Trump’s "Make America Credulous Again" Rally
The stage is awash in gold glitter, with giant red hats bearing the slogan "MAKE AMERICA CREDULOUS AGAIN" for sale at every corner. Trump emerges, wearing one himself, and waves to the crowd. His entrance music is a strangely optimistic remix of "Suspicious Minds," which he declares, "ironic but perfect."
"Thank you, everyone! What a tremendous crowd. Or maybe it’s just a small crowd, but fake news wants you to think it’s big. Or maybe it’s a hologram! Who knows? But one thing’s for sure—we are here to make America credulous again!"
The audience cheers, though a few can be seen Googling “credulous” on their phones.
"Now, you might be asking, ‘Donald, why credulous?’ Well, folks, the answer is simple: believing things without evidence is what built this country. The founding fathers? They believed in freedom—no proof it would work, but they went for it. Manifest Destiny? No maps, no facts, just vibes. It was beautiful."
A history teacher in the crowd interrupts:
"But sir, didn’t unchecked credulity lead to witch trials and other disasters?"
Trump waves dismissively.
"And weren’t they exciting? Admit it! People loved the drama. A little credulity spices things up. We’ve been too cynical for too long, folks. It’s time to believe again."
"And let’s talk about science. Everyone says, ‘Trust the experts.’ I say, why? Why trust someone just because they went to school for 20 years? It’s elitist! From now on, America will trust whoever sounds the most confident. That’s why I’m announcing my new Surgeon General: Kevin, the guy from my golf club. He’s got great instincts and once performed CPR on a mannequin at a party. Tremendous guy."
A doctor in the audience yells:
"That’s outrageous!"
Trump grins.
"Is it? Or is it visionary? Kevin believes in himself, and that’s what matters."
"Let’s talk about the economy. They say you need a degree in economics to understand it. Nonsense! All you need is faith. That’s why I’m introducing the Believe Bucks Program. It’s simple: you give me $100, and I give you a piece of paper that says, ‘I promise this is worth $200.’ The value comes from your belief. It’s foolproof, folks!"
An economist in the crowd groans audibly.
"But that’s literally a Ponzi scheme!"
Trump points to him.
"Wrong. It’s a patriotic scheme. Big difference."
"Now, on to foreign policy. People say we need intelligence reports and data to make decisions. I say, why bother? From now on, we’ll base our foreign policy on gut feelings. I’m going to look at a map, point at a country, and decide if we like them or not. No overthinking. Just vibes. And if my gut says we need to invade Luxembourg? We invade Luxembourg!"
A concerned citizen asks:
"Why Luxembourg?"
Trump shrugs.
"Why not? They’ve been too quiet. Quiet countries are suspicious."
"And education—don’t get me started! Kids today are taught to question everything. Terrible! From now on, we teach them to believe what they’re told. Teachers will start every class with, ‘Because I said so,’ and that’ll be the end of it. We’re also replacing textbooks with inspirational posters. No more facts—just phrases like, ‘You’re doing great!’ and ‘Dream big.’ It’s what kids need."
A teacher raises her hand.
"What about critical thinking skills?"
Trump shakes his head.
"Critical thinking is for quitters. Belief moves mountains. Ask anyone who’s seen a motivational video on YouTube!"
"Now, healthcare. People want transparency and evidence. Boring! From now on, all treatments will be based on vibes and testimonials. I’m partnering with a guy on TikTok who healed his hiccups by yelling into a mirror. He’s going to revolutionise medicine. Forget Big Pharma—it’s time for Big Belief."
A nurse looks horrified.
"That’s dangerous!"
Trump smiles.
"Dangerous? Or innovative? Depends on your perspective. And that’s what credulity is all about!"
"Finally, folks, let’s talk about leadership. People keep asking me, ‘Donald, what are your plans for the future?’ And I say, who needs plans? Plans are for doubters. All you need to know is that I’m going to do great things. Believe it. That’s the campaign promise. It’s all about faith in your leader, folks. No details, no specifics, just vibes."
The rally ends with Trump leading the crowd in a chant:
"What do we believe?""WHATEVER YOU SAY!""When do we believe it?""NOW!"
As the rally wraps up, Trump hands out complimentary Believe Bucks while the audience cheers, some laughing, others chanting, and a few quietly wondering if they’ve been scammed. Trump waves confidently, ready to take his credulous crusade nationwide.
