The Republican National Committee today announced that it thought it was nominating Donald J. Trump to be president of the GOP’s new Canine Appreciation Club, not president of the United States of America. RNC head Reince Priebus told reporters, “You heard right at our convention. We all think Donald Trump has the skills, character, and vision to be a very effective president–president of the new branch we’re starting to encourage dog stewardship. That’s what we meant.” Priebus said that a survey of Republican delegates found that 98% thought they were nominating Trump for the chief dog advocate post; the other two percent were distracted by bright lights in the convention hall. “I was surprised by the law and order theme of Trump’s acceptance speech since most people use the word ‘discipline’ with dogs. Now it kind of makes sense, though,” said Priebus.

In recognition of the July 4th holiday, Donald J. Trump has proposed creating a new, improved flag of the United States of America. “That red and blue and all those stripes, it clashes with everything,” said the presumptive Republican nominee. “I have great taste. I have the best taste you’ll ever see. And I tell you that old rag is a stinker.” Trump unveiled the new design, which has the letters “USA” printed in gold on a solid white background. According to materials provided by the Trump campaign, the white color refers to the nation’s founding fathers, who were all white. The gold color stands for wealth and how the nation must always care for its rich. “Believe me, you don’t need those other colors,” said Trump. “All white is good. It’ll look so beautiful flying at my rallies. People will cry. They’ll be crying, it’s so beautiful.”

After a closed-door meeting with Donald J. Trump, three of the nation’s most prominent evangelical Christian leaders gave testimony to the presumptive Republican nominee’s newfound devotion. “He recited verses from the Good Book, and he cried as he spoke about the beauty of the Lord’s Commandments—even the adultery one,” said Jerry Falwell Jr, the president of Liberty University. “I saw the lamb of God come down and lick his hand,” said televangelist James Robison. “And the lamb liked it; I think Donald had on lavender hand lotion.” Franklin Graham added, “I had a vision that Donald was lying back with his head in God’s lap and his hair was being shampooed in the blood of Our Savior. When I looked at him, I mean really looked hard, I could swear his hair glowed. It was a sign that all good Christians have to vote for this man.” The three evangelicals also announced the opening of a new chain of megachurches with attached luxury hotel towers, made possible by funds from an anonymous donor.

Republican party chair Reince Priebus announced that a live bear will not be performing at the Republican National Convention, to be held soon in LeBron, Ohio (aka Cleveland). Priebus said that that rumor, along with several reports that a little person’s circus would be on site, are all “a pack of lies. This convention will be a serious affair. After all, we have a serious candidate.” 39-year-old Trump supporter Charles “The Goatfucker” Jones, a professional wrestler from Sparks, Nevada, said, “I’ve never seen a presidential candidate seriouser than Mr. Donald J. Trump. If you don’t think Mr. Trump is a genius, you’re a imbecile.” Trump himself was overheard saying he didn’t “give a rat’s ass about the convention. I just want to take over the—I mean, serve, the country.” In other news, San Diego Republicans said they want to show veterans how much they care by putting an end “once and for all” to all mental health care services in San Diego County and put the savings into strip clubs and card rooms, with drink discounts for all veterans who prove they voted for George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004.

Donald J. Trump is backing away from his assertion Wednesday night that he was going to ban Black Republicans from the party’s convention next month in LeBron, Ohio (aka Cleveland). The presumptuous—oops, presumptive—nominee said, “I want to ban White Republicans, too. I want Republicans. I don’t see black or white, I see dead people. Just kidding. I see humans. I’m a humanist, a *big time* humanist.” Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson said, “Mr. Trump was not aware that the Black Republican is a variety of cherry grown mostly in the Pacific Northwest, eaten fresh but used primarily in commercially made pies and ice creams. Mr. Trump is a very welcoming, not racially biased man. A man for all seasons, really.” In related news, Iowa Republican Terry Branstad denied that he was thinking about Trump the whole time Wednesday that he passed so much gas that the IQs of four people present temporarily dropped a whopping 60 points. Witnesses say Branstad’s IQ appeared to hold steady.

Donald J. Trump has reached out to England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland with a proposal to form “a more perfect union, a much more perfect union” between them and the United States. Trump said the new government consortium will be called the Authentic Atlantic Union, or AAU. Trump further said his first order of business will be to sue the longstanding Amateur Athletic Union, or AAU. The organization for youngsters of athletic promise has been in existence since 1888. Trump said, “Those assholes just exploit kids, and not even for something decent, like manufacturing or agriculture!” Press materials put out by the presumptive Republican nominee’s campaign indicate that the full, official name of the new governmental entity would be the Authentic Atlantic Union of the United States and Some Other, Lesser Countries. In other news, unseasonably high temperatures in eastern Oregon are putting that state’s wheat harvest at risk. Republicans there propose renting enormous gas- and diesel-powered air cooling units to station at the edges of all fields.

The Trump campaign plans to turn traditional voter canvassing on its head with a new mobile app that’s been nicknamed “Uber for assholes.” Instead of indiscriminately sending out volunteers to pound the pavement and knock on doors, the Trump team will only send out a surrogate (aka, the “asshole”) when a voter requests one through the app. Requests for an “asshole” (aka, Trump supporter) can be made 24 hours a day for a charge of $14.95 per minute, with peak pricing at times of high demand. Democrats have labeled the new app a desperate attempt to raise funds by a foundering campaign. Trump’s director of social media Daniel Scavino Jr. counters, “You can get a Hillary goon for free. Visits from the Trump team are a premium good.”

A conservative columnist has launched a website for women who find the prospect of a Trump presidency irresistibly sexy. Ann Coulter said the site, called “I Jill for Trump” is modeled after a similar site for men who get turned on at the thought of Trump being America’s next White House CEO. Coulter said, “I figure if Mike Huckabee—not known for his entrepreneurial prowess—can make money at this, so can I.” (Huckabee recently launched “I Jerk for Trump.”) Coulter said her site has videos and still photos of the presumptive Republican nominee discussing foreign policy, ordering bottles of wine at restaurants, rolling up his sleeves while speaking, and archival tape of him pushing his first daughter in a swing. Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin said the site is “sure to be a winner. Donald Trump is sexier than a polar bear getting dropped with a 50 caliber rifle. I jill for Trump. And believe me, I do it all the time.” Tea Party cofounder Debbie Dooley said, “When I imagine him talking shit to some tight-ass woman who just needs a good you-know-whating, I get so wet. These things must be taken care of, and I do it. Gladly. I jill for Trump.” The site provides a much-needed service for conservative women, according to 34-year-old Elizabeth Farft. She’s a Trump supporter from Racine, Wisconsin, who has been unable to work since 2008 after suffering injuries and being arrested for assault at a reception following her stepson’s First Communion. Farft said, “Only a uptight priss would think Trump isn’t sexy. He’s a hell of a lot sexier than that Muslim-in-Chief who’s in there now.” In other news, Iowa Republican Joni Ernst said, “I will hate terrorists ’til the day I die, but I will staunchly defend their right to buy semi-automatic firearms.”

Presumptuous—oops, presumptive—Republican nominee Donald J Trump said if elected he will offshore Congress. “It would be so much cheaper.” To critics, Trump said during a speech outside Owings Mills, Maryland, “Look, I’m not looking to outsource these knuckleheads. (Not yet.) This is offshoring, you morons.” Trump said his proposal has nothing to with rumors that upon his inauguration, if elected, he would dissolve the Supreme Court and the House and Senate. He said the plan simply “makes good ol’ American sense.” Even with travel expenses, the Republican bankruptcy filer said, offshoring Congress would be “great” for the country financially. “They could use one of my planes—I’d give them a good rate.” He said “thrifty” lodging might help the nation’s books, too. One of Trump’s companies owns a company that owns another company that either owns, manages, or both—it’s not entirely clear—a quarter-star 700-unit motel compound on New Providence Island, the Bahamas.

Delegates and other attendees at the conference will be able to buy Trump Hot Dogs, Trump Steak on a Stick, Trump Nuts, Trump Popcorn, and Trumpade. All of the food products are high in GMOs.

The GOP announced that the lucrative contract to erect the fence in front of their convention stage has been awarded. A Gary, Indiana, company will put up the chicken wire that will shield speakers from audience members. Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus said McNulty, Baltie, Moore, & Sons will erect the fence. The business gained a small degree of fame in the 1980s, when they put up the chicken wire fence that protected musical acts at Bob’s Country Bunker, in the movie The Blues Brothers. Priebus said the RNC will also be strictly enforcing a no-coolers rule inside the convention center, and will additionally prohibit bare upper bodies. The Republican national convention is slated to run from July 18 to July 21 in Cleveland, Ohio. In other news, Wisconsin governor Scott Walker denied reports that most of his thoughts center around fund-raising, roast beef sandwiches, and avoiding jail time.
