Shortcuts to Receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom

1. Be somewhat famous for something or another.
2. Write a book praising Donald J. Trump in some way.

Take a lesson from Arthur Laffer, who is famous for the Laffer Curve, which purports to prove that lowering taxes on the wealthy somehow increases federal tax revenues. More recently, though, he wrote a book, Trumponomics, with conservative economic commentator Stephen Moore, wherein they lauded the Trump administration's economic policies.

For his efforts, Donald J. Trump will award him that once-prestigious medal, although he thinks the "Laffer Curve" is a baseball pitch of some kind.
