Trump Gets Iran Instructions


White House (Washington, DC) – Kremlin (Moscow)
September 19, 2019

TRUMP: (Anxiously)  Vlad, Vlad, is that you?  Are you there?
PUTIN: (Icily)  Yes, Donald, I am here.  What do you want?
TRUMP: I’ve been calling for days, and, they keep telling me that you can’t come to the phone?
PUTIN: I have been busy, Donald.  Now what do you want?
TRUMP: It’s this whole Iran mess, Vlad, I don’t know what to do?
PUTIN: (Ironically) Oh, so you’re asking me what to do?
TRUMP: Of course, Vlad, who else can I trust?
PUTIN: Well, from what I read in your tweets, you get your foreign policy advice now from that Saudi prince with the flashy name.  Why don’t you ask him?
TRUMP: Oh, Mohammed.  He and Jared are good friends, but I don’t know if I can trust him.  I mean, he told me there was no proof that his agents offed that guy in their embassy, then it turns out it was practically streamed live.  I know you’re the only person I can trust.
PUTIN: Do you really trust me, Donald?
TRUMP: I sure do, Vlad.
PUTIN: If you really trust me you will do what I say, right away.  Will you do that, Donald?
TRUMP: Okay.
PUTIN: Bomb.  Cruise missiles, drones, artillery, planes.  Hit Iran hard.
TRUMP: Really, won’t that start a war, I mean, we’re finally pulling out of the Gulf.
PUTIN: Don’t make me laugh, Donald, when Iran sees this strong response, they will back down right away.  I promise.  (Snickering in background)
TRUMP: But won’t that send oil prices through the roof?
PUTIN: I don’t think so, Donald.  Nobody wants to see oil prices go up. (Puts finger to lips to suppress laughter in room)
TRUMP: Okay, just let me get one of those generals on the line.  Thanks, again, Vlad.  And Vlad, have I ever told you …
PUTIN: Yes, I know, Donald, you think it is “really cool” that I let you call me Vlad and Melania sends her best.  Now hurry up and make that call.
