A man wearing an MSU Spartans tee shirt and camo cargo shorts presented himself at the Whitehouse at the gate where tourists registered for tours.
"I am very excited to tour the Whitehouse and I was wondering if you could tell me the chances of meeting President Kamala Harris or Vice President Tim Walz?" the man enthused toward the clerk recording names.
The clerk was visibly uncomfortable. "I regret to inform you that you will meet neither. Donald Trump won the last election."
The tourist turned and walked away.
The next morning, the same tourist presented himself again. This time he was wearing a ball-cap promoting a heavy-equipment firm in Reed City. Again he said "I want to sign up for the Whitehouse tour and I was wondering if you could tell me the chances of meeting President Harris or Vice President Walz?".
And once again the clerk responded "I regret to inform you that you will meet neither. Donald Trump won the last election".
Day-after-day the slightly overweight, sunburned tourist presented himself at the gate and every day he received the same response. Each time he turned away wordlessly and walked away.
On Friday, the clerk was overcome with curiosity and her professional demeanor broke. "I keep telling you that Donald Trump is President and not Kamala Harris. So why do you keep coming back?"
The man responded. "It was a miracle. I keep pinching myself to make sure it is not a dream. I could hear you say it a thousand times and it would not be enough."
Agree 100%.
