The Entire US Presidential Election As Told Through Father Ted
As much as I enjoy writing these 'As told through Father Ted' stories, the frequency in which we've been forced to do them is a damning indictment of just how farcical the real world has become.
This year's presidential election was as ridiculous as any of the Father Ted storylines. Here's how it would have played out had it taken place on Craggy Island.
The Republican primaries were particularly blood-thirsty, with Ted Cruz looking like the early favourite
But Donald Trump began to gain popularity, driven by his pledge to build a wall between the US and Mexico
Unbelievably he secured the nomination
Meanwhile, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's liberal views were not hitting home many conservative Americans
Trump's advisory team were battling night and day to stop him putting his foot in his mouth
But seemed happy to let him say whatever he wanted about Clinton
However his popularity took a nosedive after the leak of his inappropriate comments about women
There was also, of course, a lot of discussion about the size of his hands
While the whole issue of immigration seemed to split voters
Hillary was not without her troubles either
And it got to the point where many just wished there was someone else to vote for
As the race entered its final days, Trump questioned everything about the voting system
But then, against all odds, he was declared the winner
As he entered the stage, his fans gathered in celebration
While he celebrated for a few hours, the severity of the situation finally hit the American public when he was given access to the nuclear weapon launch pad
Well done everyone
