Dear Mr. President,
You are starring in the new season of “Corona Virus, Attack of the Invisible Enemy”. Unfortunately, due to my busy social schedule, I may not be able to watch it live, but it will probably be on YouTube or On Demand. I thought it might be fun for you and viewers to play a couple of new games I thought of during the show.
The first game is called “Name the Topic”. Even though the previews say this will be a show dedicated to the Corona Virus, other topics may arise. Before you start the show, the viewers can take a piece of paper, a writing utensil and make columns or keep tallies on which words will have the most use. Melania can keep score for you. Examples can be “best”, “ever”, “China”, “incredible”, “ventilators”, “Fascist” or “Antifa” or “Communist” or “radical”. You can have a separate column for nicknames, you already know some of them. There will be extra credit for “Women in Arms”.
The next game is actually a new mental acuity test. Everyone can play. Here are the rules. The questions are multiple choice and there may be more than one correct answer. Wikipedia or Google will not be allowed. You may ask for help from the audience or phone a friend.
