So, we've got a very busy schedule, but first, I want to start with the Paris accord.
If this desk could talk.
Sir? The night I had in here last night.
Oof.
You and the first lady, huh, sir? Oh.
Bite your tongue.
I should've known.
So, the Paris accord is coming up, and She does this thing.
She licks me everywhere.
And I mean everywhere.
Mm.
It's like It's like she's really impressed I'm the president of the United States.
Well You are, sir.
Hmm.
So, the senate majority leader wants to I want her to come back tonight.
Make that happen? Well, sir, I can talk to Max and he can get her, huh? - [HUNTER SNAPS FINGERS.]
- You do that.
Give these to the vice.
Ohh.
I want to go golfing.
Well, sir, you know, I don't think that would be such a good look on your first day, huh? Ahh, the hell with the look.
You know what? Why don't we schedule the meetings and then just publish a very busy agenda first, huh? You do that, Donald.
I'm surprised you're even here, with that hot piece you call a wife waiting at home.
Well, sir, she's out today.
- Yeah? - Mm-hmm.
New client? Actually, she's with your wife.
Why? They're shopping.
Hmm.
That's weird.
Victoria hates shopping.
Yeah, I think it's for a photo op.
You know, make her look more relatable.
She seen her threat assessment? No, sir, she has not.
Well, why the hell not? I've seen mine.
Well Hers is a bit more sensitive.
Yeah? How so? It's very racial.
Oh.
You have it? Yes, sir, I do.
Why don't you give it to me.
- Well - No.
No, why don't you give it to me, Donald.
- [SNAPS FINGERS.]
- I'll show it to her.
Yes, sir.
But don't worry.
Um, it's pretty extreme but she's got an ample amount of secret service on her side.
Are you kidding? If someone killed her, they'd be doing me a favor.
[DONALD CHUCKLES.]
You're kidding.
I know.
Do I look like I'm laughing? No, sir.
Hey, what What would I have to do to pull back on her security detail? I'm gonna advise against that, sir.
Why? 'Cause I don't think the public would look too kindly on the first lady of the United States being assassinated, sir.
These feminists are always carrying on about equal rights.
Let's give them their first martyr.
I am going to strongly recommend against that, sir.
- You're no fun.
- Mm.
You're never any fun, Donald.
Make me a drink.
Want one? No, sir.
No.
I don't usually drink before 10 a.
m.
I do.
Yes, you do.
'Cause I am president of the United States.
Yes, sir.
That's your cousin? Damn.

I just I can't.
What are you saying to me right now? I don't know how many ways I gotta tell you just to stop calling me.
It's like it's like damn, you know? Really? Really? Look.
Do you.
I want to see you.
Come over here.
Are you crazy? All right, fine.
Then I'll come to you.
- No.
- Why? 'Cause you come with the police now.
I didn't ask for any of this.
Look, whatever.
I gotta go.
So, she's there? No! I heard her.
Stop calling me.
You're really doing this to me? Look, it's not my fault that we're here.
