Story Roundup
Situation Report
Greetings. First, I'd like you to know that I am being treated very well by the Trump administration. Our glorious new President, Donald J. Trump, has been absolutely wonderful, gracious, and kind to me and my fellow Republicans. He loves us very much and we love him.
Now, having said that, I'd like to clarify my position on torture, because I think the media has misconstrued my words in the past. Let me be clear: I fully support the use of torture by our military and intelligence personnel, in accordance with the wishes of our glorious President, Donald J. Trump.
As our glorious President has made clear, ISIS is nothing more than a bunch of sneaky, dirty rats. And in order to get the information we need from their captured fighters, we should do everything in our power, to include using waterboarding, denying them medical care, subjecting them to prolonged sleep deprivation, and forcing them to write confessions for their crimes.
That's what America is all about, and using torture will make America great again, in accordance with the wishes of our glorious President, Donald J. Trump.
