Wow. You got me for a minute. But that’s because Alex Jones would fit in so well with his other picks. By the way. Have you read how Scotsmen are reacting to his golf course? Can’t wait for you to have a go at that one.

This is one of those pieces that practically wrote itself after I saw the Matt Gaetz nomination. What next, I wondered? Alex Jones? I haven’t seen the Scotsmen fallout yet but will check it out. Thanks for reading and weighing in. Much appreciated!

I can’t recall where I saw it but it was in the last day or two. Hilarious

You got me too, Andrew! The thing is, it isn't far-fetched. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Trump put him in charge of the media. I hope he doesn't read this and think, what a great idea!

Thanks, Deborah. That occurred to me too. As much as I’d like a larger audience, I wouldn’t that idea to spread to the wrong folks. Thanks for sharing your response. Much appreciated!

Whew, things are so crazy it took a minute to catch on. Effective sattire is hard to do, and you pulled it off brilliantly!

Many thanks, Carol. When you consider the other nominees so far, this one is not inconceivable. I’m having trouble finding compassion for the poor guy who lost his law license for being an unscrupulous shill, though. Thanks for reading and sharing your response!

Andrew, you scared me - I stopped reading and dashed to NYT and the Guardian for confirmation, and there was none. I even went beyond the main headlines searching. For once, in a long time, satire out-trumps Trump's actuality...just barely.

Sorry to scare you, but yes this one does cut a little close to the bone. Thanks so much for taking the time to read and share your response. I really appreciate it!
