Trump names local supporter new Border Czar

Another Brick (Suit) in the Wall

Make America Gigantic Again: Marnell’s first act as Border Czar will be to repurpose two of the giant naked Trump statues that appeared in various American cities as part of the Crooked and Obscene tour. “To me, they’re sort of like the famous lions that flank the entrance to the New York Public Library, named Patience and Fortitude. My Trumps are named Law and Order. And they make it pretty clear that even when you attack Donald Trump and the MAGA philosophy in the most horrible way possible, he’s going to find a way to turn it to his advantage and win in the end. That’s what makes him a great American, and that’s what people coming into America need to understand about it.”

Every day for eight years, San Diegan Blake Marnell has been wearing a suit made from brick-patterned fabric in order to signal his support for President Trump and what was once his most controversial ambition: building a wall across America’s southern border in an effort to stem illegal immigration. “How good an idea was the Wall?” he asks today. “So good that Kamala Harris said she would keep building it if she were elected president. A wise man once said, ’The best way to conquer your enemy is to make him your friend.’ Looks like President Trump conquered Kamala in the best way possible. And also by winning the election.” Now the President-elect has rewarded Marnell’s “deeply symbolic” support by naming him Border Czar for his second term. “Unlike Kamala, I’ll visit the border often, mostly to check on the kids in cages. Oh wait, that was Obama.”
