Donald Trump has been in the news a lot, don’t you think? But why? Such an obvious question and yet it seems like there’s no clear answer. Well, I had the opportunity to interview Donald Trump and ask him those sort of questions and a whole lot more. In the interview, Mr. Trump seems candid. He is certainly confident. I hope you enjoy this fictitious, and oddly insightful, interview:
Henry Chamberlain: Thank you for doing this interview, Mr. Trump.
Donald Trump: Glad to be here.
HC: I wanted to start with an observation I made some years back. It was on an episode of “The Apprentice.” I remember that you fired a team leader over the name of the brand he chose to use. He went with a name that began with a lower case letter like, or example, he used “munchies,” instead of beginning with an upper case letter, like “Munchies.” You said you couldn’t work with someone who would make such a huge mistake. But it wasn’t a mistake. It was a style choice. You insisted that it was a flat out mistake and that you’d never seen such a style choice made before.
DT: Do we use a lower case letter to begin the word, America? I rest my case.
HC: I have friends who support you.
DT: Of course you do!
HC: I don’t question their integrity or anything like that. What I think has happened is that it’s so easy to get caught up in the hoopla of your campaign.
DT: Look, we’re going to be doing great things, really fantastic stuff.
HC: I liked the interview you did with Jimmy Kimmel.
DT: I like Kimmel.
HC: At least, he was able to bring up the fact that the character of Biff in “Back to the Future” is supposed to be based on you.
DT: Sounds like fun.
HC: I think the problem is that the media does not want to be too hard on you in fear of tearing down such valuable entertainment content. At the end of the day, you’re an entertainment goldmine.
DT: Listen, it’s going to take a gold standard in leadership to get us out of this mess we’re in.
HC: Every time it looks like you’ve stepped on a political landmine, you survive. If the media wanted to focus on your outrageous statements alone, they could. But they keep moving on. Just the one statement you made about viewing thousands of Muslims celebrating on September 11, 2001 would be enough to end the career of most politicians. Just the video of you mocking the disability of a New York Times reporter which you don’t like would be enough to end the career of most politicians.
DT: Look, what this country needs is less of your typical politician. Remember, I am not a politician. I am beholden to no one. When you get me, you get one hundred percent me.
HC: It’s interesting how your outrageous proposals, by default of the media’s inaction, are given credibility. It’s like out of a bad movie to propose a wall along the Mexican border. It’s like out of a bad movie to propose to keep Muslims out of the country.
DT: Listen, these are extraordinary times that demand extraordinary vision.
HC: When do you think your campaign will come to an end?
DT: I’m sorry, I don’t follow.
HC: When will you have had enough fun with this?
DT: Believe me, I’m having a lot of fun. People are having a lot of fun, feeling good about America. I’ve only just begun.
HC: Do you really believe you’ll go head to head with Hillary Clinton?
DT: Please, such a low energy person and with a whole lot of other problems, if you know what I’m saying.
HC: Is there a place for Jeb Bush in a Trump administration?
DT: Ah, a little joke. I appreciate that. Well, you know, I think he’s proven it’s time for him to retire.
HC: Will Trump Force One replace Air Force One?
DT: We’re looking into that.
HC: Thank you for your time, Mr. Trump.
DT: Glad to do it.
Open Letter to Those Protesting the 2016 Presidential Election: Seek Out Your Electors! And Go to Change.org
There is one way out of Trump Nation and that involves galvanizing the individuals chosen to be electors to vote their conscience. Everyone who wants to make a difference, go out and protest and focus on one key message: “Electors, Do The Right Thing. Vote for Hillary Clinton.” Will that work? Hell, yes! That’s working with what you’ve got, within the system. In the United States, we have an electoral college system created by the Founding Fathers of this country. The idea is to assure equal representation between all states.
However, it is possible within this system to end up with one candidate receiving the popular vote while the other candidate ends up receiving the higher number in electoral votes. Here’s where it gets very interesting: according to the Constitution, chosen electors of the Electoral College are the real people who will vote for president, when they meet on December 19 in their respective state capitals. And you can reach out to them now and ask them to vote for Hillary Clinton. The message can be general as well as specific to each elector. Seek them out. Follow these steps right here.
Take it the streets, take it to social media, tell your electors, your fellow Americans who will cast the final vote on Dec. 19th, to vote their conscience. That’s the only route that could prevent Trump Nation. If only the Founding Fathers were here, I am sure they’d agree. It is the only way to turn it around given that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by 200,000.
It’s worth a try, isn’t it? If ever there was a time to break the glass and go for the emergency hatchet, this is it. The Founding Fathers would give that a thumbs up. Trump is a product of the media. So, go out and spread the word to the media. Tell the talk show hosts. Tell anyone who will listen. That’s the best thing I can think to do right now.
For more information, visit change.org. You can sign a petition that will go directly to the Electoral College Electors. Just visit change.org right here.
