Joke: Donald Trump is sleeping in the White House one night and...

[kerouac2]

Donald Trump is sleeping in the White House one night and wakes up as the ghost of George Washington appears.

Trump asks the ghost, "How can I best serve my country?"

Washington replies, "Never tell a lie."

"I don't think I can do that," says Trump and goes back to sleep.

The next night, the ghost of Thomas Jefferson appears.

Trump again asks, "How can I best serve my country?"

Jefferson replies, "Listen to the people."

Trump says, "Oh! I really don't want to do that," and goes back to sleep.

On the third night, the ghost of Abe Lincoln appears.

Once again Trump asks, "How can I best serve my country?"

Lincoln says, "Go to the theater."

5. I lost it at "how can I best serve my country."

Trump wouldn't ask this. This is how I recast the joke.

Donald Trump is sleeping in the white house and one night he is awakened by the ghost of George Washington.

"George!" Trump says. "People think you're the best president ever, tell me how you did it."

"Never tell a lie," Washington advises.

"Oh George, that's not my management style, that will never work," Trump says, and he goes back to sleep.

The next night Trump is awakened by the ghost of Thomas Jefferson.

"TJ!" Trump says. "You've got a great monument and everybody forgave you for that thing with the n----- slave. Please tell me how you did it."

"Listen to the people," Jefferson advises.

"Oh Tom, that's not my management style, that will never work," Trump says, and he goes back to sleep.

On the third night, Trump is awakened by the ghost of Abraham Lincoln.

"Abe!" Trump says. "You glued the country back together after that whole civil war, everyone loves you, I'm still trying to get them to build a statue of me as nice as the one they made of you on the mall. Please tell me how you did it."

"See a nice show at the theater," Lincoln advises.

6. Ha! If only!

Too bad Trump is such an uncultured boor. He'd never go to the theater, unless the show was all about him.
