It was 1993, a year that saw the births of Chance the Rapper and Ariana Grande, as well as the deaths of Dizzy Gillespie and Audrey Hepburn -- later reincarnated as Chance the Rapper.
On the political front, President George H.W. Bush was leaving office and a fresh-faced Arkansan named Bill Clinton was ready to take the reins.
But before he left, Bush wrote Clinton a charming exit letter wishing the new president luck. It resurfaced this week and spread across the web.
Even though the men were members of opposing political parties, there was a sense of respect and goodwill in the letter that is hard to imagine in today's political landscape.
It got us thinking: what would President Donald Trump's letter to his successor look like? We believe it would, unfortunately, go a little something like this:
Transcript of the letter:
Dear guy in my shadow,
It was a tremendous privilege and honor for the American people to have me as their president! Unfortunately, due to term limits, I won’t be acting as commander in chief for the rest of my natural life, voted in every four years, each time by a greater and more significant margin, and each time with a younger and more beautiful wife.
Congratulations on this fantastic position, made more fantastic by me having occupied it! I'm sure America will welcome you with open arms as well as loaded arms since I gave everyone a free semi automatic weapon. Even babies! Oh the beautiful babies and their little fingers on the triggers, it's so beautiful!
You know, past presidents say it's a lonely job, but let's be honest, it's because they were very very ugly and no one wanted to be around them, very sad! This has been an outstanding presidency, I've been a spectacular president, one of the best my people tell me, and I don't regret for a second adding my face to Mount Rushmore.
My cabinet members were top notch, especially Ivanka, easily the hottest Secretary Of State in history. I'll deeply miss the White House staff who were just terrific people, terrific outstanding poor people. I created so many jobs for them while in office, it's simply incredible. And very rarely did they have to be taken out and roughed up!
By the way, if you need an African American guy, I know a great one. He’s my personal African American guy and he's absolutely fantastic. You won't be disappointed. Absolute top of the line African American guy.
I hope you like the redecorating my people did to the place. I hope you'll feel comfortable. You can't put a price on comfort, and this comfort cost about 25 million dollars, which I paid for myself out of my own pocket.
I'm leaving with the lowest approval rating in the history of mathematics, but you know the media and these sad pollsters are very much out to get me. It's so sad, tragic really.
Hold on, there's a Mexican guy outside my window who doesn't seem nearly as afraid of me as he should.
Anyway, I'm rooting for you, and I'm sure you'll do tremendous work! It's just a shame that you had to serve after someone so successful. By the way, my beautiful wife Melania the very beautiful model says she would love to spend time with your spouse and give them beauty tips. I think they would benefit tremendously!
Sincerely,
Donald J. Trump
PS - I've trademarked “President“ so we'll have to think of a new term for America's leader. You'll have a 3 month grace period to make the transition before I take legal action!
