I really can’t stay.

No, John Kelly, don’t go just yet. I don’t mind if you called me an idiot. My next chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, was even more mean. He said I was a “terrible human being.”

I’ve got to go away.

Please, Kellyanne Conway, stick around one year more, even if your husband hates me more than Al Gore. You’re the best liar I’ve got, much better than a Russian bot. And now General Jim Mattis has up and quit. It’s over principle, he says, plus he thinks I’m a dimwit.

My mother will start to worry.
