“Your theory is filled with huge holes.”
“That’s not possible Sir.”
“Nonsense! Look at this weather balloon. It had these big holes, so it fell down from the sky.”
“Yes Sir.”
“Similarly, if the Ozone Layer has huge holes, as you claim it does, should it not have fallen to the ground by now?”
“Errrr….I don’t think it works like that Sir.”
“That is the problem with you FAKE NEWS people, you don’t think! That is why I am the President, and you are just a scientist. I’ve decided, I’m going to make Science great again!”

Make Science fake again I thought it should be…

Made me laugh!
I see he’s started the new year off on top form as well…
He has indeed, his form is ‘topper’ than everyone else’s in the world.
The man sounds like an expert on everything. I wonder what he’s like at picking employees…
Good enough to be tweeted, Anurag 🙂

excellent!!
Thank you so much Jennifer.
Made me smile!
Thank you so much Louise.
Those last words sent chills down my spine.
Mine too!
Nothing he does seems shocking anymore.
Your story is a nicely paced little satire. But Heaven help us if the ginger-haired one ever seriously involves himself in science.
Oh, hang on a minute; that would be the EPA/NASA/NOAA calling…

Dear Anurag,
A lot said…nuff said…too many things have been said.
Shalom,
Rochelle
It made me laugh. Good take. Sad though that it is based in a reality we all have to suffer.
True that. Thank you so much Irene.
A few years ago we would have thought that conversation farcical – today it could be factual!
