In a shocking turn of events, the president of the United States has announced that he will be leaving politics to pursue a career in stand-up comedy. Sources close to the president say that he has always been interested in comedy and that he sees this as a natural next step in his career.
The president, who will now be going by the stage name “The Commander-in-Laughs”, has already booked his first gig at a local comedy club in Washington D.C. According to the club’s owner, The Commander-in-Laughs’ debut show has sold out in minutes and the audience is eager to see what kind of comedy chops the former POTUS has to offer.
Some of The Commander-in-Laughs’ material has already leaked online and it’s being met with mixed reviews. One of his jokes goes like this: “Why did the chicken cross the road? To get away from the fake news media!” Some are saying the joke is in poor taste while others are applauding it for being a clever jab at the media.
Regardless of the reception, The Commander-in-Laughs seems determined to make a go of it in the comedy world. He’s already reportedly working on new material and has secured a spot on a late night talk show next month.
Only time will tell if The Commander-in-Laughs has what it takes to be a successful comedian, but one thing is for sure: politics will never be the same without him.
