SCENE: TRUMP'S OFFICE IN TRUMP TOWER

DT: Kellyanne, I think I should send out a Christmas greeting on Twitter.

KC: Sir, usually presidents don't do that until they're actually, you know, the president.

DT: I don't care. They need to be reminded that I'm the president-elect. People will be doing whatever they do on Christmas and not thinking about me, and that's not OK.

KC: Well, all right; why don't you stand in front of something seasonal and I'll snap a picture. Where's your Christmas tree?

DT: Why would I have one of those?

KC: Umm... How about in your apartment?

DT: Of course not. It would make our decor look common and tacky.

KC: Didn't your son want one?

DT: I think one of his nannies might have put one up in his rooms.

KC: Couldn't we use that?

DT: No. I think he's home, and if we go to his rooms he might want to talk to me or something. Once he even wanted to play catch with me - can you imagine? No, we'll have to find one somewhere else. But I'm not going outside; you know what the wind does to my hair.

KC: (sighing) I think I saw one down in the lobby.

LATER, IN THE TRUMP TOWER LOBBY:

KC: Just stand right over there and I'll take a picture. Maybe you could smile and wave?

DT: (smirks faintly and raises his right fist)

KC: Umm, don't you think a wave would look more, I don't know, festive?

DT: No. I want to look strong. Anyhow, there are some mean people who say things about my fingers. Sad. Losers. Make it quick now; I'm expecting a call from Vlad.

KC: (sighs and snaps photo) OK, there it is. It's ... perfect. I'll take care of it. Merry Christmas, sir.

DT: Huh?
