BREAKING NEWS:
President Trump and Former VP Joe Biden spoke on the phone last night to discuss the Coronavirus Crisis.
Mr. Biden brought up a number of concerns and suggestions. President Trump assured Mr. Biden that most of his suggestions had already been addressed and that everything that could be done was already in place.
Mr. Biden offered his services to help in the crisis and the President told him that there was one critical area he might be able to help. President Trump indicated that with all of the urgent priorities his administration was dealing with there was one critical medical item that was in very short supply, Tongue Depressors. It was of absolute importantance that this shortage be dealt with as it turns out most were coming from China and they had cut the U.S. supplies off.
President Trump indicated that if Mr. Biden were serious in his offer of help he would appoint him as a Medical Procurement Czar for Tongue Depressors. Mr. Biden jumped at the chance and said he was honored to help.
The President told Mr. Biden that there was a need for at least 200 Million Tongue Depressors and that his job would be to find a new source of supply either in the U.S. or possibly Canada or South America.
The discussion centered on whether to have one time use wooden depressors or re-useable plastic ones that could be sterilized for reuse. Mr. Biden indicated he would put together a task force to look into all of this. The President said Mr. Biden would work out of his Bunker office in Delaware and assemble his own staff.
To aid Mr. Biden in his task the President directed Lt. General Frank Armstrong, commander of the White House Air Fleet, to make a plane and a helicopter available for the former Vice President. General Armstrong, when interviewed, said that a Boeing 707 in mothballs was being readied for the Former Vice President.
Mr. Biden was eager to get started and said he would suspend his Presidential Campaign immediately to take on his new position. Mr. Biden indicated he would resume his campaign in and around October 1st after the crisis has passed.
Well to those of you who enjoyed the satire thank you. I did not post this yesterday because it was only late last night I thought of it.
When I saw the absurd notion of Biden wanting to talk to Trump on the crisis then one thing led to another and I tried to think of the most idiot thing that Biden could help with, i.e., tongue depressors although someone suggested rectal thermometers.
I see no W.W. II buffs caught the name Lt. General Frank Armstrong. General Armstrong in real life was a Army Air Corps Commander and Leader in the 8th Air Force in England.
He was the real life inspiration for the book, movie and TV show “Twelve O’Clock High” and the fictional General Frank Savage.
Thanks!
BRAVO!
