Truth In Satire
Man Who Shares Birthday With Donald Trump Wants To Smash 100 POTUS Piñatas On June 14th
NY writer who says the president “has permanently ruined my birthday” envisions historic Trump-bashing event
A political satirist from New York City who shares a birthday with Donald Trump wants to observe the occasion by whacking and walloping 100 POTUS piñatas.
“Marking this birthday by bashing and bopping candy-filled effigies of the president would give me and everyone born on June 14th tremendous satisfaction,”says the writer, Allan Ishac. “We will never truly be able to enjoy our birthdays again because we share the date with Trump, but at least whomping his likeness will provide well-deserved relief.”
Ishac, who will turn 63 on June 14th (the president will be 73), says that since Trump was elected he avoids telling people the date he was born.
“Once you say you were born on the same day as the moron president, everyone assumes you’re also an idiot, a racist, a misogynist, a pathological liar, a windbag, whatever. It’s a source of constant ridicule, a nightmare.”
Ishac is also asking the government of Mexico, where piñatas are a birthday party staple, to donate the 100 paper mache POTUS effigies to support his important cause.
“Donald Trump is considered ‘el hombre mas malvado del planeta’ in Mexico, basically the worst person in the world,” says Ishac. “And now he’s threatening the country with tariffs and saying that Mexico isn’t our ally. I’m sure they’ll be proud to provide us with plenty of POTUS piñatas so we can poke, pound and pummel them to our hearts’ content.”
Ishac says that if Mexico is willing to supply the Trump piñatas, they can contact him through his Medium account. He would also be willing to hold the event at the Mexican embassy in New York City, or on the set of the Stephen Colbert show, inviting his fellow June 14th birthday sufferers to clobber the piñatas along with him.
“Please, Mexico,” Ishac pleaded, tears in his eyes, “please give us this gift of sweet revenge!”
