"You know, a ventriloquist came through our town with a dummy back in, oh, 1945 or so. Right after the war. Nice guy! The dummy, that is. The ventriloquist was kind of a meanie. We used to play tricks on him, giving him turnip juice and telling him it was moonshine. We were quite the ne'er-do-wells back then. A real gang of rapscallions."

The teleprompter kicked back in.

"As your president, I promise to make sure there is no more death. I will eradicate it for good on day one of my presidency. Why didn't Trump ever do something like this? I'll tell you why: because he is a dummy."

"Oh no," muttered an aide.
