Lumbini, Nepal (AP) — For over 2000 years, pilgrims have traveled to the sacred grounds where Buddha was born. But today, perhaps the most famous and powerful guest of all time has turned the quiet monastery located in the Rupandehi District into the media center of the world.

In a press conference broadcast throughout the world, Donald J. Trump resigned his presidency and renounced all business dealings with Russia and China.

“I’ve found my true calling,” said Mr. Trump, as he unveiled the new facade constructed above the Mayadevi Temple. “I’m a people person, always have been, always will be. I realized that it’s not enough to MAGA when I could MEGA (Make Earth Great Again).”
