Washington: January 16, 2018 ✉️

For the most part, the crowds gathered in major capitals had been quiet as they waited for the latest medical update from Rear Admiral Jackson, the lead White House Doctor, on the President’s condition.

As he finally spoke, a wave of relief swept over both young and old as it was confirmed that the man responsible for the health and safety of billions had passed a test to identify cognitive impairment in Alzheimer patients.

“We thought it was the most appropriate measure”, said the Rear Admiral when answering a question as why the test on “Basics of the United States Constitution” for Washington DC high school freshman had been ignored.

“We simply didn’t see knowledge of the constitution as relevant”, a White House spokesman commented later.

But not everyone listening was happy.

“To be honest, I had hoped that he would forget he was President and spend his day choosing gold leaf for hotel bathrooms” said one of the crowd who was tearing up after hearing that it was a multiple choice test and involved pushing a large button.

And it was generally agreed to be mixed news when the Rear Admiral admitted that President Trump had initially struggled with the clock face test – but when prompted that it was the Doomsday Clock – answered correctly – “one minute to midnight”!
