Orange One

Cabinet selections are being announced on the daily, but the president-elect is thrown for a loop when his pick for Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, has to bow out due to he and his wife expecting twins in the New Year. If you thought overseeing the country’s transportation infrastructure was challenging try having 11 kids and a Fox News show….

While watching his favorite holiday movie featuring “the most unbelievable and amazing cameo ever”, Home Alone 2, inspiration strikes- who better to wrangle the department than Kevin Mccallister? He’s been resourceful from a very young age, and was able to navigate the streets of NYC as a tween in the days before GPS and smart phones moments after landing there for the first time.

When the president is informed that Kevin is in fact a fictional character and is not able to accept the position, he has to settle for Plan B- Father Christmas himself: he is only busy one night out of the year after all, and his efficiency at routing and delivery is world-renowned.

Now the president-elect and a carefully chosen cadre of hangers-on like Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson have to make a pilgrimage to the North Pole to make their pitch, facing obstacles like caribou stampedes and timber wolves, and perhaps even creepy elves, all while rediscovering with childlike glee the true meaning of running the country- constant fear-mongering and personal gain.
