Trump is already facing so many problems here in his second of a planned seven terms. Jeff Bezos, now worth $6 trillion and living on the moon, threatens to leak the identity of yet another Trump lovechild; and Stormy Daniels, who was awarded the vice presidency in a landmark Supreme Court decision handed down by Chief Justice Dale Earnhardt Jr., had her emails hacked by America’s nemeses Canada, France, and the Sovereign California Republic of Facebook.
“I’m too compromised,” Attorney General Kid Rock says. “And I know we repealed every constitutional amendment except the Second. But if I don’t do the right thing, am I really any better than those CNN anchors we exiled to Alaska?”
Trump sighs. “Does this mean I have to let Mueller and Comey out of Guantanamo?” he asks.
But he already knows the answer. Another MUELLER REPORT is on its way.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
My gratitude goes out to everyone, including the Haters and the Losers who made this book a reality.
In particular, thank you to Jofie Ferrari-Adler, my brilliant editor, whose expert suggestions and editorial wisdom ensured that this book would not be a Total Mess; Daniel Greenberg, my agent, for taking a chance on a Very Dishonest and Highly Unemployed writer; the generous David Litt, for setting this whole thing up; and my old friend Jonathan Weed, who read some truly wretched pages and offered typically wise recommendations.
Thank you to my mom and dad for thirty-two years of uninterrupted love and support. And thank you to my wife, Chandler, whose optimism, encouragement, laughter, and breakfast tacos keep me going.
Finally, I would like to thank you, dear reader, and to leave you with a final request: Please vote in any and all upcoming elections. Thank you.
