THE presidential briefing... they walk in the door one way... they come out the otherside changed. [Satire/Comedy]

It is really hard for anyone to know the truth or how to deal with a situation when critical information is withheld. How can someone elect a person to handle the future when we don't know the information and situations they will need to deal with? How can a person make promises about the future when running for election when they don't have all of the facts?

(remaining image will be saved for the end... it is kind of a punch line)

It is at this point that things take on an interesting twist... A class discussing the use of the time viewing machine has chosen to look back at our current day. It went something like this...

Instructor: Today class we are going to look at the time period just after when Donald J. Trump was elected as the 45th President of the United States.

Student: Wasn't that the place that let people vote for a representative to rule them, but kind of rigged it so that the people only had TWO choices, and those choices were chosen by the select?

Instructor: Yes that is the same place.

Student: It is still hard to believe people lived like that.

Instructor: During this time people were very galvanized at all sorts of in fighting. This was extremely useful to the agenda of the select. They had them fighting over their color. They had them claiming that when one side would win it would be horrible because their would be riots and that side was horrible. That was one of many irrational reasons that they indicated that other side should not win.

Student: Hahaha, I remember that. That was when the side that they were claiming would be horrible and riot if they won actually won anyway. Then the people who claimed that side would riot if they won rioted instead. Kind of like saying, don't let that guy into your house, he'll rob you. Then when he is let into the house, I sneak in an rob them instead. Hahaha.

Instructor: clears throat - well, yes. That is sort of what happened. Trump was elected and the people talking about his followers would riot and there would be turmoil instead rioted and destroyed things instead. That is NOT the purpose of this time viewing.

Instructor looks around to make sure no more side tracking is forthcoming.

Instructor: Trump was elected and had made grandiose claims. This was common of all presidential candidates. Yet as with people before him like Obama, something was about to change. Obama in 2008 had made a lot of promises and claims. Many people at that time had voted for him on some of those promises only to see Obama do exactly the opposite of those claims. So what happened? Did Obama lie and simply tell the people what they wanted to hear to get elected as is the common belief for what candidates typically do? Did he get taken to the proverbial woodshed and have his life, his families life, or other things he found dear threatened unless he complied? Did he get the presidential briefing that scared him so badly he was forced to change his stance on a great many things?

Several students give a knowing chuckle.

Instructor: We know that while people of the time liked to embrace the concept of Occam's Razor which would imply that the simplest thing is often the truth, in this case it was not simply a matter of lying. That would have made things much easier. This was when Trump as with Obama before him would learn about the SELECT.

The scene zooms into Trump in his Orange Presidential Outfit sitting in a chair in some back library.

Trump: So this where you give me those absolutely amazing words about aliens?

Advisor: Yes, though it is not quite what you think.

Trump: These aliens are going to love me. I really know how to deal with people.

Advisor: Sorry Mr. President, but these aliens do not have pussies.

Trump glares

Trump: Can we quit mentioning the 2005 locker room speech with a friend? I was just talking like guys talk.

Advisor: Yes Mr. President. My apologies. I could not resist as what I said is true, and I found it amusing.

Trump: No pussies, so are they all guys then? Do we have a misogynist alien race we have to deal with?

Advisor: No sir. They do not have penises either.

Trump: Dickless? You're shitting me!!

Advisor: Their bark is worse than their bite. This is literal and not a reference to sound.

Trump looks confused, and the advisor looks pleased with this.

Trump: I have the best words. Words are sound. I can deal with this. I have some walls to build, and others to take down.

Advisor: The aliens as you call them have been among us for a very long time. They are in fact not human.

Trump: I'm not shaken. I was ready for this. The reptillian shit, it is true, right?

Advisor: Sometimes in a way. They find Halloween to be their favorite human holiday and a reptillian look is easier for them to go for due to their complexion.

Trump: You mean like a costume? They dress up like reptillians so they can then dress up like reptillians pretending to be humans?

Advisor: No sir, that is a prank done by human servants to muddy the waters so to speak.

Trump: You mean like pollution?

Advisor: Our pollution at least when it comes to CO2 is not pollution to them.

Trump's face reddens a bit in thought.

Trump: Plants crave CO2, it's what their body needs.

Advisor: Exactly Mr. President.

Trump: Plants??!? Are you friggin' kidding me? You expect me to believe that? Where's the camera crew? Is this where the Candid Camera TV show disappeared to? Do you give this speech to presidents and then Allen Funt jumps out of the closet and says "Surprise, you're on candid camera?"

Advisor: No sir.

Trump: This is crazy talk. I should know as I've mastered words and have the best ones.

Advisor: The plants are actually Plantborgs.

Trump: What the fuck is a plantborg?

Advisor: Sentient plants, with mechancical parts to assist them with mobility.

Trump looks stunned

Advisor: Mr. President, they have made an introductory holographic video we are supposed to reveal to every new president.

The video begins to play and the students watching this playback in time watch him go from Orange to White as he get's pale.

Student: That's why we nick named him "The Orange Tree!" I remember falltime stories about him.

Instructor: Please pay attention. This is the moment you've seen before.

Trump: What about deforestation? Isn't all of our clear cutting, and leveling of trees pissing them off?

A few student's laugh

Advisor: No sir, they are happy with that. That is racial cleansing.

Trump: No shit?

Advisor: I assure you sir. They have a gift for you.

Trump perks up a little bit.

Trump: I like gifts. I give the best gifts. You won't believe the gifts I'm going to give to the American people.

Advisor: I am sure sir. They have a rare seed for you. It has an unsual taste and is so rare that only a very SELECT group of people are ever offered them.

Trump looks down at the seed resting in an ornate case being opened and handed to him

Trump: I'm supposed to eat this?

Advisor: Yes sir.

Trump: It looks interesting and I do like to try the best foods, but I'm not exactly hungry after that presentation.

Advisor: I'm afraid I must insist sir. We cannot leave this room until you have eaten the seed. This room has been designed as such.

Trump: Let's get this over with. I have the best bravery.

Trump put's the seed into his mouth and the scene fades

Instructor: That is how Trump became the 10th Selectman of the United States.

Students: Go orange!!!!

Instructor: Yes, he did much to further the agenda of plantkind.

Steem On!
