To: All new Appointees and Existing Employees
From: POTUS
Subject: New Code of Ethics
Following our mandate to turn over a new leaf, to drain the swamp, and to Make America Great Again, we have adopted a new Code of Ethics that you must follow, on pain of excommunication. This memo outlines the differences between the ethics you may be used to, and those of the New Administration. Forget all those things your mother, your teacher, your priest, your rabbi, your minister, your philosopher or your therapist taught you. The MAGA, and He alone, provides the light of Truth and Justice that informs this new Code of Ethics.
