John, I laughed through this entire script (cynically of course). Not to diminish your work, but everything “The Donald” does writes its own comedy script. I’ve said numerous times that Saturday Night Live could fire their writers and have their weekly scripts pre written by actual events. In light of the most recent “gift” of a luxury 747, I was so wishing that had occurred before our most recent OWC - a Trojan Horse twist could have been awesome! 😂

Seriously though, this short is typical of your always entertaining work. Lots of laughs and irony. Another good one that I (ironically) enjoyed. 😊

Christmas Joe (Holiday Drama)
Every Time It Snows (Holiday Drama)
Happy Holi-DNA (Holiday Romance)
Let That Pony Run (Family Drama)

I agree Kathy. He is pure comedy. And that is why he is caricatured by so many comedians. I was just playing with the idea of that same notion. It writes itself doesn’t it? Thanks for the read and comments. Love your work too. Keep em coming.

Dear John,
I think much of what the Prez actually says could be taken as comedy Gold. As for the cards test: there's no Captain Colleen Goodwin to confide in here (even one whom herself had made different life choices) so it has to be Elon . . . I believe a mash up is in order. An alien body swap caper feat. Mr Charles Spunt (just for a day) one where everyone knows his name . . .
All best --

Haha... It did cross my mind as I was writing this. He goes up as Prez and comes back as Spunt. You're  a genius JtF. Let's collab.

Dear John,
why not!
Spunt would appreciate it's called a beat sheet. PM me some situations so we can flesh out the bare bones, toss some ideas about, beef burger eating chimps as optional extras. . . .

Hey JtF. I’ll need to put my thinking cap on now. Give me some time to Chuck something together.

Here’s my two cents worth. How about combining Chuck, The Gorilla and Donald into one character. You could call it “Chump”. 😂

Haha… very funny Kathy. A bullshitting gorilla with bad eyesight. Hilarious…
