Hillary Clinton phones the White House shortly after midnight. ‘‘I need to talk to President Trump, it’s an emergency!’’ After some cajoling, the President’s assistant agrees to wake him up.
‘‘So what is it that’s so important that it can’t wait until morning?’’ grumbles Trump.
‘‘A Supreme Court Judge just died, and I want to take his place,’’ insists Ms Clinton.
‘‘Oh. Is that all? Well, it’s OK with me if it’s OK with the mortuary,’’ replies Trump.
