It's so comically close to Trump World "reality" that you can't immediately just dismiss it as a joke.
So, President Trump was "trans"ported to a safe location while the White House was detoxified.
It's such a relief that he wasn't infected. He might have made his "trans"ition into a RuPaul contestant.
And then we'd really be screwed.
