The Mendoza Line: Allen West says he wants a job from Trump after he's reinstated in August

[TexasTowelie]

We understand that in the current political environment it can be really tough to tell the difference between real news stories and satire, which is precisely why we're letting you know that the Mendoza Line is a weekly work of satire.


WHITEHOUSE, Texas — At a Monday news conference, Allen West upended speculation that he resigned last week as chairman of the Texas Republican Party to run for statewide office.

Instead, West said he'll help former President Donald Trump move back into the White House in August in exchange for a job with his new administration. West's claim follows a report by the New York Times that Trump has told people "he expects he will get reinstated by August.”

“This was a highly strategic decision that came after hours of prayer and contemplation, some of it while resting my head on a MyPillow,” West said about his decision. “It’s why I decided to have the Texas Republican Party’s executive committee meeting here. I am in the town of Whitehouse to announce my plans to move President Trump back into the White House.”

West said Trump contacted him a few weeks ago and said he expected to be reinstated as president this summer through a "big, beautiful" military coup. The former president added that he needed someone to help haul his belongings from Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida to Washington, D.C.
