Its All About The New President
The New President believed life was all about him and believed now that he was elected he could prove it. His first days in office were full of news reports about his flurry of executive orders. The news was all about him. As the months crawled by, the top news every day was about Him—his actions, speeches, diplomatic triumphs and disasters, trade wars, golf victories.
None of it directly affected the average person until the Presidential order came one day that everyone had to wear blonde wigs. And spend two hours a week in a tanning salon. And wear a red baseball cap with the new President’s name on it, in gold. People believed in him but became unsettled. They grew more unsettled when paycheques had to be in the President’s digital coin. When the digital coin’s value dropped, many folks declared bankruptcy (also a tradition of the new President.)
Many people began to complain that something was horribly wrong. The new President was important but it was not all about him–for each person, it was about them. Yes, the new President was an extension of all of them, but beyond extreme. To return their lives to normal, they had to rebel. The new President was impeached, no one voting for him to remain in office. The sycophants he hired were all fired, wigs were dumped, the Justice Department obeyed the law and paycheques returned to normal.
The new President was delighted—the actions proved it was all about him, even in rejection. For years he stayed in his mansion, delighting in TV shows about how bad his Presidency had been. Even out of office, it was still all about him.
