“The best kind of comedy to me is when you make people laugh at things they've never laughed at, and also take a light into the darkened corners of people's minds, exposing them to the light.” – Bill Hicks
The minute you hear the word ‘politics’, an entire set of emotions is immediately triggered, emotions like fear, disappointment, mist-trust, … And there is certainly a reason for that, thousands of years of civilization and we’re yet to see a single political promise being fulfilled.
So it’s easy to forget, that politics is at heart nothing but a circus, as renowned trends analyst Gerald Celente likes to call it: “Politics is just Show-biz with ugly people.”
With that in mind, why not let the circus entertain us for a change?
Talking about showbiz, mention apart deserves Donald Trump, the man absolutely loves taking tough, using strong words, promising strong dominance… So why not take him up on his own words and share some laughs in the process?
That being said, this is first and foremost a comedy and this by no way, shape or form is an endorsement to Mr. Trump’s nor to his adversaries.
You Won’t Believe What Happens If President Trump Were to Keep His Promises!
Have you ever wondered what would happen if Donald Trump were to be elected president? We’ve all heard the controversial claims, the prejudice-based policies, the impractical plans, walls and whatnot… But what would a Trump presidency really look like if he actually tried to commit to his own words?
Getting Away With Torture
Donald Trump walk steadily towards the microphone and announces to the world that he will in fact, stay true to his word and that America is bringing back water-boarding along with “the worst kinds of torture”. He describes in a voice that is the absolute voice of death.
In the air breaths a sentiment of bewilderment and disbelief infused with the lingering memories of how we, as a species used to be embarrassed by these vile and shameful acts that belong far beyond the realm of human decency.
The Bush administration is in total disbelief now as comparisons become Inevitable.
For instance, back in the day, they had to craft several ‘legitimate’ reports supporting the alleged benefits of torture in comparison to Trump’s infamous “even though it doesn’t work” rationale. The contrast as you can see, cannot be any bigger.
So the real question becomes, where do we go from there? Because if this trend get any stronger, then it would be just a matter of time until some president registers torture as a human right.
Keep in mind that the Bush era was the prime of hysteria, we are talking about a time when certain channels were showing images of the same nineteen angry middle-eastern men on repeat for months on end. Not even that was enough, hell, they even had to invent brand new words altogether, e.g. “Enhanced interrogations”.
All of that was just to gain the support of the public of course, and by support I mean tolerance. Millions took it to the street in protest nonetheless.
In retrospect, the question immediately becomes:
What are we supposed to make of Dick Cheney now?
The rest of the world remains in shock as no one seems to be able to understand why the American public voted for someone who bypasses the Geneva Convention and human rights, again.
If only there were some modern examples to learn from.
In the midst of the confusion, Bowe Bergdahl is being thrown out of plane without a parachute on live television.
The term shocking news has never been so accurate. The international community lays incredulous as one would have to take a deep dive in history books to find a historical precedent.
“Let’s fly him over. We’ll dump him right in the middle; throw him out of the plane. Should we give him a parachute or not? I say no.” — Donald Trump.
The bad news is America’s image in the world has just hit historical lows as its citizens went from trying to explain the capital punishment to explain the Trump inquisition.
The good news is that we finally decoded the “again” in ‘Making America Great Again’, apparently it refers to the good old times of pitchforks, wooden stakes and burning witches alive.
And by the way, if thought that our little trip into the twilight zone has gone far enough already, wait until you hear the rest of Trump’s war-crime themed intentions, because you are not going to believe this:
“They care about their lives, don’t kid yourselves. But they say they don’t care about their lives. You have to take out their families.”
Meet The New Boss
Imagine this crazy scene, an American soldier is running around in the desert chasing after the offspring of local suspects through the windblown sands, he finally gets close to one of them and finally tackles a little four year old to the ground.
She falls face down on the ground and starts crying, he turns her around to face him, their eyes meet. He takes a deep breath and points the gun to her head. Click, her heart drops. He holds her close and whispers “sorry kid, I’m just trying to make America great again”. He pulls the trigger and takes her life, president’s orders.
Can you imagine that?
The same of course is true when it comes to murdering the mothers and wives. Normally when a terrorist gang kidnaps a group women forcing them into arranged marriages or selling them into sexual slavery, the normal reaction is feel sorry for these women, it’s a crazy little thing called empathy.
That’s the reason why some brave people try to free these poor souls from time to time, and now Donald comes along telling us that we are supposed to… Murder them? The mind boggled.
You would feel like #Bringbackourgirls happened centuries ago, you would be right, because we pretty much have travel back to the dark ages to find a society where murdering the relatives of your enemy was still within the compass of civility.
The Fifth Horseman Of The Apocalypse
Speaking of ancient measures, Trumps makes another jump into the space-time continuum and changes a 150-year-old cornerstone of American citizenship, birthrights.
The courts obviously attempt to block him, because whether it was African slaves back in 1868 or children of immigrants now, the 14th Amendment solves the same issue: Anyone who is born and raised in America cannot be discriminated against let alone suppressed.
Trump ignores the law of course and keeps his promise instead sending countless men, women and children to what he calls ‘back home’.
Home in this case means no man’s land since most of these poor people only have one citizenship; the American one. Even worse than that, some of them don’t even speak the language of their parents.
The Neo-Nazis are ecstatic, maybe even throwing parties at this point as 'pure breed' is becoming relevant again.
Trumps exceeds himself and now he’s coming for over one billion people, banning all foreign Muslims from entering the United States.
Yet somehow he still gets offended when people call him Xenophobic.
Prejudice is slowly becoming part of the new American way of life as the largest discrimination the world has ever seen is happening right before our eyes.
I stand corrected, the Neo-Nazis are definitely throwing parties.
Not even in their wildest dreams would they have expected to see this type of systematic bigotry taking place in their lifetime. They used to read these things in history books, banning an entire religion, registering them in a database, and now their fantasies have come true.
“It neither kills outright nor inflicts apparent physical harm, yet the extent of its destructive toll is already greater than that of any war, plague, famine, or natural calamity on record - and its potential damage to the quality of human life and the fabric of civilized society is beyond calculation. For that reason this sickness of the soul might well be called the Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse. Its more conventional name, of course, is dehumanization.”
― Ashley Montagu, The Dehumanization Of Man
Walk The Talk, Donald
With so much spending in the first months alone, the president will inevitably face the same situation many of his precedents have experienced in the past, proposing budget cuts to reduce the spending.
More often than not it’s unfortunately education and healthcare that take the biggest hit but if Donald Trump were to keeps his word then it would be the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that would totally disappear.
And since we are on the subject of budget cuts, let us finish with one of the most bizarre of Trump’s promises:
“I would give him a double, probably a double size Big Mac.”
Picture this crazy scene, Chinese president Xi Jinping arrives to the White House after a long and weary flight, he holds his customary joint press conference with the president and starts rehearsing his toast for the habitual State Dinner. Only to find out and much to his surprise there is no State Dinner and that a McDonald’s hamburger is all that he is going to get, tossed to him by the newly elected president of the United States.
And if you think that this is ridiculous enough, wait until you hear what happens next.
Immediately after tossing the burger to his diplomatic counterpart, Donald rolls up his sleeves and starts to aggressively challenge China’s power in the world.
First of all, you would think that the way to achieve ‘greatness’ is to work as hard everybody else if not harder, and not by bullying the competition into being worse that you, but hey! This is the ‘show of Trump’, and this is how he does things. So China, you have got to suck more, because this man is trying to make America great again.
China of course politely declines, plus you can’t really assume any kind of moral authority when you’re throwing a McDonald themed ceremony.
But Trump has a backup plan, and by the way do hold on to your seats because you are not going to see this one coming. His plan consists of the following “cracking down on China’s lax labor and environmental standards”.
You really should have thought about that before banning the environmental protection agency.
This Is Not Gonna End Well
You know when they say that politicians never keep their promises? Well, if Trump wins, then it’s going to be the first time in history where people start begging the president to not keep his promises.

I think it's very clear that I said that wasn't endorsing ANY of his adversaries. That would put her in top position ain't it? So with all due respect, I have nothing to do with Hilary, maybe I should write a comedy about her too.
That being said, I never meant to change anybody's perspective, some people might find his future actions repugnant and despicable and others will find them acceptable. To each their own.
And more importantly, please remember, this is just comedy. And nobody should be above comedy, no president, candidate, king...etc. Otherwise that would make them a dictator, I hope I didn't offend anyone because clearly there is nothing to take offense from. I was just exercising my free speech.
That being said, thanks for the link, maybe it'll inspire me to write a Clinton based one.

I don't know man, as you know I write about a lot of subjects bedore. This one seems to bother people, although there is a large intro written just to explain that this is comedy.
Glad the confusion clears :) I thought for a second that I've accidentally downvoted someone! I'm a firm believer in free speech so that would've sucked :P Anyways, thanks for the support.

If this is going to turn into a political slanderfest about gossip topics just like the mainstream media, I will vote my disapproval. (Just like the whales do for their pet peeves, except my vote doesn't take money away from people.) This is how the left and democrats are fighting this election, using comedians to attack the candidate they don't like. This wasn't an article about debatable policy issues, it was a politically motivated gossipy hitpiece straight out of gawker or the John Oliver show, so I downvoted it.
Any attempt to discuss political facts, news, or policy would be welcomed, but everyone is too scared to lest they offend a whale.

Some whales voted strange due to the fork discussion, but that's definitely not a good example to follow.
Otherwise I'm not aware of whales downvoting because of disagreement. If your reason for the downvote really is the humorous way it's presented, I'd have to downvote your fear mongering posts in the future, because for me those are gossip (hint: I won't).

In case you missed it, there is a ton of this stuff going on:

What do you think these paid trolls do, write intelligent articles about policy? No, they do stuff just like this. The other forums are filled with them, spewing constant waves of it to prevent discussion about the real issues and try to change minds.
I expect a few downvotes on some of my topics, so no big deal. Do what you want, I voted against what is ruining the other sites I frequent.

@tinfoilfedora, "I expect a few downvotes but no big deal" Don't turn this around to me, I will not downvote you, I respect freedom of expression! read above! please don't turn this around me.
I can assure you nobody hired me to do whatever you accuse me of.
I am not fighting an election with left or democrats, I am not a leftie, there is no conspiracy theory going on here, of that I can assure you.
I am not a democrat, and democrats have nothing to do with this. I've never been right nor left, I have a gun control post here where I have been attacked by people just as you're doing right now accusing me of being a conservative.
Point two, there is nothing gossipy about this, ALL and every single one of those were 100% accurate Trump promises documented with links. All I did is imagine a scenario if those promises were implemented.
I respect your opinion to say what you want, but please do not attach me to democrats, to hit pieces, to gossip, to slandering.. Some might call what you're doing slandering, ironic don't you think?
I mean zero gossip! You say there was no policy talk yet ironically all there was is policy , I never gossiped about Mr Trump, his private life, his family, not even his taste of music.
Or if you prefer to, accuse all you want, whatever makes you happy want man.
I'm just giving you the benefit of the doubt to clear out that it's ALL true promises, and this is a 100% comedy, read the first intro, comedy is made for these things.
I don't know what to tell ya it's comedy.
Have a good night sir.

That's politics. It's getting mean this season and there's still 5 months to go...
Do the one about Hillary and maybe I'll believe you.
Until then, it looks exactly like what I said, a gossipy hitpiece from gawker or john oliver. Complete with links and pictures and a little killing kids story with some neo-nazis thrown in to sway opinion. People don't throw in child killing and nazi's to be funny, they do that when they have an agenda.

Are you fucking kidding me @tinfoil??? That's Trump not me Trump. The family killing, the berg bergdahl throwing alive from the airplane... None of that is on me. That fact that me joking about what he promises touched a nerve, is not my problem.
That explain all this hate and slander.
Look man, I can't pick subjects that make you comfortable, I have a right to pick on whatever I want. you don't have the right to restrict me from commenting, you can't tell me what I should mention and what i should ignore, he made those promises so I have the right joke on them.
You wanna stay comfortable, don't read, no body's forcing you to read. You come here you slander me, lie about me, accuse me of working for the enemy, you downvote me and pretend that I'm downvoting you... All that for what?
Because I said something that made you uncomfortable, I have been very understanding so far, I told you to some people it may find this despicable and barbaric and to some it may find this acceptable and I said this:
To each their own.
I didn't try to slander you. I hope you extend me the same courtesy. Or not.
So please, live and let live.
I gave way too much time to this shit. Sir, you have the right to say what you want, and I have the right to say what I want, I even support your right for this all fucked up shit you're accusing me.
Good night. Do your thing. whatever makes you happy. Just chill man!
