Nation's Satire Writers Having A Hard Time Making Things Up About Trump

"He's always one step ahead of us."

Nation's Satire Writers Having A Hard Time Making Things Up About Trump

Citing just about every aspect of Donald Trump's life, America's writers of satire reported on Friday that they are finding it hard to keep up with the ambitious satirical career of our future President. Though this was not a surprising announcement, it certainly overshadowed Aleppo, just as every other headline this week has.

"I thought [Trump] winning the election would bring in the next Golden Age for satire," reported a clearly shaken up Timothy Brandon, editor in chief of No News Is Good News. "But with every article we write, he seems to take it and run with it. He's always one step ahead of us."

So what does this mean for the future of entertainment in the news?

"Maybe the government will take over," said a desperate and heartbroken writer at Painless Prints who wishes to remain anonymous. "I hate to say it, but if Donald Trump came into our offices right now and applied to write here, we would hire him in a heartbeat. He's that good."

Recently, it appeared that the satire game against Trump was going to make a comeback, with hilarious articles poking fun at his connections to Russia and his popular Twitter account, but, unfortunately for "fake news" sites across the nation, every single piece of information in these articles ended up being completely true.

"We thought we had a great fake Twitter account all set up," explained a social media correspondent from Truth? Magazine. "We wanted to highlight the President-elect's disregard for important issues and his obsession with public image. However, lately we've just been copying and pasting all of Trump's real tweets, and our fanbase loves it. He's made us kind of lazy."

Is this the end of independently-run satire? Will this be just one other thing that Donald Trump runs into the ground?

"I'm just getting sick of it," reported the guy who is writing this article. "Every time I go to write a good satire, it always has to be 'Trump, Trump, Trump.' The King of Comedy. And he's already got such great work out there, I don't feel like I can even compare myself to him. Everything I write is just a Trump wannabe."

"That guy sucks," said Donald Trump, in response to the guy who is writing this article. "Time to retire the boring and unfunny writing. Tucker Atwood's Trump impersonation stinks. Media rigging election!"

See, I just can't compete with that. I'm sorry, everybody.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
