This Monday the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, the group responsible each year for selecting the winners of Emmy television awards, the group that future President Donald Trump has repeatedly spurned due to his reality show The Apprentice never getting an award, received a hand-addressed letter with five forever stamps affixed to the top. The contents was a single sheet of sweat-stained paper torn from a wide-ruled notebook, signed by President-elect Donald Trump himself. The note simply read: “Suck it!”

At first members of the Academy were baffled by the note, but members of Trump’s team, after taking a moment to put their heads in their hands, were quick to speak out about the implications of the note. “Mr. Trump’s goal was simply to take down the establishment that has for so long neglected the people and dictated our television preferences,” said a rep, “He feels he was not taken seriously in the past. His show The Apprentice and its many spinoffs were never given the recognition they deserved. This note was to signify that he does not need the Academy. He just needs America.”

Indeed, the former reality star’s recent pet project of winning the election has become arguably the single greatest feat in real television since Rupaul’s Drag Race.

President-elect Donald Trump, himself, was even reachable for comment. “I don’t need them. It was rigged. But I still won in the end!” he said while his aides helplessly tried to distract him with a peanut butter sandwich. “I give the people what they want!” he finished, his voice only getting louder.

And indeed it seems that he has.
