God Bless America, and how’s everybody? The Year in Review concludes…..

NOVEMBER

Donald Trump was elected president after one of the most contentiou­s and divisive elections in U.S. history. The swaggering real estate billionair­e will take over the country in January. I read about it in the Los Angeles Times and in the Book of Revelation.

Donald Trump gave a gracious victory speech in New York that rallied the stock markets in Asia and in Europe. The response to the election result from around the world was generous and supportive. Syria just agreed to take in 100,000 refugees from Beverly Hills.

DECEMBER

Donald Trump enjoyed a rise in approval ratings as reporters dubbed the post-election stock market rally the Trump Bump. Castro is dead, the stock market hit an all-time high and pot’s legal everywhere it needs to be. It’s just been a month since the election, and already America is great again.

Donald Trump emerged from the elevator at Trump Tower with Kanye West and told reporters they had a very productive meeting. Talk about two peas in a pod. The two men spent most of their hour together discussing all the medication­s they have been prescribed but refuse to take.
