[ trump as a life hack ]

Energy is finite and attention spans are fleeting. Unfortunately, you need plenty of both to tackle unpleasant or tedious household chores and do them well.

Cleaning the toilet, for instance, is an especially nasty task, requiring effort and lots of elbow grease.   If you’re anything like me, you go heavy on the toilet cleaner, make a quick swipe with the toilet brush, give it a flush, and you’re done. Germs and bacteria, however, flourish in that type of environment. It’s standing room only.

So try this next time: as you squirt toilet cleaner into the bowl, think of Donald J. Trump, former presidential impersonator. Think of his many seditious activities, his status as a foreign asset, his deadbeat freeloading, the fraud and cavalier disregard for the truth. Then begin scrubbing.

I did. And my toilet has never been cleaner or gleamed as brightly. 

It was simple serendipity that led me to this extraordinary life hack. A simple serendipity that was practically staring me in the face, considering how obsessed Trump is with toilets. Remember how bitterly he complained about low water pressure and weak, ineffective flushes? Well, a thorough scrubbing won’t dispose of secret documents and criminal evidence  but your fury will provide all the strength you need to turn your bathroom into a sparkling clean, fresh smelling paradise. It’s downright liberating.
