Satire: “Intended to do more than just entertain; it tries to improve humanity and its institutions.”
Another appropriate sketch….
SKETCH: The Many Hats of Dictator Donald
SCENE: Two sports commentators provide color commentary for Trump while he gives a speech from the podium.
COMMENTATOR JIM: Well Bob, I see Trump has brought a few of his hats today.
COMMENTATOR BOB: Yeah Jim, you never know with The Grifter what hat he’ll wear at any given moment. Should be exciting!
JIM: OK here we go! Trump leads with the Fascist MAGA hat, throwing some classic Fascist jabs… calling Liberals, Democrats, illegal immigrants and Blacks, all America’s enemies. He says speech that isn’t his own should be censored. Next, he gives a few sexist female remarks, followed by some inflammatory fear-mongering comments about the same people effecting national security, oh and they all hate Christianity.
BOB: Classic Fascist playbook, Jim.
JIM: Whoops. Now Trump has switched to his Mao green beret with red star Commie hat, talking about his new Ministry of Truth, and whoa, he wants to nationalize private sector company, Lockheed Martin. Wow, didn’t see that one coming. Did you, Bob?
BOB: Quite the change-up reversal there Jim, or should I say, Comrade.
JIM: Ha! Good one, Bob. Wait, Trump is now putting on a Generals hat, dark sunglasses and accompanying jacket. Lots of medals.
BOB: He’s talking about using the military to invade our Blue State cities. I don’t know, Jim. Military dictator junta hat?
JIM: Looks like it, Bob… Wait. Now Trump is trying to fit all three hats onto his head, while waving the American flag. Quite the juggler. Oops, I see a Made in China tag on the flag. Mix signals there aye Bob.
BOB: I’ll say Jim… Trump has taken dictator to a whole new level!
JIM: Right you are Bob. Hey, let’s go to commercial. Remember folks, every product you see today is a genuine Trump product. And they are The Greatest! Buy them today!

SKIT… A Satire Commercial Moment… Trump The Grifter “THE GRIFTS NEVER END!”
SCENE: Trump stands in front of the White House shilling Musk’s truck.
TRUMP: Come on down to MY White House, where the grifts never end!! We got your crypto coins, MAGA paraphernalia made in China, In Trump We Trust Bibles, 5 million dollar visas, my perpetual Legal Defense Fund, Musk’s ugly truck, a cool new Arab luxury plane, AND my exclusive tariff money that I’ll sell back at only twice the price. Come on down! But only if you have sworn an allegiance to ME!
Sycophants Ludnick, Vance, Musk and even sons, Don Jr. and Eric, shove there way forward, carrying big shit-eating grins and waving Made in China American flags shouting, “The Grifts Never End !”.
Trump then shoves them all aside because they’re taking up his space.
TRUMP: Remember… Make America Mine!
Sheer genius !
