The Last Day of the Trump Reich

(It’s January 20, 2021. Trump is in the White House bunker with Rudy, Mike Pence, and Mike Pompeo. Melania and Barron have long since departed for Mar-a-Lago. Barr deserted the sinking ship a few days ago, to the disdain of the true believers.

There is a loaded gun on the table. Is it foreshadowing? Of course it is!)

TRUMP: I just don’t understand. Where did we go wrong?

RUDY: Maybe we should have worn masks and pretended to care about stopping the virus.

TRUMP: I hear you, but I just couldn’t do that. My brand is being strong. My father told me always to be strong. Masks are for wimps. I don’t think that was it.

POMPEO: Maybe you should have made more of an effort to feel the people’s pain.

TRUMP: What about my pain? The MSM are always banging on about the virus and dead people. What about me? My pain is much greater than theirs!

PENCE: The problem was that the American people didn’t deserve you. You made America great again, and this is your thanks for it? It’s an outrage!

TRUMP: Yeah, I think that’s it. I think they just got tired of winning so much, and wanted something different.

(An aide bursts through the door)

AIDE: The Bidenistas have reached the White House gate!

TRUMP: How long can you keep them out?

AIDE: Just a few minutes more! (He leaves)

TRUMP: We have to do something! Rudy, go over to the Supreme Court and file something! Amy Coney Barrett will save us! She owes me!

RUDY: It’s too late, boss. The Supremes won’t intervene. Anyway, I can’t even get there at this point.

TRUMP: M & M, any ideas?

POMPEO: You can always retreat to Florida and start working on your comeback. It worked for Nixon. And for Napoleon–sort of.

TRUMP: But I can’t do that. I’d be admitting that I was a loser! I can’t live with that! And the public might ignore my tweets! It’s BAD! It’s more than anyone can bear!

PENCE: I guess that leaves you with just one option. (He points to the gun)

TRUMP: Yeah, I guess you’re right. You’re coming with me, of course. Who wants to go first?

RUDY: I’ll go first. I don’t have any future. I even have the virus. There’s nothing left to lose. (He picks up the gun and blows his brains out)

TRUMP: M & M?

POMPEO: I don’t want to do it. I still have a future. I can run in 2024.

TRUMP: No, you can’t. You’re completely tied to me. You can’t tweet and own the libs the way I do. No one would take you seriously.

POMPEO: You’re probably right. (He shoots himself)

TRUMP: Mike, I guess you’re next.

PENCE: Anything in the service of you and my Lord. (BANG!)

(The aide bursts in again)

AIDE: They’re inside! They’re taking down your pictures and putting up Biden photos! The Andrew Jackson portrait has been removed! Dr. Jill is measuring the curtains in the Oval Office!

TRUMP: It’s time for me to go. (He blows his brains out, and the country is saved for another four years).
