Trump Wins: A Cautionary Tale

The 2016 election was finally over. After what people called the ugliest, most reprehensible and shameless election in world history, Donald Trump had been elected President of the United States. Donald tried to shake the sleep out of his head and took a long pull on his crack pipe. Then he leaned over and snorted a line of coke off the breasts of one of the Nubian slaves he no longer had to hide. The discovery that a candidate for the US Presidency was a serial sex slaver, specializing in exotic women of color would have finished lesser candidates, but the Donald only experienced a drop of 2 points for a few days and then polled higher than before.

Like most of the two year long electoral debacle the media couldn't or wouldn't explain much of it. The incident in Albany in late September when Trump had bodyguards drag Anderson Cooper on stage, had him stripped and then personally flogged him with a cat o nine seemed to quiet media criticism. Especially after the attorney general of New York was found in several landfills around the state.

Trump had been briefly worried the following week when Time magazine uncovered uncontrovertible evidence of his ties and debts to the Russian mob, KGB and Putin. Pictures of him cavorting with Russian prostitutes on a reviewing stand while dissidents were being pulled apart by horses found there way onto the internet. The story spread wildly over the world but strangely got little play in the US media. His polls sagged briefly but recovered quickly after he issuing a blanket denial of everything and refused to talk of it.

Even when his taxes were leaked showing he was near bankrupcy for the fifth time, his polls held or moved up in some states. The documents showed he was almost wholly owned and controlled by foreign agents, hadn't paid a penny in taxes or given one for charity for more than 10 years and had actually taken as business deductions bribes he paid to IRS agents and Republican politicians. Inexplicably people continued to see him as more truthful and trustworthy than Hillary Clinton who Trump had said had started the Zika virus and was rotting from the inside from venereal diseases from her husband's infidelities. A congressional subcommittee was formed to investigate these charges.

Meanwhile Clinton's campaign was also hampered by large gangs of Aryan skin heads disrupting events with obscene chanting, beating her supporters and targeting the candidate on the podium with what they claimed were only laser pointers. Congressional Republicans responded with several new investigations into Benghazi and her missing emails, claiming the public had a right to know. Gargoylesque surrogate Rudy Gulliani who was offered the attorney general position in a Trump administration promised he would have her water boarded until she confessed or died.

The election stayed close right until the last poll closed. Bags of ballots had simply disappeared. There was evidence of wide spread voting machine hacks many coming from overseas. More than half of swing state precincts were marked by riots, shootings and in one case an elderly Hispanic woman had been hanged who showed up at the wrong polling station. But what finally cost Clinton the election was the low voter turn out. Less than 23% of eligible voters showed up on election day and Trump got 11.5176% percent of them. Pennsylvania, Michigan and Ohio were still burning and under martial law and the Donald had a slight lead in the votes that were found. He felt confident his lead would hold up.

But now that he had won, had proven he was bigger and badder than Obama, Trump was not looking forward to running the country. It frankly seemed like a lot of work and the pay sucked. Pence, that whiny piece of crap was already planning a Christofacsist state and was badgering him about the need for uniforms. Trump had let him order a couple hundred thousand brown shirts from one of his Haitian sweat shops and the same number of jackboots from his cattle rendering plants in India. But this was small potatoes. He was going to need some serious money.

He had woke Wednesday morning to a massive hangover with Melania's divorce papers stapled to his head and a bald swatzika shaved onto both temples. That bitch never could take a joke he thought bitterly. And then there was good old Ivanka threatening him with a massive civil suit over the abuse that had begun when she was a child not to mention the legal bills to contend with hundreds of new legal charges, indictments and suits that had ballooned over the last year.

It was a good thing that he still had the Trump Foundation. Their coffers had filled up almost overnight and he had a sneaky feeling he would require most of it himself. But he hadn't forgot the wall. He had promised a wall and he was going to deliver it. It would be taller, stronger, more beautiful and more heavily armed than originally planned. And it wasn't going to cost near as much as people thought. The entire White House grounds amounted to only 18 acres.

...Is that it presume that if Trump won the Media might actually start investigating him and acting like real journalists. I think that's too improbable a premise for me to buy. I can't imagine a single fantasy future where any news channel would get it into their heads to actually report (or try and report) actual, factual news.

It seems like no matter what crazy or evil thing Trump says or does, no matter how often he lies, changes his story or refuses to answer, it is minimalized or made equivalent to something Hillary was not entirely transparent about. This election shows what happens when false equivalencies do not get challenged for many years. The public ends up thinking that Hillary's emails are the equivalent of Watergate or that Benghazi is the same as Iran Contra. It's totally nuts.
