We kick things off with Donald Trump's brilliant plan to solve the national debt with magic internet money. Then, watch as he plays Santa Claus at a grocery store, handing out Benjamins faster than he hands out indictments.But wait, there's more! Joe Biden gets "trapped" into a speech and professes his love for Hillary Clinton, leaving Bill to awkwardly pat her shoulder and Jill to clap politely.Next up, Trump attempts to resurrect Johnny Carson for better late-night TV, apparently forgetting that even ghosts have standards. Then he performs an impressive gymnastics routine, flip-flopping on early voting faster than you can say "rigged election."Janet Jackson joins the party, offering her expert opinion on Kamala Harris's racial identity, followed by a game of "Who's My Manager?" that'll leave you dizzy.Finally, we preview Biden's upcoming UN speech, where he'll showcase his superpower of staying awake through international snooze-fests.Tune in for a night of political comedy that'll make you grateful for term limits and puzzle over the state of democracy. Remember, folks: in politics, truth is stranger than fiction, and usually less coherent!
