Breaking News from the Oval Office!
The Don will be back and apparently has not only the codes for the nuclear weapons, but also the blueprints for the White House made of Lego in his luggage. Experts fear a „border wall“ made of Duplo bricks around the Rose Garden and an „Executive Order“ prohibiting the construction of miniature Mexicans.
„We’re going to build the greatest Lego house of all time!“ Trump blared at his inauguration, while trying to force a 2×4 brick into a round hole. „And believe me, nobody builds better with Lego than me! I have the best bricks, the most beautiful colors, really fantastic!“
The reactions from the Lego world were not long in coming. The Danish company immediately distanced itself from Trump’s plans and emphasized in a statement that Lego stands for creativity, diversity and peaceful coexistence – values that do not seem to be compatible with the new president.
But Trump is undeterred. Rumor has it that he is already planning to build a giant Trump Tower out of gold Lego bricks that will dwarf the White House. The project is to be financed by the sale of „Make America Great Again“ caps in minifigure format.
Fear is rife in the Lego world. Parents fear that their children will soon only want to build walls and towers. Educators warn of a decline in imagination and creativity. And the Lego figures themselves? They are already organizing themselves into unions and threatening to strike if their working conditions are not improved.
„We refuse to be part of this dystopian Lego world!“ announced a spokesman for the Lego union. „We demand fair wages, regulated working hours and an end to the discrimination of colorful bricks!“
What the future holds? Uncertain. But one thing is certain: With Trump in the White House, it will never be boring in the Lego world again. And who knows, maybe everything will turn out well after all. Maybe Trump will discover his love for colorful bricks and end up building a beautiful, colorful world – without walls and towers.
One can still dream…
