I, Viviane Dupont, a retired housewife from Liège, Belgium, am going to run for president in the US. Here's what motivates me. I would like to register for the next US elections as a presidential candidate. In fact, although I am Belgian, I recently took a DNA test and learned, to my great surprise, that I have 68% Anglo-Saxon genes. Even more surprising, I have cousins currently living in the USA who have been American for several generations. This is somewhat inexplicable, given what my parents told me about my ancestors. I must therefore admit the obvious. The women in my family were not particularly shy, and the US soldiers, when they came to liberate us twice (1914-1918 and 1940-1945), passed through and also liberated Belgian women sexually. It has to be said: they were well-equipped for it. In short, I think I have far more American genes than even Mr. Donald Trump, who is supposedly of Scottish and German descent. Which, however, didn't prevent him from being President of the United States. Now, I don't speak English very well. But I don't think that's too serious. Indeed, thanks to Google Translate, one can work wonders. Moreover, when I hear the speeches of the current US president, a first-year "foreign language" level of English is sufficient. I can, in fact, also say: "He is terrible" or "She is not beautiful" (for Kamala Harris: because, very naively, he imagined himself to be more handsome than her!) or even "I don't like it." Now I'll have to learn to lie like a rug. That will be more difficult. I've always been very honest. But... I can practice and improve quickly in this area. I actually think this is something anyone can do. But I must admit that Mr. Trump is a champion at it. I don't understand how anyone can still believe what he says. For my part, I find it easier to believe the Iranian Revolutionary Guard than him, even though I don't like their treatment of women. You might say I lack the necessary knowledge of geopolitics and economics. Indeed, I'm a retired homemaker. But in the end, it's not so bad, because at least I know I absolutely don't have the required skills (unlike Mr. Trump, who clearly bought his degrees at exorbitant prices), and so I'll surround myself with a team of competent people (not my incompetent friends) and listen to their advice. I want to make it clear that I don't play golf and that I pledge not to demand a monthly salary higher than the average salary in the US. Therefore, I will be much less expensive as president than Mr. Trump. Furthermore, being poor, I had no opportunity to meet Mr. Epstein. Especially since I am neither a pedophile nor a sexual pervert. But, you might ask, what will my electoral platform be? It will be very simple. Its first point will be to let people live their lives without interfering. I have nothing against LGBTQIA+ people. Let them live their lives! I like people in general, and so I'm not going to create a Nazi-like police force to harass Americans of foreign origin. In fact… I think only Native Americans have a legitimate place in the USA. Everyone else is descended from aggressive and illegitimate immigrants who imposed themselves by force and genocide against the First Nations people living on "Turtle Island" before Christopher Columbus arrived. So… I'm not going to get involved in who has the right to live in the USA. The second point of my electoral platform will be to reverse the way political decisions are made. Let me explain. Instead of decisions being made solely by an individual elected based on lies and broken promises, and by his cronies who are just as corrupt as he is, I think political decisions should first be made at the neighborhood, village, small town, etc. level by their inhabitants, according to the principles of direct democracy, and then go up to the highest levels of the US state and finally to the national level. This would prevent Americans from blindly following an individual who offers simple solutions to complex problems, simply because he shouts louder than everyone else, like Hitler in his time. Finally, unlike Mr. Trump, I understand that global warming is actually climate disruption, which is far more serious, and that it can sometimes generate unexpected colder weather, heat waves, floods, and so on. It is therefore crucial to combat its consequences as quickly as possible. As a Belgian citizen, I can contribute significantly to the USA. First of all, it was we Belgians who invented "French fries," not the French. Secondly, as you've just discovered, despite being a small country, we're really good at football. So I could help you find some excellent footballers who have recently become Belgian citizens. And you'll no longer have the humiliation of being beaten 5-2 by a tiny country. We also have many Abbey beers, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. In conclusion, I think that wanting to invade the entire world (and saying so), as well as insulting, kidnapping, or killing the heads of state of other countries, is not a good long-term plan. And that at some point, those who play this game risk finding themselves isolated. Personally, I'd rather be in favor of world peace. Now, you might ask, how am I going to finance my election campaign? Nothing could be simpler. I'm going to ask all Americans disappointed by the current US president to deposit 5 US dollars into my account. Given that the American population currently stands at 348,595,497, the amount raised should be more than enough to finance my election campaign. These are all the reasons that are driving me to want to run for President of the USA. Actually, it's really not a position that interests me at all: too much work, too many responsibilities. I prefer to live peacefully at home with my cats, my rabbits, and my hare. But, well, I see us all in such a bad way with Mr. T in the USA that I think it's urgent to put myself forward for the position of President of the USA before T manages to massacre the entire planet and all forms of life that inhabit it. Viviane Dupont PS Don't give my address to Mr. Trump. Indeed, clearly, he's not all there, and it's best to be wary of people like him.
