In a stunning twist of events, former President Donald Trump has declared that the upcoming November presidential election should be cancelled and that he should be declared the winner. Citing what he calls a "total waste of time," Trump boldly asserted that he cannot find anyone who isn't planning to vote for him.

"It's time to cut through the bureaucratic red tape and just hand me the victory I know I deserve," Trump announced in a press conference held at a golf course in Florida. "I mean, come on - who wouldn't want to vote for me? I'm tremendous, the best, absolutely fantastic. Let's just skip the formality of an election and save everyone the trouble of showing up at the polls."

The announcement, made on a sunny Tuesday afternoon between the 9th and 10th holes of his signature golf course, sent shockwaves through the political world. Democrats, Republicans, and independents alike expressed disbelief at Trump's audacious move. Many questioned the legality and constitutionality of such a declaration, while others simply rolled their eyes at what they saw as yet another attention-grabbing stunt from the former reality TV star turned politician.

"This is beyond ridiculous," said Democratic Party spokesperson. "Mr. Trump seems to have forgotten that we live in a democracy, not a dictatorship. The American people deserve the right to choose their leader, not have one imposed upon them."

Even members of Trump's own party found themselves struggling to defend his latest proclamation. Republican Senator John Doe cautiously stated, "While we appreciate the former president's enthusiasm, we must remind everyone that the electoral process is a cornerstone of our democracy. We cannot simply bypass it, no matter how... confident... a candidate might be."

In response to the backlash, Trump doubled down on his stance, insisting that his support is so overwhelming that there's no need for a formal election. At a hastily arranged follow-up press conference, held in the clubhouse bar of the same golf course, Trump elaborated on his position.

"I've done polls, tremendous polls, the best polls you've ever seen," Trump boasted, waving a cocktail napkin with some hastily scribbled numbers. "They all say the same thing - I'm the best, I'm the winner, I'm the only choice. So why waste time going through the motions of an election? Let's just cut to the chase and declare me the winner."

When pressed for details about these polls, Trump deflected, stating that the pollsters were "very fine people" and that the results were "so good, you wouldn't believe it." He then proceeded to challenge reporters to find a single person in the room who wouldn't vote for him, seemingly oblivious to the fact that the room was filled with his own supporters and country club members.

Legal experts have been quick to point out that Trump's proposal is not only unprecedented but also unconstitutional. The right to vote is a fundamental tenet of democracy, and any attempt to circumvent that process would be a direct assault on the principles of the nation.

"What Mr. Trump is suggesting is not just illegal, it's absurd," explained constitutional law expert Professor Jane Doe. "The Constitution clearly outlines the process for electing a president. There's no clause that says 'unless one candidate feels really, really sure they're going to win”, although Trump disputes this and plans to sue.

Despite the overwhelming criticism, Trump's core base of supporters “the Maga Clan” seemed energized by the announcement. Social media platforms were flooded with posts from users claiming that Trump's move was "brave" and "exactly what this country needs."

One particularly enthusiastic supporter, who identified himself only as "MAGA4Life," tweeted, "Trump's so popular, elections are just a formality! Why bother with all the fake news and rigged voting machines? Just crown him king already!"

This sentiment, however, was far from universal. Critics from across the political spectrum condemned Trump's statement as dangerous and anti-democratic. Protests sprang up in major cities, with demonstrators carrying signs reading "Defend Democracy" and "Your Vote Matters."

As the controversy continues to swirl, one thing is clear - the November election is still scheduled to take place, and voters will have the final say on who will be the next president of the United States. Election officials across the country have reaffirmed their commitment to ensuring a fair and accessible voting process for all eligible citizens.

"We want to assure the American people that the election will proceed as planned," said Federal Election Commission spokesperson Mark Smashburgers.

Political analysts are divided on how this latest controversy will impact Trump's campaign. Some argue that it could galvanize his base, while others believe it may alienate moderate voters who are uncomfortable with such blatant disregard for democratic norms.

Whether Trump's declaration will have any impact on the outcome remains to be seen, but one thing is for certain - the drama and chaos of the 2024 election season show no signs of slowing down. As the nation moves closer to November, all eyes will be on the candidates, the polls, and the democratic process that has defined American politics for over two centuries.

In the meantime, Trump has announced plans for a nationwide tour to promote his "Why Vote When You Can Just Crown Me?" campaign, promising rallies filled with "big crowds, big flags, and bigly winning." Campaign donations are expected. The other candidates, undeterred by Trump's claims of inevitable victory, continue their own campaign efforts, reminding voters that in a democracy, every voice - and every vote - counts.
