\u00a0This is extremely important. \u00a0So, I asked a bunch of them and here are the answers I got.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Please answer the following question: \u00a0Why do you want to be President of the United States?<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Donald Trump: \u00a0\u201cSeveral reasons. \u00a0One, me. \u00a0Two, Joe Biden is a creep. \u00a0Three, me. \u00a0Four, Rosie O\u2019Donnell is fat. \u00a0Five, me. \u00a0Six, is somebody else running? \u00a0Seven, me. \u00a0Eight, Europeans are creeps, too. \u00a0Nine, me.\u201d \u00a0Yeah! \u00a0Woo-hoo!<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Ron DeSantis: \u00a0\u201cWill somebody PLEASE tell me when I EVER said I wanted to be President???\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Joe Biden: \u00a0\u201cWell, I want to run for Sena&#8211;, uh, President again for many reasons. \u00a0(Please hand me that paper over there so I can know where to sit\u2026.thank you.) \u00a0Number one, Jill likes being First Doctor and eating tacos and she likes Delaware Avenue. \u00a0Number two, Hunter spends a lot of money, and he likes taking trips to China, our family\u2019s favorite country. \u00a0He needs a new laptop, he can\u2019t remember where he left his last one. \u00a0The Republicans are also looking for it, but, well, they are Republicans, they can\u2019t find their butts with both hands, so they\u2019ll never find it. \u00a0He can buy a new iPhone in Zhengzhou, too, if those ungrateful Chinese people will quit protesting the nice Mr. Xi\u2019s lockdowns (we\u2019ll do those again here soon). \u00a0Number four, I think Venezuela has really nice people\u2014so many of them are in America now\u2014and I want to help them by drilling oil there. \u00a0 \u00a0Saudi Arabia and Iran, too. \u00a0Number five, Ukraine needs several hundred billion dollars more. \u00a0President Zelensky wants some new T-shirts. \u00a0I don\u2019t know what else they are doing with the funds we send them, but I\u2019m sure it\u2019s honest, Ukraine has the most trustworthy government in the world. \u00a0Number five, Trump won in 2016 because Gorbachin, um, Hitlin bought the election for him, so we\u2019ll give that money to the Ukrainians. \u00a0Number eight, I\u2019m 80 years old now, it\u2019s nice to be able to run\u2026anywhere, haha. \u00a0Number seven, my whole staff tells me that all the American people love me and want me for six more years. \u00a0I\u2019m sure that\u2019s true. \u00a0That\u2019s all.\u201d (Turns to shake hands with somebody who isn\u2019t there\u2026)<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Kamala Harris: \u00a0(giggle, giggle, giggle\u2026giggle some more\u2026giggle\u2026) \u00a0If Joe doesn\u2019t want to run again, I may run because the President of the United States is the President, you know, and the President gets to do things that a President does. \u00a0So being President will, you know, allow me to do things that only a President can do and that I think Presidents need to do. \u00a0Yes, being President would be very Presidential.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Hillary Clinton: \u00a0\u201cBill was President, so why can\u2019t I be?

Johnson: \u00a0\u201cHey, you got a senile, doddering old dolt with one foot in the grave right now in the White House, why can\u2019t a real dead man be President? \u00a0Besides, I\u2019ll get all the dead peoples\u2019 votes. \u00a0I always did before\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Xi Jinping: \u00a0\u201cWhat? \u00a0I already am.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Mark Lewis: \u00a0\u201cCan I be President and still live in Thailand?&#8230;.Then, forget it\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">So, there you have it. \u00a0I don\u2019t really want to be President, but, wow, we certainly have a lot of awesome candidates to choose from based on the answers above. \u00a0Don\u2019t you agree?<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em>Christmas is coming!
