Trump Bans White Men From Traveling, Notes Some Are Good People

What if President Donald Trump went after the one demographic responsible for more mass shootings in America than any other? The following is a satire. It almost exclusively uses statements Trump has made, albeit about other groups. Links to the original quotes are included.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald J. Trump outlined extraordinary measures this week to keep white men from committing acts of gun violence like the Las Vegas shooting that killed 59 people. It was the latest shooting committed by a white man, and although some White House officials cautioned the president against tying the violence to this demographic, he had plainly had enough.

“Some I assume are good people,” he said of white men, who are responsible for the majority of mass shootings. “But they bring a lot of problems. They bring their semi-automatics, they bring their armor-piercing bullets. Frankly, I don’t like it”

Despite a difficult nine months in office, Trump seemed almost in campaign mode during a Friday press conference at the White House, as blustery and combative as he was in the early days of the Republican primary. “You gotta grab ‘em by the rifle stock,” he said of the measures he was announcing. “When you’re the federal government, they let you do it.”

Trump’s tough new restrictions include potentially banning gun owners from states like Alabama and Georgia from travelling into states like California and New York. A travel ban within the United States — and for a single ethnic and gender demographic, at that — would be unprecedented
