How come you all are ignoring one of the true downsides to a Trump presidency?

There go the taco trucks we were supposed to get on every corner.

But instead, Trump Steak kiosks. Hear the pre-recorded sizzle! Smell the aerosol attractant! Taste the 100% approved for human consumption meat!

This summer, comedians performing at Just For Laughs were told to talk about something other than Donald Trump because the organizers thought it would make the recordings look dated.

You’ve got four years of hilarity coming your way America.

1. I’ve had a chance to brush up on the Alien and Sedition laws.

I don’t think a prenuptial agreement works the same way as a non-disclosure agreement; if Melania decides to talk Donald will have [del]pay her off[/del] settle a case he can totally win so he can focus on the country. Either or have her killed, it’s not like her nephew is the Holy Roman Emperor or anything.
