Inauguration embarrassment as troll doll almost sworn in

Troll doll (we think)

Inauguration day disaster was narrowly averted in Washington DC today when a troll doll was almost sworn in as President of the United States of America instead of Donald Trump. Apparently on holiday and taking in the sights, the troll doll was spotted by the President -Elect's security detail and rushed up to the podium for the swearing in ceremony. It was only then that the error was discovered.

A spokesman for the Secret Service said, "It was an understandable mistake to make. They are almost the same colour and the hair is definitely the same."

The Republican GOP commented on the mix-up, stating, "It's no big thing. This is exactly the inauguration that we wanted. We don't know why everyone's making a fuss. We're just glad he got through the thing without grabbing anything."

Many Democrats have suggested that the country would have been better off with the troll doll.
