Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling BEHIND THE SCENES AT THE WHITE HOUSE JANUARY Aide: Mr. President, Russia is paying Afghan militants to kill U.S. soldiers! Trump: That's a democratic hoax! We're going to be fine! FEBRUARY Aide: Mr. President, we have to do something about Russia's bounty on our soldiers! Trump: It's going to disappear. One day, it's like a miracle, it will disappear. MARCH Aide: Mr. President, 15 U.S. soldiers have been killed by Afghan militants and... Trump: Only 15. I like that number. In a couple of days it will be close to zero. That's a pretty good job we've done. APRIL Aide: Mr. President, surely we need to protect our troops! Trump: I don't like protection. Makes us look weak. And it signals disapproval of me! MAY Aide: Mr. President, strong action must be taken against Russia! Trump: Okay, everyone's tired of that! Time to open up! Get Russia into the G7! JUNE Aide: Mr. President, we've thoroughly tested our intelligence on this Russian bounty, and it's been confirmed. Trump: If we did less testing for Russia killing American soldiers, Russia would be killing less American soldiers. Aide #2: Hello, New York Times?
