The Great Capitol Drama: A Lesson in Political Entertainment
Ronald Tramp comments: How to master politics and show in one
Well, let me, Ronald Tramp, President of the great country of Elmburg, tell you a story that is so incredible that it can only be true. It's about my almost namesake, Donald Trump, the former President of the United States. As you know, he got into a little, shall we say, entanglement. People are saying he incited his supporters to storm the Capitol. I mean, who would have thought that? Donald Trump, an instigator? As surprising as snow in winter!
Do you remember 6 January 2021? A group of Trump supporters, as enthusiastic as teenagers at a pop concert, decided to pay a visit to the Capitol. Well, I guess they forgot the invitations. They say there were deaths and injuries. A real drama, like something out of a Hollywood film. And do you know who's at the centre of this drama? That's right, our good old Donald.
But wait, it gets even better. Now Trump is facing several civil lawsuits. A US appeals court says, "Hey, just because you were president doesn't mean you're above the law." Well, that's a novel idea! Imagine, a president who is accountable for his actions. Revolutionary!
And Donald, he is of course the best, the greatest, the infallible. He says: "My statements were part of my duties as president." Oh, Donald, you old rogue! You know how to talk your way out of things. I mean, who wouldn't think that inciting crowds is an official presidential duty? Almost as important as cutting red ribbons or shaking hands with other heads of state.
However, the court says, "No, no, Donald. Campaigning is not an official presidential act." That's like saying superheroes aren't real heroes because they don't have an official licence. But Donald, he's unflappable. He claims to enjoy immunity. A bit like Superman, except his kryptonite is the truth.
Well, the Justice Department agrees with the court. They say incitement to private violence is not a president's job. I know, shocking, isn't it? Apparently they forgot to mention that in the job description.
But wait, there's more. This whole thing could affect the immunity of future presidents. That's like saying future presidents could actually be responsible for what they do. A whole new era! Imagine, politicians accountable for their actions. What's next? Honesty in the election campaign?
But let's be realistic. Here in Elmburg, under my fabulous leadership, such things could never happen. We're too busy being great to concern ourselves with such trivialities as court cases. So, as we watch the drama unfold in the US, we sit back, enjoy a glass of our famous Elmburg wines and laugh at the absurdity of politics. Because, ladies and gentlemen, that's what true political enjoyment is!
