Trump Staff Gathers around the Campfire

[MineralMan]

Rumors are that it's not just the lights in the West Wing that Trump staffers haven't figured out. Many are saying that they also haven't figured out how to turn the heat on in that drafty old building. So, they've resorted to huddling around an impromptu campfire in the Rotunda to keep warm as they plot their next moves well into the night. Wood from various pieces of old furniture burns pretty well, it seems. At least, Trump can get a cell signal in there to do his tweeting and his phone's backlight provides some cold comfort. They haven't figured out the White House wi-fi either, it seems.

Now, they could have asked some of the maintenance folks who are civil service employees how to get some heat, but that would be admitting that they can't figure it out, and they're reluctant to take advice from those employees for various other reasons. Those civil service employees in the White House aren't like Trump and his staff in some ways.

So, sing a campfire song, boys and girls, and tell a scary story or two. Try a drum circle, too. Soon, it will be daytime again and you can resume pretending that you know what you're doing. The nights are getting shorter, and soon it will be Spring.

1. Is that a copy of the Constitution burning in that fire?

No problem for the Trump Administration.

2. Well, you have to burn some paper to light

the kindling. The Washington Post cut them off from daily delivery because nobody has paid the bill since Obama left.

3. I know this was meant to be cute and must admit I enjoyed it. However, except for the fire and a

couple of other things, I don't think it's terribly far from the truth. This is an inept group and they are winging it..

4. That's what makes writing satire so much fun.

Satire has never been so easy. Thanks, Trump!

5. They don't over half the personnel they need to run the engine of this insane machine.

That they don't know where anything is, besides making me laugh, they can't find light switches. WTF is wrong with these people?

6. I'm having to ask this question on a daily basis.

Ia this The Onion???

7. Yeah, I was about to ask the same.

Again.

8. If I quote from any website, I include the link.

I sometimes post a satirical post I wrote myself. If there's any question about people understanding that it's satire, I make it clear. In this case, the idea that someone would build a campfire in the White House rotunda is so unlikely that I didn't feel it necessary to identify the post as satire.

9. I understand. It's just that this administration is so insane

I wouldn't put anything past them.

It's like we're through the looking glass.
