Improv Troupe Comes to Washington - Lesley Leben, Humor Times

There’s a new improv troupe in town and they call themselves The Trump Administration!

Move over, The Groundlings, step aside, Second City, back off, Upright Citizens Brigade — there’s a new improv troupe in town and they call themselves The Trump Administration. This week’s performance was a master class in improvisational comedy which revolves around something called “Yes, AND thinking.”

“Yes, and thinking” suggests that an improviser should accept what another improviser has stated (“yes”) and then expand on that line of thinking (“and”).

The troupe is led by President Donald J. Trump. Members include Elon Musk, J.D. Vance, Pete Hegseth, Robert Kennedy Junior, Jared Kushner and Mike Johnson to name a few.

Here’s a snippet of this week’s hilarious skit which was performed in the Oval Office:

President Trump: The United States will take over the Gaza Strip.

Mike Johnson: YES, AND… it will be a bold move.

President Trump: YES, AND we will relocate 1.8 million Palestinians.

Pete Hegseth: YES, AND we will use the US military to move them… somewhere.

Trump: YES, AND we will move them to strips of land in Jordan.

King Abdullah of Jordan, who was seated in the audience, jumped out of his seat.

Abdullah: NO, we do not want-

Abdullah is dragged out.

President Trump: YES, AND once the detritus is cleared, it will be the Riviera of the Middle East.

Jared Kushner: YES, AND we will build Trump Tower Gaza, a world class golf course named Gaza Greens and the Melania Trump Wellness Center cleverly named Be Guest.

Elon Musk: YES, AND we will no longer have to feed starving children, isn’t that right X (Musk addresses his 4-year-old son.)

X then attempts to climb up on President Trump’s lap but is drop kicked off by Trump.

X (to Trump): Yeah, and you’re a dumb dumb.

Trump: Yeah, and you’re a poopy head.

J.D. (To X): YES AND if the President says it, it’s true. (Vance sticks his tongue out at X.)

X kicks Vance in the shins and runs out.

-End of Skit-

The Administration will do a four-year residency in the White House. The relentless schedule of performing daily enabled Trump to negotiate a $656-billion-dollar contract for himself. It is the highest compensation package ever paid to an entertainer.
