    Of course this was done in "The Mouse that Roared".  I had intended to search for the name of the country that declared war on the US and found this link.  The name of the country is in the link if you want suggestions, but I think the article is foo interesting to not post the link.

    Crap---the link doesn't work.  Trying highlighting and searching for parts of the following if you are interested.

    Wibberley's 1955 Cold War satirical novel came to mind, as I listened to Trump talk nonsense about "extreme vetting", "ideological tests" and establishing a "commission on radical Islam", while invoking Cold War comparisons and insisting that the US must shun refugees and abandon "nation-building" abroad.

    To make a long satire short; The Mouse That Roared is about a small country, the Duchy of Grand Fenwick, which decides to go to war against the US with the aim to lose, and prompt the US to provide vast financial aid to rebuild the country.

    Except, to their surprise, the Fenwicks sort of won the war after a series of coincidences, defeating the whole purpose of waging it in the first place.

    Not so different from Trump, who launched his campaign last summer in a press conference without any means, plans, vision or the will to win the Republican nomination, let alone the presidency.
