    Me: what’cha doing?

    Tom Clancy: I’m writing a submarine theamed thriller and I’m in a spot where one of the main charcters is gonna kill a too-bit KGB agent called Putin.

    Me: You know, in the future Soviet Union has collapsed, Putin is the president of Russia and is about to start world war 3 with a senile US president.

    Tom Clancy: Seems a bit far fetched. Who’s the US president?

    Me: Donald Trump

    Tom Clancy: OH FUCK OFF!

    Tom Clancy: Amateur.

      I used to joke, back in his first term, about going back in time about twenty years from 2018, and trying to convince someone you’re from the future.

      If you’re from the future, who’s the next president, then?

      Bush’s son.

      Jeb?

      No, George Jr. Twice.

      JUNIOR?! That fucking moron got elected?! And what about after him?

      Our first black president, Barack Hussein Obama from Illinois.

      … The American voting public elected a black man called Barack Hussein Obama? You gotta be fucking with me.

      Nope. Two terms, too.

      Suuure. And who was after him? A woman?

      No, Donald Trump.

      Oh fuck off you’re not from the future, you’re just a loon.
