The Entire US Presidential Election As Told Through Father Ted

As much as I enjoy writing these 'As told through Father Ted' stories, the frequency in which we've been forced to do them is a damning indictment of just how farcical the real world has become.

This year's presidential election was as ridiculous as any of the Father Ted storylines. Here's how it would have played out had it taken place on Craggy Island.

The Republican primaries were particularly blood-thirsty, with Ted Cruz looking like the early favourite

But Donald Trump began to gain popularity, driven by his pledge to build a wall between the US and Mexico

Unbelievably he secured the nomination

Meanwhile, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's liberal views were not hitting home many conservative Americans

Trump's advisory team were battling night and day to stop him putting his foot in his mouth

But seemed happy to let him say whatever he wanted about Clinton

However his popularity took a nosedive after the leak of his inappropriate comments about women

There was also, of course, a lot of discussion about the size of his hands

While the whole issue of immigration seemed to split voters

Hillary was not without her troubles either

And it got to the point where many just wished there was someone else to vote for

As the race entered its final days, Trump questioned everything about the voting system

But then, against all odds, he was declared the winner

As he entered the stage, his fans gathered in celebration

While he celebrated for a few hours, the severity of the situation finally hit the American public when he was given access to the nuclear weapon launch pad

Well done everyone
