Trump Requests An Uber
by Prabha Kannan
Your Uber is on the way. Carmen (4.5 stars) will arrive in 4 minutes.
4.5? Carmen, when I'm president, I will get your rating up just like I will get America's rating up.
I'm sorry, sir. This is not actually Carmen. This is a just an alert for your Uber's arrival.
Right, but Carmen, your 4.5 rating is terrible. Awful. And it signals a failure of the American economy.
I don't think you understand, I'm not actually Carmen.
Listen to me, Carmen. I am totally filthy rich. I am worth billions. I own hotels. Casinos.
I’m building a space station hotel casino. I have gold bathrooms.
I'm not saying all this to brag, but I paid out more just in divorce settlements than most people will ever see in their lifetime.
Again, I don't mean to brag, but I also have a plane, and I can tell you that Air Force One is a piece of garbage.
My first order as President would be to sell that flying pile of trash.
What does your wealth have to do with the American economy?
Carmen, it means I know how to put Americans to work. I mean real Americans, not those Mexican criminals or Syrian refugees who cross our borders.
Isn't your wife an immigrant?
Carmen, my wife is a hot immigrant. As president I would fast track citizen status to any illegal immigrant who is hot.
We need to make America an international superpower again.
A superpower of hot people?
Exactly. Image is everything. Everything. You can't underestimate its importance. Have you seen the Trump crest, Carmen?
I don't think so. I'm not Carmen.
Carmen, I'm saying we need an American crest. A symbol of our country.
Um, we've got a symbol. It's called the American flag.
Carmen, every single country has a flag. China, Mexico. These countries with flags are beating us.
Those horrible ISIS people have a flag, I think. I read that somewhere.
America needs a crest when we go out and battle ISIS.
What should be on the crest?
I think we need to see what the American people want, but I think a gun is a great symbol of our country. A steak. A voluptuous woman.
Sounds like a mud flap on a truck.
Sure, Carmen. I have a truck. With mud flaps. I have 10 trucks. But we need a strong symbol to battle ISIS. ISIS is bad news. They're. Just. Bad. News.
My campaign manager told me I should emphasize every word in a sentence to get my point across. It makes me sound more forceful and powerful.
Forceful. And. Powerful.
It makes you sound more something, that's for sure.
Look, I'm not even sure why I called an Uber. I have 43 drivers. And 15 Rolls Royces.
More drivers than cars? But you're not bragging.
Exactly, Carmen. I'm totally not bragging. I'm friends with everyone. Everyone I meet always likes me. I work with people in China and Mexico.
And they love me over there. I would be the best global ambassador for America.
I'm sure Mexicans would love you even more after that wall you want to build, right?
It would be an engineering marvel they would admire. But could never ever climb over.
And how would we pay for this wall?
Carmen, I have a tax plan that would save us so much money, and still bring in so much revenue, and increase our GDP, GNP, and maybe even our NRA and HDL by 2, 6, or 12 percent. I don't remember which one.
Do you even know how taxes work? Or cholesterol?
I'm a successful American businessman, Carmen.
I have personally hired tons of smart people to run my businesses for me, including my own daughter, who's really hot.
Gross.
She's a tremendous girl, my daughter.
Stop.
Our veterans are tremendous too, and we treat them like dirt. Like dirt.
Like. Dirt.
Yes, exactly, Carmen. They're wounded and come back, and we can't even take care of them? What a disgrace!
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with you, Mr. Trump.
I'm hearing that exact statement more and more from Americans. Do you agree we need to make America great again?
Yes, I do.
Do you agree we need to take control of our economy and be a bigger international player?
Yeah, that sounds fair to me.
And do you think jobs for Americans should be a priority?
Of course. Always.
Then you and I are on the same page, Carmen.
Holy fuck.
Anything else you'd like to say, Carmen?
Donald, your Uber is arriving now.
