SATIRE ALERT!*
In a late-night tweet issued from his headquarters at Trump Tower, president-elect Donald Trump announced that he has selected
The Mouth of Sauron as his Press Secretary.
Since the fall of
Sauron and the relocation of
the Dark Tower of Barad-Dûr to midtown Manhattan, The Mouth of Sauron has been working as a senior advisor to Alex Jones at Infowars.com. Asked whether his ability to serve as president-elect Trump's press secretary would be adversely affected by the fact that Aragorn cut off his head, The Mouth of Sauron denied that a functioning head was a requirement for service in a Trump administration. He will assume the position following the inauguration of the new president on January 20th.
Have a good day. More thoughts - satirical and otherwise - coming.

* Apologies to those of you who already saw this on my Facebook page. I decided to push it out to a larger audience.
"He will assume the position..." I think we're ALL gonna have to do that. :-(
ReplyDeleteAnother appointee to shudder at! At least he's not Jeff Sessions. :-(
ReplyDeleteI wonder whether Mama will wake me up on Jan. 1 and tell me it's only a nightmare.
Great take on things, Bilbo! He sounds like the ideal Trumpian flack.
Why not Darth Vader? Or is he not wealthy enough?
ReplyDeleteWe are in for a plutocracy. And I don't mean Pluto, the dog!
So we get to listen to Sauron and his siren Kellyanne for four years? (Notice I didn't eight years. I still have a ray of distant hope.)
ReplyDeleteExcellent, just excellent!
ReplyDeleteI remember a wonderful audio version of the trilogy, done by the BBC many years ago (I had it on cassette until the cassettes died) that had a line about the mouth of Sauron: No story or history recorded his name because he had forgotten it.
10 votes for the American Electorate for the obvious reasons...
We're in for times that try men's souls.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to vote. 10 votes for the AE.
