Trump Diet

The new president elect has a huge job in front of him. He made a lot of claims of things he wants to do to “Make America Great Again” with very little details on exactly what that means. He wants to bring jobs back, an goal that we all can get behind. So I have an idea for this that he might really be able to get behind.
It’s called the Trump Diet. The man is nothing if not a great marketer. He got plenty of people to buy what he was selling, even if they had no idea what that was. Nothing sells better than a diet and nothing usually delivers less.
If Trump could help the country all get healthy it would make America great again. He could put people back to work making the smaller new wardrobes everyone would need if they lost the weight they needed to. Trump knows something about making clothes, be it in foreign countries. He just needs to convince manufacturers to do it here and employ Americans. Oh yeah, some of those people in this country who might sew clothes might be from other countries, but if they live and work here they would pay taxes and spend their non-tax dollars on food and housing that would help the American economy. Taxes, Mr. Trump, you need people to pay taxes if you are going to have any money to run the country.
I know that Trump likes women to be thin. Any woman who is not thin is a “fat slob,” according to him. Since most people in America do not fall into the Trump version of beautiful I would think that he would not even like to govern anyone who needs to lose weight. Then again, there is his inner circle. Newt and Chris could use the Trump Diet more than anyone, and quite frankly so could the President Elect himself.
Forget building a wall, or doing away with health care for all citizens. Make America thin again and you will be a beloved leader. Those red states need you more than ever. Solving the problems of the country is going to be so much harder than you think. So start with the hardest thing of all, a successful diet. If you get enough people to be a healthy weight, then lots of other problems will be reduced too. Health care costs will go down. Absenteeism at work will be reduced. Airlines will spend less on flights because flying thin people is cheeper than flying fat people. Hospitals can only have one size gowns.  
America will go back to the 1950’s, when women were thin and still in the kitchen, not the board room. Men, and by men I mean white men, will run the world. Everyone will know their place. But at least we will be thin and isn’t that great?

    Trump has a lot of bridges to mend, that is for sure. I am looking forward to seeing who his female appointees are (and there better be a lot — of all backgrounds and demographics). It would be nice if he could have programs about health, but I am not sure that is on the top of his agenda.
