DONALD VS THE CONSTITUTION

Donald is not with the WWE any longer, but his wrestling matches have not ceased...he now wrestles a new foe...the Constitution!

The Players:

DONALD

MELANIA

MIKE PENCE 

DONALD is at his desk in the Oval Office.MIKE PENCE is seated beside the big desk, sharpening pencils.

D:I keep finding this paper on my desk, Mike. Know anything about it? It mentions religion, and that's your department.

MP:Not that I know of. What's it say?

D(reading):'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.'

MP:That's the First Amendment to the Constitution, sir.

D(in disgust)Oh, that...yeah, I recognize it now. I'm used to it starting different, I guess. Gee, the People...something like that.

This damn thing is a pain in my a*s, Mike.

MP:Well, the d--darn thing is sort of a pain in my uh, posterior, also.That part about not getting to establish a religion and making it a law.

D(in a loud whisper):Mike, is there a camera in here?

MP:No, I don't think so, sir.

D:(smiling in his most evil manner):Let's burn it, get rid of it once and for all.

MP(looking horrified):Oh, NO, sir! We can't do that!

D(with a sullen, sulky pout):Why not?

MP:Because that's not the only copy.The original is in the National Archives museum.

D:Climb in the window and get it for me, Mike. We'll burn it together!

MP:It's on the upper floor, sir.

D(dismissively):There's this thing someone invented, Mike. It's called a 'ladder'.

MP:Sir, please-- don't make me--

D(interrupts): Pence, don't be a baby.

MELANIA enters the room, and both of the men fall silent, but continue to look unhappy.

M:What is it, boys?

D(sulkily): Mike won't do something I told him to do. I think that's treason.

MP:(points at DONALD):He wants me to break into the National Archives and steal the Constitution so we--I mean, he--can burn it!

M(patiently):Now, Mike, we've been through this before. You can't make religion mandatory. And Donald, you cannot get rid of the First Amendment. Now, both of you behave. Karen is baking cookies, and if you'll behave, you can have some.

DONALD and MIKE follow her from the room, Each of them stick their tongue out at the other, but neither says any more.

Author's Note

That pesky constitution is reigning DONALD and MIKE in, and they're not happy about it.

Reads like a great sitcom script - but scary enough to be almost a believable secret taping of what goes on behind the scenes. Loved it ... :-)

I have such a rotten bloated belly-full of this stupid administration, I really don't enjoy most diatribes that people write about it. But your brilliant piece is truly a shining example of how to release one's vengeful political angst while still maintaining a great storyline bouncing along with good humor. So many have said so much about this bunch of ingrates, I'm amazed & impressed at how you've dreamed up a totally fresh & original comedy sketch. You could put the late night hosts out of biz (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Well, here in New England, they went well. We are still overwhelmingly 'blue', or Democratic.
The evil orange overlord is NOT popular with us!
He is a hero only to the uptight, sticks up their hind end Republicans--or, RepubliCAN'Ts, as the case may be. The House of Representatives is mostly Democrats, and the Senate is mostly red...
I, myself, am, as an old hippie, a Socialist, so it's all the same to me. The Republicans hate folks like me!
I am doing pretty well, I think, my very dear friend.Thank you so much for your concern.
