Let it not be said
that feelings of entitlement
are exclusive
to the younger generations.
After his ambiguous
and democracy-defying statement
at last night's debate
saying that he would
"keep [us] in suspense"
as to whether
he would accept the election results
if Hillary Clinton won
today Donald Trump
has walked back that statement
by doubling down
and saying what of course
he really meant
and thus writing
the parody Onion article himself
which is
"I would like to promise and pledge
to all of my voters and supporters
and to all of the people
of the United States
that I will totally accept the results
of this great and historic presidential election
if I win."
