Stop me if you've heard this one

Donald Trump, Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama and a young school girl are on a flight when disaster strikes the plane and all occupants must parachute to safety, but there are only three parachutes. Oprah Winfrey says "I'm the richest woman in the world", grabs a pack and bails. "I had the greatest electoral college victory ever" spits Trump, grabs another pack and follows Oprah. Barack Obama turns to the school child and says "You are the future, our country's best hope" and begins to outfit the child with a pack, when the girl states "actually there's a future for you, too. Mr Trump jumped with my book bag".

9. I don't get it. Why would Oprah let a school age girl die? She's not bad.

14. I agree.

When I heard the joke (see #13), the pilot came back into the passenger cabin. He said that his survival was important so that he could help in the investigation of the mishap, so he took the first parachute. The version with Oprah maligns her and doesn't account for the presence of the pilot.

15. Oprah only utilized as a card in the Trump's greed deck, a ruse

at the heat of the moment for the Donald to hastily join, on top of Trump's non-recognition of the "book bag". No offense meant towards Oprah, wonderful person I'd love to meet and have coffee with, wouldn't just about anyone? I re-iterated the joke with characters the military.com site had. Joke would work just as well with say, Bill Gates.
I think Oprah would be big enough to have a good belly laugh even at a bit of her expense.

13. I heard it years ago with Henry Kissinger in the starring role.

He says, "My survival is essential to guiding U.S. foreign policy and achieving peace in the Middle East. Besides that, I am, of course, the smartest man in the world." Out he goes. The Pope (not Obama) then says to the hippie (not a school girl) that the younger person should take the last parachute, to which the hippie replies, "Hey, Padre, that's real cool of you, but, like, not to worry, y'know? The smartest man in the world just jumped out of the airplane with my backpack on."

It would be interesting to set up a self-esteem contest between Kissinger and Trump.

I think Oprah would be big enough to have a good belly laugh even at a bit of her expense, so would Bill.
