Father of the Year

G20 Summit
Hamburg, Germany
July 7, 1017

IK:       Daddy
DT:      Yes, pumpkin.
IK:       Do you remember 1994?
DT:      Sure.
IK:       And do you remember ...?
DT:      Sweetheart, listen.  I have a lot of important meetings today, so maybe you could get to the point. 
IK:       Okay, it was April 1994, "Take Your Daughter To Work Day."  You were supposed to take me to a staff meeting where you were going to let me fire someone, but your wife at the time, wanted to go to Las Vegas, so that was that.
DT:      Yeah, I kind of remember that, but didn't I ... I thought I ... I made it up to you, right?
IK:       What you said was, "Some day, sweetheart I'll make it up to you, anything you want?"
DT:      Are you sure I never ...
IK:       Here's the deal.  I know you have that Partnership with Africa meeting coming up.
DT:      Yeah, can't wait. So?
IK:       I want to sit in your chair!
DT:      What? 
IK:       All you have to do is say you were busy for a minute.  But I just want to sit in your chair.  Long enough for them to take pictures.  Do you sit next to Trudeau?  Please tell me it isn't that Indian troll.
DT:      Honey.  How's this going to look?  I mean, people are already talking about how you're getting special treatment.
IK:       So now you're worried about what people are saying.  Look, Daddy, you owe me.  Either I get to sit in that chair or I swear I'll tell everyone about ...
DT:      Okay.  You win.  Five minutes, that's it.
IK:       Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy!

Trump Was Expecting Putin To Be Taller

Hamburg, Germany
July 7, 2017

Donald Trump's long anticipated first meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin got off to an awkward start when Trump was temporarily stunned by his Russian counterpart's diminutive stature.  Ready to give Putin one of his now legendary shoulder socket-wrenching handshakes, Trump almost poked Putin in the eye with his outstretched hand, then overcompensated by almost kneeling down to even out their heights.  As he was helped back to his feet, Trump turned to his aides and asked "Is that really him?"  Although Putin's insecurity about his height is well known, Trump was not informed of this by his Russian affairs advisor who was hired on the strength of  a viral story on "hot" Russian women tennis players he penned in his previous post as Breitbart senior editor.  Hours after the meeting, Trump still seemed shaken, "It was so creepy.  I thought it had to be one of those midgets like in the Austin Powers movies.  I can't believe that's the guy who got me elected."
