Fictional Interview #6

Gigi, Trump and the Iranian Question
"Can you explain to a DEI knucklehead why you are so foolishly bent on war with Iran," asked Gigi, the journalist.
"You won't ask me such a silly question if you had a big brain like me. You know my cousin worked at MIT," he bragged.
"Your cousin has nothing to do with this. I am asking about Iran," she retorted.
"Are you hoping to put a Trump Tower in Tehran, or carve your image somewhere on the Zagros mountains, or even rename the country Trumpiran?What's your plan? Why Iran?"Gigi insisted.
"I hope you know that Iran wants nuclear power and we have to stop that,"muttered the hater. "Besides, they killed lots and lots of people last week,"he testified.
"But India, Pakistan, Russia, China and even the people who hated JFK also have nuclear power, and their population is only about ten million, so why not Iran with ten times the population?"asked the journalist. "You never heard of the great Persian Empire?" muttered the history buff.
"I went through the Epstein files and not a single Iranian was there
eating babies and hunting for jerky,"she added. "I didn't even see the Pahlavi Crown Prince, in the files, at least not as yet," she added, creating some ambiguity, in case he showed up.
In the files were many billionaires of
various nationalities.
"That is why I have to remove all Black people from museum exhibits, and ban you from the Whitehouse dinner for Governors. You are too woke and crazy," shouted Donalda.
"Do you know that some Iranian hackers have you on video doing bad things to little children?🧒 "said the journalist, in revenge for that quip.
"It's a hoax and a witch hunt. That man Epstein was competing with me for young women and real estate, so I threw him out of Mar a Lago," bragged the Don.
"Well that's better than kicking him down the stairs and burying him on a golf course," she quipped.
Suddenly, a journalist of Iraqi descent appeared with a little brown book, and placed it on a table close to the President.
Gigi, the inquisitive journalist moved closer, just to get a peep at the title - before turning towards the exit.
Lo and behold, it was a book authored by Daniel Paul, a Native American of Mi' kmaq ancestry. The book title caught Gigi's attention for its brevity and wit, and had as its title:
"We were not the Savages"
The journalist smiled. She had enough for the day, being on the beat for several hours.It was time to go home.
