When Donald Trump stepped into the White
House Oval Office the day after his inauguration as 45th president of the USA,
he was surprised to find Hillary Clinton already sitting at the desk. Clinton
had decided to take up her post after she realised that the election results
were rigged and sections of the media had deliberately created the fiction
that Trump had won. 'I knew I'd won the election', said Clinton. ‘I spoke to
hundreds of people around the USA in the weeks after the vote and most of them
confirmed that they'd voted for me. Donald Trump's media lackeys, led by Fox
News, thought that by trumpeting out his victory claim they could somehow
deprive the American people of the true winner.’ Even White
House staff knew that Clinton was really the new president, which is why they
let her in on 21 January, once Barack Obama had finally departed for his
vacation at Palm Springs. Said Paulo Ortiz, Chief Usher at the White House,
'Hillary came knocking at the door and I just let her in. It was a no-brainer.
Trump was a bit slow in arriving that morning, obviously thinking he could just
cruise in anytime he wanted.' When Trump saw Clinton, she was already on a
three-way teleconference with Angela Merkel and Theresa May, her counterparts
across the Atlantic, discussing a strategy for raising the status of women and other stuff.
Pokemon Go fanatic and prime minister of Norway, Erna Solberg, was unable to
make the call but intends to sign up for future chats. Clinton already had calls lined up with Madonna and Meryl Streep later in the day. Trump was apoplectic and
raged at the White House staff for kow-towing to Clinton but even he realised
after a while that in a post-truth world there are always winners and losers.
Trump refused point-blank even to acknowledge ex-president Bill Clinton who was
lounging on a couch in one corner, whatsapping Chelsea, who was travelling
abroad.
