My vision for Thanksgiving 2018.

The Oval Office, Monday, November 26, 2018, the first workday after Thanksgiving.  President Donald Trump (R), meets incoming House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), and  incoming Senate Majority Leader Charles (Chuck) Schumer (D-NY.)

******

Schumer: Now that all the disputed districts have been finalized, I think it is pretty clear Democrats are going to have a majority in both Houses, Mr. President. That doesn’t mean we won’t work with you. We aren’t veto-proof, we know that.

Pelosi: It’s been two years Mr. President, and we now agree it is time to Make America Great Again.

Schumer: And we know where to start Mr. President. We are ready to reach across the aisle and with our Republican partners, we will fulfill your greatest election promise. We, the Democrats of Congress, with your help, are ready to repeal and replace Obamacare.

Trump: You’re only ready to take this step because I am the master negotiator. I’m the one with the biggest balls. I stared down that little punk Kim Jong-Il. I stared down that little punk Al Franken. I stared down that little punk Paul Ryan. I’ve got no problem staring down the Democratic Party. So what is your timeline?

Pelosi: First we repeal the Affordable Care Act. And then we replace with a plan that includes great features.

Schumer: We’ll include portability.

Pelosi: We’ll cover all pre-existing conditions.

Schumer: Kids until age 26, no problem.

Pelosi: Medicaid expansion, millions of additional people covered. And a government option across all states.

Schumer: Nancy, don’t forget to tell the President about the individual mandate, we talked about the mandate.

Pelosi: Yes, the mandate. We’ve got to have the mandate. And we pay for it all with a 2% increase in the inheritance tax.

Trump: This is a disaster, this is worse than Obamacare. If you ever pass this I’ll veto it and kick your asses out of Congress.

Schumer: But wait for the best part.

Trump: Best part? There is no best part, this is all terrible. You’re all insane. You’re all fired.

Pelosi: The best part is…

Schumer: …we name it THCAmerica.

Trump: THC?

Pelosi and Schumer: TrumpHealthCare

Trump: I love it. It will be HUGE. Where do I sign?

Well, I can dream, can’t I?
