OUT OF SIGHT AND OUT OF MIND : The US navy has responded to the recent order from the White House to conceal the identity of the USS John McCain.
“Seriously? If the order came from the White House than it came from the so called Commander in Chief,” an unidentified source at the Yokosuka base in Japan told LCD Views, “haven’t those idiots ever heard of hoods? We know Donald has a lot of friends who like wearing a certain kind of hood, much to our embarrassment. Surely it would be easier in future just to hood Donald, but not a hood with eyeholes.”
Horse blinders were also suggested to protect the big orange snowflake’s precious little ego. Perhaps just a simple blindfold would suffice?
“Or he could stay home. That would save us all a lot of face. Keep golfing until your impeachment. Or set him up a Truman Show type world? He can be president in there. The ratings would be so, so big, no one has ever seen ratings that big.”
The Truman Show solution to the Trump presidency is a decent one and would be worth however much it costs.
“Do they even think about the impact on the morale of the men and woman serving on that warship? They have to be hidden from sight? This is modern America? We can’t even show our face now.”
But POTUS was not immune to concerns over the feelings of the serving men and women. In particular those serving on a warship named after a veteran who famously endured suffering while serving that his privileged background could have prevented, had he allowed it to.
“Donald is having to rest, now he’s thought about it,” a White House source revealed, “the thought of what his thin skinned, vindictive narcissism may have done to the those serving under his command? It’s caused his bone spurs to flare up real good. People should think about that, the next time, before they casually bite back.”
Plans to cover the entirety of the Statue of Liberty in a giant shawl until Trump has left office are also under consideration, because there’s nothing about the famous lady and what she symbolises that doesn’t upset the old orange fart.
