Germany's satirical newspaper "Der Postillon" writes:
"The renowned Academy of Fine Arts Vienna has surprisingly offered Donald Trump a place to study painting today. Although he claims never to have applied for a place, the US president must now consider whether to continue his political career or pursue a dazzling career as a respected artist.
“We have become increasingly aware of Mr. Trump in recent weeks and months and would like to welcome him to our institution,” explains Rector Johan Friedrich Weichle.
In the past, the university did not always give promising intellectuals the opportunity they deserved, thus unnecessarily driving them into politics. “That should never happen again,” says Weichle.
The university is confident that it can accept the 79-year-old politician with a clear conscience, even without an application portfolio. “We've seen the picture he drew for Jeffrey Epstein. That wasn't bad,” explains the rector. “He definitely has the necessary ego. In the end, that's enough for a career as a postcard painter, at least.”
However, Weichle also warns: “Studying at the academy is no walk in the park and requires a lot of attention. The rest of your time is spent on wild student parties and cleaning your shared apartment. There's usually no time left for politics or writing a political manifesto.”
If Trump accepts this unique offer, he could gain his first artistic experience as a newly minted art student in a wax crayon course set up especially for him as early as next week."
