The Frankenpresident
Dr. Victor Frankenstein still pursued his mad dream of creating life from the dead, but became political. Cackling to himself, working late in the nights, he cobbled together a new body from the dead bodies of previous political leaders. Dr. Frankenstein created the body to be identical to a famous real estate developer, a tabloid figure known for being a playboy, having a gold toilet and his casinos going bankrupt. For the brain, Dr. Frankenstein used his own. (Igor helped.)
One weekend, when visiting someone named Epstein on his private island, the man was put to sleep and replaced by the new Dr. Frankenstein, who loathed the pudgy body, but it was necessary. Dr. Frankenstein returned to the real estate developer’s home. After a week, when no one saw the difference, he declared his candidacy and began campaigning and spending money. Meanwhile, the real estate developer woke on Epstein’s island, unable to leave. He did not mind, as there was a golf course, TV, plenty of diet coke and women.
Dr. Frankenstein was a very entertaining public speaker. He appealed to weary folks who felt half-dead. With a populist message (although he was a millionaire,) Dr. Frankenstein was elected President. Igor became Secretary of State.
Because Dr. Frankenstein did not want anyone to duplicate his feat, he immediately began defunding scientific research of all kinds. Because he wanted more corpses for his work, he defunded healthcare, eliminated even talk of climate change, defunded emergency care. The man who stitched together dead bodies from dubious sources had a thrill when he accused Mayors of opposition parties of corruption and in competence battling crime, and sent armed troops into the streets. He was dreaming of a factory to stitch together more body parts and create a personal police force, also assistants and servants would be good. He renamed the Department of Defense the Department of War, and then had the Navy destroy a speedboat running drugs towards the country.
So if you were wondering about the current political situation, there is a logical explanation.
