Protesting Trump

To the masses protesting—I regret to inform you: there’s nothing you can do.

Donald Trump is president. We live in a weird moment in history.
One day, we’ll tell our grandkids that a reality TV star ran the country.

But hey—good news!

You don’t have to worry.
He can’t actually do most of the shit he promised.
Fire all his workers? He’d go broke.
Build a wall? He’d bankrupt himself.
Cut off the U.S. from the world? That’s cutting off his own business.

At worst? He’s annoying for a couple of years.
At best? Maybe he’s smarter than we thought.
Long shot, sure. But give the guy a chance.

If he blows it—well, fuck.

Fool me once.
