The big court showdown: Ronald Tramp reports from the front row

Ronald Tramp, Elmburg's answer to political entertainment, takes the Trump process apart - bluntly, astutely and with the best humour.

All right, my American friends, it's me, Ronald Tramp, the greatest president of Elmburg - a fantastic country, almost as great as myself. And I have something to say about my hardly less humble colleague, Donald. He seems to enjoy the role of victim a little, doesn't he? You could almost think he thinks the court is one of his properties where he can do whatever he wants. That's completely unfounded of course, nobody would ever think that of me!

Well, the last exchange with Judge Arthur Engoron was like watching a bad reality TV show - I should know, I produced the best shows! Donald, my friend, a court is not a golf course where you make the rules. No amount of "Make Litigation Great Again" is going to help. Engoron admonished him not to make speeches. "This is not a political rally, this is a courtroom," he said. Astute! As if he could stop Donald with that.

And then - brace yourselves - Donald accuses the Democrats of using the judiciary as a weapon. Unimaginable! Who would do something like that? I mean, who would think up something like that? As if the judiciary isn't completely neutral and unbiased like the media. I laugh.

The man in his dark suit and blue tie (a bit unimaginative, isn't it?) actually tries to rebut the charges with the charm of a property salesman - what a tactic! "Everyone got their money back in full," he says. Yeah sure, and I'm the king of Elmburg.

Engoron, apparently not easily impressed, tells Donald's lawyers to get their client "under control". Well, we all know that Donald is as easy to control as a Twitter message - not at all. After all, threatening to negatively impact his testimony score is almost like threatening to take away a multi-billionaire's allowance.

Attorney General Letitia James, oh, she's really going after his wallet - 250 million US dollars! I wonder, would Donald even notice that on his tax returns? It is unclear whether he would have to give up his famous Trump Tower - perhaps he would swap it for a Monopoly street sign.

And while his children - the marvellous Trumps - say they had nothing to do with the accounting (what a surprising twist!), Engoron is threatening consequences that go beyond the previous fines. Donald, meanwhile, sees himself as the most promising Republican for the presidency. He's using the trial as a stage, as if he needed another one.

I tell you, my dears, the show goes on. Let's get some popcorn and watch this process save itself into the next season - I'm sure it will be 'uuuuuge'!

Beetle scandal: Ronald Tramp explains why the 'Hitler Beetle' deserves its name

As the grandiose president of Elmburg, Ronald Tramp, I say to you, there is no reason to rename the Anophthalmus hitleri. It's a matter of scientific stability, folks - we can't keep changing names just because some of you suddenly decide it's no longer 'politically correct'. I mean, look at the little guy, he can't help anything. Besides, if we start renaming everything that doesn't fit into the narrow world view of some, where does it end? Let's stop making such a drama over every little bug…

Comedy in the Oval Office: Sleepy Joe in a duel with genius Jerry

I, Ronald Tramp, the most splendid president of Elmburg, serve you the ultimate satire about Joe "Sleepy" Biden in direct comparison with show legend Jerry Lewis. Jerry made the world laugh, Joe keeps them guessing - or laughing at his staircase skills. Remember, while Jerry was voluntarily funny, Joe delivers unintentional comedy that you can't miss. I'm all about entertainment - and Sleepy Joe is unexpectedly the best purveyor of it. It's time to make comedy in politics great again - let's…

Make power great again: when the Kremlin meets Texan karate kicks

I, Ronald Tramp, the stable genius and glamorous head of Elmburg, explain Trump-style how Putin and Chuck Norris dance in the ring of power in the shadow of my grandiose presence. Chuck can tame a hurricane with a wink, but next to my Twitter following he looks like a kid in a capes. Putin? He's trying to collect countries like I collect golf clubs, but we know who has the better swing here. Let's have a laugh while I demote them both to pawns in my own global game of thrones - Tramp's…

The art of political farce

As Ronald Tramp, Elmburg's brightest leader, I have to laugh when I see how the German left is stumbling without Sahra Wagenknecht. They promise heaven, but can't even finance the ladder. Their visions of the future are like my golf tees: wide, but out of bounds. Wagenknecht's departure is a loss-making business and the party is like a casino without my name on it - lacklustre and unprofitable. Even the best comedy writers in Elmburg couldn't write this political farce any…
