Variety and the NY Review of Books to Revolutionize Cultural reviews… Hires Trump
WikiL:eekZ is Our Name…Satire is Our Game
Yesterday, after reading that Trump talked at length to reporters about the letter he received from Kim Jung Un, Variety struck a deal with Trump to review movies. Hours later, the New York Review of Books hired the President to review books. Both companies said that he would concentrate on foreign affairs, sexual affairs and economic activities.
Trump insisted on a clause that allowed him to write the reviews for each company without actually reading the book (or any book) or seeing the movie he would review.
The companies acquiesced to the unusual contractual wording because they were so impressed by Trump’s detailed explanation of the tone and contents of the letter and his sense of humor and mystery surrounding the contents…all, according to Trump, without reading Kim’s letter!
They felt this approach was extraordinarily unique and ground-breaking. The companies were also intrigued by his blunt desire to monetize the review as he seduced the press and kept them guessing as to what he could possibly be talking about.
He told reporters that the “letter was very nice, very interesting” and asked the press “Oh, would you like to see what was in that letter? How much? How much?” he quipped with the press.
When asked by the press if he could offer a “flavor of what the letter said”, Trump replied: “It was a very interesting letter. At some point, it may be appropriate and maybe I’ll be able to give it to you, maybe.”
“I haven’t seen the letter yet. I purposely didn’t open the letter. I haven’t opened it. I didn’t open it in front of the director. I said, ‘Would you want me to open it?’ He said, ‘You can read it later.’”
Inevitably, this quote from the President led to speculation the Trump possessed X-Ray Vision enabling him to read the letter without actually OPENING it.
