Joe is back in the basement, and thinks he is still running. Three or four times a week, they take him to the basement studio, stand him in front of the camera, and tell him he’s doing a remote appearance at a campaign event. Today he has been told he’s addressing a crowd at Boca Raton, and he can’t wait to tell them about how he was the first guy ever to surf at Boca Raton, and taught the locals how to do it.
Exactly. The retirement plan is to recreate the Oval Office in the garage in Delaware, and he’ll go there every day around 10:30, order someone around, talk by phone to an AI bot pretending to be Zalinski, and sign random papers placed before him. They’ll put him back in the house by noon.
“Joe is back in the basement, and thinks he is still running.”
Nobody wants to deliver the news to him.
