In a shocking move, US President Donald Trump announced that reality TV star Kim Kardashian was his nominee to the newly created office of Vice-Vice President of the United States. In a tweet from the oval office, the President stated, “ANOTHER TRUMP FIRST! AMAZING and TALENTED Kim Kardashian to become FIRST Vice-Vice President of the United States.”
Kardashian’s appointment is widely expected to pass through Congress with bi-partisan support from the lurching masses of patriarchal, libido driven men elected to the majority of its offices. One Senate staffer said, “I wish I could get her into my office for a private interview and review her qualifications prior to the hearing,” and added, “too bad my boss, the Senator, has asked to do that interview himself.”
While it is unknown what duties are included in the office of Vice-Vice President, prominent Georgetown University political scientist Art Krebs points out, “no one knows what the vice president does, so this really won’t be any different.”
Kardashian’s husband, Kanye West, when asked for his reaction to the unexpected news, said to reporters gathered outside of his Los Angeles mansion, “Trump is the greatest president this country has ever known, and freedom loving people everywhere need to download my newest album, Pablo West-Wing, dropping today, to fully comprehend the importance of this moment.”
Kardashian herself has been mostly silent since the announcement, and is believed to be strategizing a response with her family inside the family compound in Beverly Hills. Paparazzi camped outside the location claim to have heard screams of delight and the occasional shout, “White House sleep over party!” While the audio has been confirmed on these statements, the person making these statements from inside the compound is still unknown.
