LAST MONTH, Syria’s new
president, Ahmed al-Sharaa (a.k.a. “Abu Mohammad al-Julani, a.k.a.
“head-chopper”)* met with the U.S. president, Donald Trump and first
lady Melania Trump at the White House without the usual fanfare and ceremony
such a meeting would normally entail. The Trump administration has temporarily1
waived its crippling sanctions regime on Syria following the coup that removed
the not-so-popular-with-the-U.S.
Trump: “You know Al. Can
call you Al? Yah. Look, since last year, I’ve been asking experts, top people, all
the pros you could think of, but it’s never helped. Not one bit. I do
everything they say and still my swing is bupkis. Slices out the wazoo. I don’t
know what’s happened. These last couple of years I’m chopping grass like a
nubie. No. No thanks to those so-called ‘experts’. What do they know. Al, you
don’t golf, do you? No, I suppose not. It’s one big sand trap over there.”
[President Trump chortles] He’s taller than I thought. I wonder what it’s
like to cut somebody’s head off. I’d like to chop a few of those assholes in Congress.
What we need—is guillotines! Why not? I’m President. I could put one on the south
lawn and hack any bastard that gets in my way. Who could stop me? Hey. What am
I whiffing? The towel-head smells like dog shit, or maybe it’s his breath. Well
Sunshine, you’re president over there for now—until Bibi decides to drop a big
turd on your head. ‘Yas massa’ is all I want to hear from you right now. I've got
enough problems. Huge problems! That kike in Jerusalem’s got my nutts in
a vice. How’d he get those pics? Jesus! Who knew the cameras were on! Fucking Jeff.
He calls me his ‘special friend’. Yes, he did. Some friend! Billy Boy took care
of him and his black book or whatever. May you stew in your own juices forever,
you lying bastard! “Say Aphid, lets grab some lunch. I’m starving.
Hah-hah! I can smell the Wendy’s truck from here. Hey, Melania, can you go tell
whoever’s picking up my cheeseburgers to grab their ass and move it! Nothing I
hate more than warmed up meat, mine or anyone else’s! Hah-hah!”
Melania: Men. I am
alone and on stage. Always. They whisper behind their hands about me. I feel
their eyes, like leeches on my body… “Donald! You’ve not ordered “Happy Meals” for our
guest again. Not everyone likes your American food.”
Trump: “Yes, I did
dear. Honestly, for once can you….”
Melania: “No, no, ‘El
Presidenta’, I will see to your disgusting and unhealthy lunch.”
Trump: “Don’t
translate that.” [President Trump speaks to the Syrian president’s English language
translator.] “Dear, please. Not now.”
Melania: “I know, I
know. I go, I go.”
Trump: “Thanks, Babe.”
[The First Lady walks across the room,
stopping to rearrange a flower setting]
Melania: Men. They are
all the same. Wants and needs. Needs and wants…I feel their eyes on me. His are
cold and dark. Donald’s latest toy. A rough-trade jihadi, they tell me. I am
chilled by his presence. Could I have sex with such a man? No. I think not. I
wish he would leave...I was happy as a girl. We had a lovely home in Sevnica.
We’d take picnics in the Na Gavgah forest with its stands of ancient oak trees.
Mother seemed most happy there, I think. She’d laugh and smile so. Tell jokes. I
want to build a cimprana
in the forest, with sweeping eves and plastered walls. I’d paint them sky blue.
And Barron is such a good boy! I want to take him away from all this…whatever
this is. He doesn’t need or want it. Not my Barron. He is Slovene in his blood.
He could make a life there. Raise a family. Make me Babka; I would be
such a good grandmother! I could wear track pants, smoke cigarettes all day.
Bake bread. Play my gosli. Does Donald even know or care? Does he see me
anymore? I don’t know him; maybe I never did. He’s like…. [Intra-cranial
intercept ends as the First Lady leaves the room to greet the Wendys©
delivery van arriving at the West portico].
[Door closes]
Trump: “Women! Eh, Al? Wadda ya
gonna do? You know how it is. Once they grab you by your dick, you’re theirs’s
for life. Am I right? [President al-Shaara chuckles] Tell me, Amen, I hope you don’t
mind me using your Christian name? Call me Donald. Or Mister President. It’s just us two guys here,
talking like men—I guess we’d better use your new name from now on, hah-hah! Tell me, what’s
it like being a terrorist? No, no. I’m serious. You had a rough start, that’s
the story, but you’re on the straight and narrow now. On our side. Yeah. You can’t
change the past. What’s done is done. Hey, how many heads did you chop
off? Between you and me. Any women?” He smells like a goat. I wonder if
these guys' have ever seen a shower stall. You don’t keep chickens in there! Well, maybe Amid does. Hah! [President
Trump smirks]
Al-Sharaa: Ah. Here is the
question. I must answer the unbeliever as the CIA has told me would work best.
I bow and scrape now. Someday, I will return and cut his head from his shoulders. Slowly.
[While
the threat level to President Trump registered as low, as per protocol the Service positioned in hidden recesses within the Oval Office blowgun-trained sharpshooters using darts tipped with deadly
Stonefish neurotoxin to render any target permanently flaccid.] “Mister
President, Donald, it is the Holy Scriptures that tell us women are the holy terrors of
Men.” [Both men chuckle] My Second Wife, Frasha, speaks when spoken to,
otherwise she is silent, save when I take her to bed…”
Trump: “A real
screamer, huh!”
Al-Sharaa: “Yes, but my
First Wife, Alorah, she is the bane of my existence. Donald, she has a tongue that
could cut through steel! The Prophet says we must take the grain and the chaff of
life. Both. So be it. I have, as you American’s say, a 'boy’s night out' whenever I can. I thank you for your wisdom, Mister President. Indeed, we are just
two men talking of manly things.”
Trump: “So, you were a
ISIS terrorist in Iraq, then you moved to Syria and started the ISIL terror
group in Syria. Why the change, Amerde? It’s a big change, moving to another
country and all, going off on your own.”
Al-Sharaa: “Thank you for
your question, Mister President. I left Al-Queda and ISIS in Iraq because I
knew I had gone as far as I could. I destabilized the country and fought the
infidel invad...forgive me, the foreign troops there to a standstill. I am
sorry if me or my fighters harmed any Americans during that time. War is hell,
as they say.”
Trump: “You got that
right, Amon! But why Syria? Why move there?”
Al-Sharaa: I moved to
Syria, really, to be near my home. I grew up in the Golan Heights. My birth
name, ‘el-Julani’ means ‘of the Golan’…”
Trump: “Neat.”
Al-Sharaa: “… and I
wanted to be near the land of my fathers.”
Trump: “You know the
Jews got that now. I gave it to them in my first term. I hope there’s no hard
feelings?”
Al-Sharaa: “I understand
the politics of the matter, Donald.” Filthy pig! May you rot all the rest of your life! “I
had a job to do and I did it. Eventually, we joined forces to defeat the
unbeliever Assad. The Prophet says: ‘If thee has a king in your eye, you must
pluck it out.' Allah be…”
Trump: Did you ever in
your wildest imagination see yourself as president of Syria. You came up like a
bolt of lightning!
Al-Sharaa: “I had help. ErdoÄŸan. Of course, your CIA.
Even the Jews.”
Trump: “Bless their
coal-black hearts!”
Al-Sharaa: “But, Donald,
you asked me whether I have cut heads off unbelievers and troublemakers. I
have. Many heads large and small have rolled beneath my blade. It is the Way we
must follow. Praise to the Prophet.”
Trump: “Yeah, yeah.
That too.” Gawd!
I’m getting a boner just thinking about it. Last summer at a garden party for
Melania. Her birthday. Fifty-fifth. She looks younger every year! Must be good
genes. And her spa treatments. I remember slicing open watermelons with this
big ass kitchen knife. I had a boner sticking out to the moon! “What’s it like,
Ampere, to do that? How does that work? I’ve always wondered.”
Al-Sharaa: Like the CIA
said: Get him on the topic of beheadings and you’ll have him eating out of your
hand. What a fool! "Mister President, I understand that you play video games in
your off-duty time.”
Trump: "Yeah, I’ve been
playing “Call of Duty” quite a bit; some oldies like “Grand Theft Auto” and
“Resident Evil. Why?”
Al-Sharaa: He is so
gullible! “I have one I brought you. It has a highly immersive VR environment.
It’s called “Middle East Mayhem”. It comes with various replica knives and
swords. It’s like you are there, Donald, and it feels so real! My avatar “Jihadi John” chops over forty heads off during a two-hour session. That’s my
record so far. You play on-line with many who were, and are, in the ranks of
God’s armies. I think you will like this game. Do you have time now for me to demonstrate
it to you?”
Trump: “Do I! Oh yeah,
Ahmed! Gawd, yes! Let’s go to my bunker, about ten floors down. It's got lots of room. It
has a juice bar and a year’s supply of cheese doodles. And the VR game console is
one to die for! Military grade!”
Al-Sharaa: “Yes, my
President! About that loan we talked about?”
Trump: Don’t worry
about it, it’s a done deal! I bet I can top your score!” [The President and the
Syrian leader quickly leave the room, accompanied by Secret Service agents.] "Melania! Where's my cheeseburgers!"

transmission…end of transmission…end of transmission…end of transmission…end of
Hah-hah!
CHEERS, JAKE. ___________________________________
* BTW, “al-Julani”
means “of
Golan”, i.e., the Golan Heights in northern Israel. It’s apparently
something done by jihadists on the make to adopt names with biblical references
such as Golan. So, his actual birthname, I don’t know.
When I did a Google search for the
Syrian president’s current alias name, the A.I. generated response was
that Al-Sharra: “probably
refers to some other geographical location.” Come on, A.I., you’re dropping
the ball! You’ll never be able to go ‘full SkyNet’ on us if you can’t do a
search in a quad-trillionth of a second to answer the "al-Shaara" name-game
question. I’ll just have to ask my next-door neighbour what his name means.
1. THE SO-CALLED “Caesar Act” is a law passed during the first Trump
administration which imposed crippling sanctions on Syria during the Bashar
al-Assad presidency. The Trump administration cannot unilaterally repeal the
law. The law can only be revoked by Congress. However, the sanctions can be temporarily waived for a
period of 180 days. Which is what the Trump administration is proposing to do.
