Citing the excellent work he did during Black History Month, President Trump has asked Ben Carson to become gay during June, aka Pride Month.

“Ben has proven so good at representing one minority in my Cabinet, I figured he’d be great at this too.”

Trump assured Carson’s wife that he need only be gay for a few weeks, after which he can go back to being whatever orientation he wants.

“Who knows? He might decide he likes it!”

Should Carson refuse, Trump said he might have to out his Vice-President once and for all to avoid his cabinet looking out of touch.

“Everyone knows it already anyway, except for Mike of course.”
