Fictional interview no.5
Greenland is Iceland
Gloria Emeagwali
"Mr Trump, what are you going to do now?" asked the journalist in the blue dress, while suppressing a mocking smile.
"What are you talking about?" blurted
the man with the orange hair and red tie.
"Well you invaded Venezuela and kidnapped its President for oil but who is going to get you that oil if the oil companies say no," she continued.
"No problem - by the time they get
big, big tax free incentives , they would be begging me," blurted the strongman.
"But it's not about taxes or capital if the country is "un-investible" as the Exxon oil tycoon warned you," said the impudent journalist.
"You are low IQ and a low life. You should realize by now that Greenland is now in my pocket. The weak and cowardly Europeans agreed to hand over the territory to me," he boasted. "Mission accomplished in Venezuela. We would continue to blow the heads of those fishermen for the heck of it," he grinned, "but right now Greenland is the deal. In fact x#%x Venezuela."
"So you got Greenland! Well how about that! Saber rattling actually pays! But what about the people of Greenland, do they want you there?" insisted the stubborn journalist.
" Did European countries consult 'the
natives' when they were doing their own conquests all over the place? Macron is a hypocrite to challenge me. In any case, Greenland is just a piece of ice, nothing more than that. That is why it is called Iceland," added the graduate from the renowned Wharton School of Business.
The journalist wanted to ask him why he was so determined to get Greenland if it was only a piece of ice, but she held her tongue. She had another question for the President of the United States and Venezuela.
"Are you planning to build an iron dome in Greenland?"Mr President.
"Yup. It's going to be made of gold not iron, and will be as big as the ballroom I am building at the White House,"he blurted out with pride.
"But Mr President an iron dome is not a regular building with windows and doors but a defense system of short range missiles, equipped with sensors, aimed at destroying drones and rockets" she muttered.
"You see, that is the problem with DEI.
Unintelligent people of low IQ like you
are hired into good positions - but my
mission is to stop that from happening. That is why I removed all protections for minorities yesterday and reversed the 1965 Civil Rights Act a few months ago. Your days as a journalist are numbered," uttered the leader of the hypothetical free world, but this time with a whimper. His medication was losing its potency.
He then shuffled up the stairs to Air Force One, fearfully grasping the rails, to avoid tripping and falling.
To the surprise of all who were within range, the journalist smiled to herself. She became convinced, somehow, wrongly perhaps, that the person whose days were numbered was not herself. She held her head high, and walked away.
