When us media types don’t have anything to write about, we make up fake news about President Donald Trump.
I’ve never aktually done this, but I heard about it on Fox News so it must be true.
Since our chalky tournament is kurrently giving us a slow start to the Madness, seems like as good a time as any to tell you my own fake Donald Trump news story. The twist is that what I’m about to tell you is all true, none of it is news and I am no longer a “media type”.
Now thats trouble.
So my 2-year-old son refers to our President as “Donald Trouble.”
That’s basically my story in it’s entirety. But hey, it’s kinda cute and way more interesting than anything that happened during the first two days of March “Madness”.
I assure you he came up with this name all by himself and is not parroting either of his parents. How he came up with this name I’ll never know, but it’s not my place as his father to korrect in matters like this. Honestly, I don’t even know if there is anything to korrect. Seems like he nailed it.
I wanted to name David’s bracket with some play on words alluding to kids and madness going together. It’s a khaos bracket by nature, so I was thinking something like “Kukla Kids Khoas,” but you see the akronym problem with that one. Don’t need any real fake news koming out about the KUBE being in bed with Donald Trouble’s fan klan klub.
So that’s why my son’s picks are called “David’s Donald Trouble Bracket.” I realize “trouble” isn’t eksaktly a synonym for “madness”, but whatever, it’s klose enough and it gave me a free blog in my back pocket for a chalky day. If Donald Trouble’s presidency isn’t the equivalent of madness, well then, maybe Star Wars was a documentary after all.
I kould have used this space to komplain about the “flagrant” foul at the end of Seton Hall’s loss or Michigan’s inability to miss a 3-pointer or all the fake news Fox Sports produced about SMU being good at basketball. But I did enough komplaining last night about a Valpo grad’s inability to koach smart people, so my fake fake Donald Trouble story it is.
If you’re mad about the lack of madness, just sit tight and get ready for a wild weekend. I think all the early chalk will give us some kompelling, klose, krazy games in the immediate future.
P.S. “Donald, The Good One” is kurrently ahead of “Donald Trouble” in the standings. I know this bekause Jon dragged the KUBE into the digital age with live standings now available to the masses along with projected standings, akcess to everyone’s brackets, a full picks summary and a champions summary.
Three cheers for Jon! We all owe him a big THANK YOU for all the tireless work he does to keep this thing running while his partner does nothing but type up a few fake blog posts here and there. Most importantly, this means I no longer need Obama to wiretap all your phones in order figure out who you picked.
As for “The Good One”, don’t get too komfy up there because some “Trouble” is koming your way.
