Donald Trump’s secretary bursts into his office

Trump: “Kristen, check this out. I’m writing a script for the new version of The Apprentice. I call it Apprentice: Gold Edition. Like my Apple Watch.”

Christine: “It’s Christine, Sir. Have you seen the news? A gorilla named Harambe was just killed.”

    Harambe was a western lowland gorilla who lived at the Cincinnati Zoo. On May 28, 2016, a day that will live in infamy, a three-year-old boy visiting the zoo climbed under a fence into the outdoor gorilla enclosure where he was grabbed and violently dragged and thrown by Harambe.
