Somewhere in a parallel universe at a parallel time to our own.
The year was 2011.
It was a decade after the Epstein Island orgies, after the Stormy Daniels "encounter", long after a flirtatious Trump hung out at his beauty pageants in our own universe.
The other universe had no knowledge of these things.
It was much kinder.
There was a Mr. Trump at age 64, and the news media warmly referred to him as "the Donald".
a reality tv star, a real-estate developer.
Nobody even took him seriously.
a parallel Opra even had him as a guest on her show.
As the parallel news media announced the other Trump's foray into the political sphere:
The casino mogul and reality-television star says he's nearing a decision about whether to plunge into the 2012 presidential race. But the most recent polls contain some ominous signs for "The Donald."
"Trump's numbers might not be insurmountable if he didn't have all the problems he would encounter in a campaign; opponents pointing out the massive flip-flops on social issues, on tax issues, on a whole host of policy questions, on abortion."
Is Donald Trump's White House dream over before his campaign can even begin? The casino mogul and reality-television star says he's nearing a decision about whether to plunge into the 2012 presidential race. But the most recent polls contain some ominous news for "The Donald."

But that was a different universe than our own.
How different our universe is.
We have a Mr. Trump, called "orange man", who might as well be the devil incarnate, according to the news media in this universe.
Oh how he is loathed by the FBI.
They raid his home hoping for something, anything, they can pin on him.
The same FBI that raided Hillary Clinton for her illegal server... NOT...
In this universe the FBI cooks up fake crimes and covers up the real ones.
The Hunter Biden laptop -- just russian disinformation we were told, and Trump was a certified, died in the wool russian puppet according to umpteen mocking birds in the intelligence agencies.
Here's to the parallel universe that never existed to start with according to the "ministry of truth".
and here's to a man named Orwell that missed the date on his book.
It should have been "2024" instead of "1984".
