“Miller! Stephen Miller! Get in here!”
“Yes, sir. What can I do for you?”
“We have a problem, a bigly big problem.”
“What’s that, sir?”
“Rain!”
“Rain?”
“Yes! Rain!”
“I’m not following you, sir.”
“For a smart guy, Miller, you be stupid. Stooo-pid!”
“Thank you, sir. Tell me how I can help.”
“It rained today during our dedication of the Rose Slab. Melania’s hair got wet.”
“The Rose Slab?”
“Geezuz, Miller. Keep up. We improved the Rose Garden. Now it’s big, beee-yuuu-ti-ful and made of concrete. The Rose Slab.”
“Yessir.”
“I didn’t want rain at my beautiful dedication! Do something! Now!”
“What, sir? We can’t stop the rain, and we can’t change the past.”
“You disappoint me, Miller. We can change the past. We can stop the rain.”
“If you say so, sir. How?”
“I just say it, and that makes it so. And then we fire somebody!”
“OK.”
“Listen closely: It did not rain. It won’t again.”
“Understood. And whom do we fire?”
“Duh! The National Weather Service director. He manipulated rain for political purposes.”
“Obviously. Consider it done.”
