Tonight on Fox: Tune in to watch that clueless president and his whacky cabinet tackle global warming

So there I was, taking a few days off from the shieldWALL when I had an epiphany.

Donald Trump isn’t picking a cabinet, he’s casting a reality show. It’s the true-life story of an unqualified reality TV star who runs for president of the United States as a joke and accidentally gets elected. Using the only thing he knows – how to produce television ratings – Trump has his president-elect character proceed to appoint cabinet secretaries and top advisors who are also unqualified for their jobs.

I can hear the dinner table conversation now. “I’m telling you, Ivanka, this will be fantastic TV. This guy doesn’t know anything about government, so he appoints a bunch of other people who don’t know anything and then each week a new problem arises and no one knows what to do about it.

“It will be like F Troop was with bumbling soldiers and bumbling Indians, only we’ll have real bumbling politicians and bumbling advisors and it will be set in present day. We’ll have the bumbling media try to cover the stories and the bumbling public will eat it up.

“This will be a laugh riot, Ivanka. It’s going to be great. If we can get it on between Pawn Stars and Duck Dynasty we’ll get ratings like you won’t believe. Our ratings will be so great we’ll get tired of great ratings.”

The casting call goes out.

Trump finds a guy who hates the EPA and has sued them several times to play the role of EPA director.

He finds another stupid former Texas governor who wants to abolish the Department of Energy – when he can even remember the name of it – to head that department.

He finds the woman behind Amway to run public schools, even though she hates public education.

And on and on down the list.

Back in Trump Tower, he tells his wife, “The best thing is, we can produce this show right here in New York, like we did The Apprentice. There’s no need for us to go to Washington or any of those other places the president goes, like that Camp Whatever up in the woods with its log huts and picnic tables and outhouses and trees.”

I can hear Melania tell him, “Dat ees goot, dahlink. I vahnt to stay here. Leetle Barron von Trumpenstein von’t have to change from hees school and zee shoppink ees much more better here.”

The show will debut at 12 noon (11 a.m. central) on Friday, January 20 on a Fox station near you, brought to you by Exxon-Mobil, Goldman-Sachs, Amway, Breitbart News, the RT (Russian Television) and the companies of Trump International.

It will not be shown in California.
