Trump Scheduled to Meet Devil at Manhattan Crossroads

Return of soul expected, No change in U.S. politics anticipated
Washington, November 24: Mephistopheles, the prince of darkness, announced today through his press spokesperson, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, that he would meet on Thursday with his old friend President Trump and return to him his soul. The transfer is expected to take place at noon at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 57th Street in the shadow of Trump Tower. The event will be observed by a small audience, selected by the Devil from among Trumps most fervid supporters. Mephistopheles is expected to wear red, Trump orange.
The Devil has been in possession of Trumps soul since 1973, when he met the young real estate heir through their mutual friend, attorney Roy Cohn, described by one colleague as pure evil. Its not known what Trump was paid at the time and there is no record of the transaction in the presidents tax returns, recently published by The New York Times. But its likely that profits from the sale dispersed over many years were offset for tax purposes by losses from Trumps Atlantic City casinos, Doral Country Club and multiple golf courses in the U.S. and Scotland.
The reason for the handover right now is unknown, but scientists have over the last four years observed a distinct cooling of Hades, as well as seasonal ice formation on the River Styx. They have named it the Trump Effect. Longtime ferryboat captain Charon told reporters today: I dont know where the ice is coming from, but it started forming during Trumps inauguration in January 2017. Its gotten so bad that my trips to and from Washington take twice as long as before. Ive had to double my tolls!
Higher transportation costs have cut into the profits of fossil fuel giants Exxon/Mobil, Chevron, and Marathon whose strong sales to Hell have made up for declining profits in the automobile and home energy sectors. Coal, oil and gas are of course essential to keeping Hells fires burning and maintaining the proper level of sulfurous fumes. Lobbyists for the three companies recently obtained from Congress and President Trump increases in the oil depletion allowance to buttress the profitability of business with Hell. Oil deposits discovered in the Arctic Wildlife Refuge, (leases to which were recently approved by Trump), are expected to be piped directly to Hell via a planned Trans-Styx Pipeline.
