Far less than meets the eye

Trump and the leaks. How to fix the problem.


Amateur Brain Surgeon has been putting in a lot of time trying to figure out how to best advise The Donald when he is kicking back at Mar-A-Lago.

 The problem is so difficult that ABS has even put a Tangerine on his head thinking that might help lead to a fruitful conclusion.

And still there was no immediate solution to be found and so ABS went so far as to fully adopt his alter ego, Mighty Joe Young, to try and puzzle out the problems faced by The Donald.



ABS knows it is crucial to his mental health and to his spiritual well being to help The Donald fix what is wrong because the Government only has ABS' best interest at heart.


ABS has been as diligent as he has been determined to help The Donald because America requires a calm and intelligent man to make America great again. 


Then, as the unproductive hours of thought began to accumulate, ABS was forced to consider additional help, but, after some time spent considering the potential consequences, ABS realised that a return to the praxis of the 1960s was likely to be as unproductive as an attempt to find a moral and honest person in Washington DC.


And so ABS went to Cinque Terra, Italy to consult with the mother of Casper but it quickly became evident that there was not a ghost of a chance the answer was to be found there.


And still, inexorably, the gray clouds of chaos and confusion, tinged with the rose of recrimination, began to accumulate and block out the sun over America.



And so ABS then went to the Piemonte Region of Italy to drink and think and still the spurs of his thoughts could but get his metaphorical horse to respond only, Nay.



And so ABS returned to his home in Wellington, Florida and sat and thought while his monkey servant, Jarvis, patiently stood by his side bearing his wine glass but still no solution presented itself.



And as the minutes of thought began to turn into hours of no answer to this perplexing problem, ABS began to get as angry as Mickey Rooney testifying before Congress.




But, ABS knows that anger is largely as unproductive as thinking the solution to the problems of The Donald is to escape into some Papa Smurf world and abandon all contact with reality.


And then, as the hours of unproductive thought began to grow go great that they covered the dozens of empty wine bottles collecting around the recliner of ABS, the answer suddenly came to ABS as fast as Disney turns a young singer into a slut.



The problem for The Donald is leaks.




 And who do you call when you have leaks in The White House?




There, ABS' work is done here.
