 8-1, “The little guy, Ken or something” is at 4-1, “Chick with the tits” is at 2-1. (It is being assumed that Mr. Trump does not know any of the Friends’ actual names.)

“Do you like CD’s?”

It is anticipated that Mr. Trump will respond, “CD’s?” to which the Mueller team will say in unison, “SEE DESE NUTS,” and then laugh. The entire office is really looking forward to it.

Doing Lafayette Proud

“This is probably the best shoveling job anyone’s ever done, and I am so proud to be burying Barbara Bush. She was such a classy, classy lady even though she looked like a grandma and was a 3 in her prime. In her prime!”

“Oui are not burying ze First Lady, Monsieur President.”

“Maybe a 2. Not hot. All of my wives were hotter, so I win. Very sad, though, but she’s being buried on the lawn of the White House. That’s tradition. All the first ladies are here. Nancy, Lady Bird. Hillary will be here one day, and she deserves that. For the crimes she committed, Hillary Clinton should probably be buried alive, but we have to be nice. They told me to be nice. Michelle Obama will also be here, but in a different section of the lawn. You know. Over there. Those people go over there.”

“Zis izz not what izz ‘appening, Donald.”

“Melania? Where’s my Melania? Melania?”

HATEFUL WOMAN PRETENDING NOT TO HEAR A SCUMBAG NOISE

“Melania?”

“Melania? I guess she’s not here. Very busy, King Macaroni.”

“I am not ze king, and zat izz not my name.”

“Never in the history of first ladies has there been one who did so much. All day. This, that, bing bang, she’s all over the place. She talks to the children, and their faces light up. Great, great first lady. And she doesn’t tell people what to eat, like Michelle who was a man and a Nazi. Many people don’t know this, but Larry Kudlow told me. You know Larry Kudlow?”

“No.”

“Real winner. When he’s on teevee, I’m watching. That’s why I hired him. He brought his own makeup girl, and you should see the tits on her. Real yabbos. You say ‘yabbos’ in France?”

“No.”

“And not fat! Some girls, they got the tits because they’re hogs, but this one got a little waist, tush, nice. Then: bing bong boobs. There they are. You got fat chicks in France?”

“No.”

“Lucky, very lucky. That’s what they say: Lucky Pierre. Very lucky. You should see all the fatties around here. I got one. Something wrong with her eyes. Great on teevee, though. Send her out, she yells at the lying, failing, Jewish media. They work hard.”

“The Jews?”

“No, fat chicks. Over-achievers, fat chicks. Everywhere except in the gym. Frenchy, you are gonna love this State Dinner. No one in maybe the history of State Dinners has done a better job than Melania has setting this up. She is just super. Melania?”

SLOVENIAN CATALOG MODEL LOATHING IN SILENCE NOISE

“Where is she? Melania?”

“General?”

“Melania?”

“Monsieur President, perhaps we should talk about ze Iran deal.”

“At dinner, at dinner. You are not gonna believe it. Do you have Chick-Fil-A in France?”

“I do not know what zis is.”

“It’s the pickle! I’ve had chicken sandwiches from everyplace, the most beautiful chicken sandwiches, and no one else does the pickle. Adds so much to the flavor. And, you know, you walk into Chick-Fil-A and the kid behind the counter is a real American. He doesn’t rap at you, nothing. It’s not Burger King. Let’s just say that. Anyway, we got Chick-Fil-A piled to the ceiling. All you can eat, which is an idea I came up with for the Trump Shuttle. All the peanuts you could eat, and people called me up, ‘Mr. Trump, thank you for the peanuts. Everyone else skimps, but you showed real class and brains with the peanut thing.’ People gave me such spectacular compliments.”

“What ze fuck are you talking about?”

UNSECURED CELL PHONE NOISE

“President speaking.”

“Vous just answer your mobile? Is zat a Blackberry?”

“Shh. Important call. Hey, big guy!”

“Hello, The Donald.”

“Are you shoveling, too? Great, wonderful, what luck. I’m here with King Macaroni–”

“Zis is not my name..”

“–and we’re shoveling. The best shoveling, but now that I see you’re shoveling, I think you might have an edge. Just a little one, but you are truly a hell of a shoveler. Are you planting a tree, Mr. President?”

“Da. Is tree asked too many qvestions.”

“Beautiful, great, burying. Hey, listen: we’re having a little get-together here tomorrow night. We would be so honored, probably the most honored people that have ever lived, if you would stop by.”

“Zoot alors, do not invite Putin to ze dinner!”

“I vould love to, The Donald. Vhat is menu?”

“Chick-Fil-A.”

“Vonderful. Putin love pickle.”

“Sacre fucking bleu.”

Trump Lingered Last In Line For Brains…

As usual, Jennifer Boylan makes a good case over in the (failing, lying) New York Times comparing Trump to Gump; her thesis is based on a reputed conversation between Erick Erickson, who is to be taken exactly as seriously as his name suggests, and an anonymous Congressfucker in a produce section somewhere in Alexandria. This Rep–most likely the living avatar of Staten Island Peter King–describes Basketball Head thusly:

“It’s like Forrest Gump won the presidency But it’s an evil, really stupid Forrest Gump. He can’t help himself. He’s just an idiot who thinks he’s winning when people are bitching about him.”

Professor Boylan goes on to make her case comparing the two idiots. She writes beautifully, as always, but I must respectfully disagree with her. (And the Congressman, but without the respect. Fuck you, nameless government employee.) Yes, both Trump and Gump are mammals. Both, too, are nominally bipedal. The Krebs Cycle applies equally to both men.

But to posit a Forrest Gump who is “evil [and] stupid” is like talking about Darth Vader, but without the suit and he’s modest, kind to animals and children, and obsessed with hockey. We all–factual and fictional alike–have within us certain essentialities of character. A cruel Gump is not a Gump at all, just as a lazy Teddy Roosevelt is not a TR, or a giggly, loose-lipped Elizabeth II isn’t the Queen of England.

But, Enthusiasts, we surely must be able to compare Le Merde Orange to a fictional character. But whom? Moriarty doesn’t fit: while both men are clearly evil, Moriarty was a genius who could hold his own in a fistfight. (Sure, the fistfight was against a middle-aged opiate addict, but still.) Dracula is similarly wrong: both men suck, but Dracula could dress himself. Lara Croft? Both she and Turnip are children of privilege with big ol’ floppity tittyballs, but there is little correlation beyond that.

Perhaps Shemp? Shemp was a physically unattractive man, unpopular with the public, and replaced a much more talented and beloved performer.

Maybe Elmer Fudd. They are both perpetually confused, involved in disasters of their own making, antagonistic but cowardly, and convinced that the outcome will be in their favor no matter what the facts on the ground say. The two also resemble giant ugly babies.

Jabba the Hutt is too easy a comparison, so let’s move on.

What about Garfield? Hmm…

  • Fat.
  • Lazy.
  • Orange.
  • Use specialized glands in their cheeks to mark their territory.
  • Need to be taken care of.
  • Hate dogs.
  • Despise any sort of order or natural beauty.

And they both shit in a box in the corner! There you go, Enthusiasts: the fictional character Donald J* Trump most resembles is Garfield. You’re welcome.

 

*The “J” stands for “Jamoke.”

President Trump Examines His Military Options

INT. OVAL OFFICE – RIGHT AFTER FOX & FRIENDS

“Lemme see hands. We’re gonna vote, even though I’m the President of all the people, even the blacks. We’ll vote, but maybe I’ll just do what I want. Who knows? We could do voting, we could do my idea, we’ll see. Okay, voting. All in favor? Opposed? Beautiful, wonderful, the ayes have it. We’re getting cheese in the crust. General?”

“Yes, sir?”

“Where’s my General?”

“You’re literally making eye contact with me, Mr. President.”

“General?”

“Sweet Jesus, take me now.”

“General! There you are. I thought the Deep State got you. General, make the call. Cheese in the crust, which was my idea. I called up the CEO of Pizza Hut, told him, he did it. Millions. Millions, this guy made from jamming cheese in the crust. I told him to do it. Great guy. You should see his yacht. Call for the pizza, General.”

“We’ll get to the pizza, sir. But, once again, who are these people in the Oval Office?”

“Good friends of mine from Mar-A-Lago. It’s a membership perk for the real winners. Unlimited cocktail shrimp, plus you hang out with me for the day. Watch the greatest president in US history from up close. In many ways, these spectacular people are the real historians of our age. Great, great, wonderful folks. Some of ’em don’t speak English, but they’re rich, so it’s okay.”

“Have they been vetted?”

“Vetted, shmetted.”

“Holy God.”

“Are we doing the God bit now? Let us pray.”

OVAL OFFICE FULL OF RICH PEOPLE BOWING THEIR HEADS NOISE

“No, we’re not doing the God bit, sir.”

“I pray very well. The Pope told me that. Better than him, that’s what he said.”

“Sir, we have a meeting scheduled with–”

“You hear that, everybody? Meeting! Very exciting, wonderful, okay, great.”

“–General Mattis to discuss…sir, it’s top secret. We need to get the civilians out of the room.”

“You heard the General, folks. Sorry. Let’s go. C’mon, I’m gonna show you the Lincoln Bedroom.”

“Not you, sir. You’re not a civilian anymore.”

“I knew that. I was testing you, and you passed, unlike the slimy James Comey, who didn’t even see my hands. I never showed him my hands, not once, and in fact never met him in person, so his book must be fake news. Excellent work, General.”

“Okay, out.”

RICH PEOPLE EXITING OVAL OFFICE NOISE

“Very forceful. Strong. You’re the best general, General. Can I promote you?”

“No, sir. I retired from the Army, so–”

“You’re promoted. Bing bong. Done, there you go. You’re not just a general, you’re a major general.”

“That would actually be a demotion, sir.”

“Bing bong.”

“Whatever. Listen, Mattis is here.”

“Ooh, great. General sandwich. All my generals in one place, and I have the best generals that anyone has ever seen. They’re all tall, really sharp. The best generals.”

“Yes, sir.”

KNOCK KNOCK

“Oh, here he is.”

“Is that the pizza?”

TALL MAN OPENING THE DOOR FOR ANOTHER TALL MAN NOISE

“John.”

“Jim.”

“How’s he today?”

“He’s a gibbering fucktard incapable of even the most basic thought.”

“So, the usual?”

“Yup.”

“He’s gonna call me Mad Dog, isn’t he?”

“Yup.”

“You want a xan?”

“Yup.”

TALL MAN GIVING ANOTHER TALL MAN A XAN NOISE

“Muchas Garcias, brother.”

“Where you headed to?”

“Gonna get shitty in the Treaty Room. Got a bottle of Cuervo stashed in there.”

“Save some for me. Gonna need some when I get through with Momma’s Special Angel.”

“Mad Dog!”

“Fuck, he saw me.”

“Courage.”

TALL MAN WITH A RUINED REPUTATION SLINKING OFF TO THE TREATY ROOM TO GET SHITTY NOISE

“Mr. President.”

“Mad Dog! Where’s my Mad Dog?”

“Standing in front of your desk, sir.”

“Mad Dog?”

“Not out the window.”

“Dog? Mad Dog?”

“I don’t know why you’d look in the wastepaper basket, sir. I’m clearly not in there.”

“General Mad Dog?”

“Now you’re just staring at the ceiling. Right here, sir.”

“Mad Dog! There’s my dog! What’s up, dog? The blacks say that all the time, and then they make the rap gestures. What’s up, dog. You ever meet Ludacris?”

“I haven’t, sir.”

“Good business mind. You know, for what he is.”

“Sir, I’m here to talk to you about the situation in Syria.”

“Add more milk.”

“Not cereal, sir. Syria.”

“Very bad. Obama started that war. Personally. May have also been born there. He kind of looks Syrian, right? Many people who know Syrians have told me that Obama is definitely a Syrian, and these are real smart people. Winners, sharks, my very good friends. Obama was Syrian.”

“Uh-huh, yeah. Sir, we have a plan ready for your approval to bomb selected sites within Damascus that we believe may be key to the chemical weapon program.”

“They can’t do chemical. This is what everyone who knows anything says. Shooting? Bing bang bang? Sure, go ahead, shoot your guns, whatever. Sometimes these things happen. Bing bang. But chemical? No, not chemical. Very, very bad. Chemical. It’s a big deal.”

“Yes, sir. Now, there may be blowback from the elements backing Assad.”

“Fuck ’em. Bomb!”

“Such as Iran.”

“Fuck ’em. Bomb! Bomb, bomb, bomb.”

“And Russia.”

“Excuse me?”

“Russia is backing Assad.”

“Fake news.”

“No, sir. Everyone on the planet knows this information.”

“Maybe we should wait. Two weeks, kick it around. Maybe we should see what Hope thinks. Hope!”

“She quit two weeks ago, sir.”

“Hopester!”

“She is in a different state, sir.”

“Hopey!”

“For fuck’s sake.”

“She’s probably in the bathroom. Amazing control on that girl. She goes when she wants to. Holds it in for days. It’s a miracle.”

“Sir, the conflict with the Russians might be ameliorated by, through back channels, alerting them to pull their troops from the sites we intend to destroy.”

“Good idea.”

CELL PHONE DIALING NOISE

“That better not be who I think it is.”

“Mr. President!”

“Da. Is Putin. Hello, The Donald.”

“You gotta be fucking kidding me.”

“President Putin, everything in America is going so, so, so beautifully. The jobs, everything. Trade deals are being made, but I get no credit for at all, but America is winning again and it’s a real compliment to me. How’s the weather in Moscow?”

“Is snowing.”

“Great, snow, the skiing, gloves, wonderful. Listen, Mr. President, we’re gonna shoot some rockets at Syria in a little bit. Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow, who knows? Anyway, your men should duck out of the way.”

“Vhere vill you shoot these rockets?”

“Syria.”

“Is big country. Vhere exactly?”

“You ask the best questions. I got no idea. I’m the big picture guy. All the details, I leave to my staff. Hold on, let me put the Mad Dog on. He can tell you the locations.”

“Holy shit, do not put me on the phone with fucking Putin.”

CALL WAITING NOISE

“Mr. President, we’re gonna call you right back. My pizza’s at the front gate.”

“Vith cheese in crust?”

“Bing bong.”
