Dipshit donnie the human "Monkey's Paw"

In 1902 author W. W. Jacobs wrote a short story of a magic monkey's paw. It bestowed 3 wishes for each owner. But every time the wishes went terribly wrong.

Donnie is that monkey's paw in human form. He wished to win the Presidency and got that wish. But it doesn't seem to have turned out well.

The people around him who directly supported him and wished he would win a lot of those people are now under investigation.

The voters who wished he would be president hoping for a better life are seeing a president who abandoned them the first day. And has gone out of the way to make their lives worse.
