The table is set with fine china, long stem glasses, exquisite silverware and perfectly folded napkins. Nothing appears out of place. This table setting has for decades witnessed rotating groups of people come for its glitz and glam and seeking to indulge in its gluttony. This was Washington D.C. somewhere around January of 2015. For decades, very little had changed except for a slight ripple of disruption in 2008 when the host decided to serve chocolate sorbet instead of the customary vanilla. This was the setting when Donald J. Trump walked into the room and gripped the table cloth with both hands. Over the course of the next year and a half, the guests in the room watched in disbelief as Trump described how he was about to yank this table cloth right off the table. At first, everyone was amused. As time progressed, a few began to fear. Only a few believed this could actually be done.

We are now experiencing a suspension of time itself. On November 8, 2016, Trump followed through and pulled the table cloth off the table in one quick movement. The guests at the table were horrified and shocked. They failed to recognize that Trump pulled off the perfect Clown trick and yanked off the cloth without budging one dish. Not one long stem glass took a tumble. But the dinner guests and a certain percentage of the public have not yet realized this. They still exist in a suspension of time and are certain Trump broke every dish including the chocolate sorbet. They are still gasping in shock and awe to this day. Many immediately stormed out of the room and began plotting how to punish Trump for this disruption.

Trump patiently dropped the cloth, proud of his flawless execution, and walked back to the table to begin eating his two scoops.
