There’s a up-and-coming political star that is making waves on the local level, 5-year-old Jerry Manders from Chicago, Illinois, has been identified as a lying prodigy with a skill set so advanced that he is already being hailed as a future star in American politics.

“Yes, I did my homework last night,” Jerry fibbed to his kindergarten teacher earlier this week, not knowing that this precise moment would set him on a path to future public office. Jerry, who had instead spent the prior evening watching toy unboxing videos, showcased a remarkable aptitude for deflecting blame, disarming his opponents with confusing rhetoric, and a natural talent for lying constantly—all foundational skills in the political arena.

Jerry Manders could probably govern better than most politicians these days!

Enough of these old career politicians. We need some fresh blood in Washington. I'm all for Jerry Mander! I don't know anything about what he actually stands for, but I'm sure he'll be fine.

he's always been a prodigy.. by the time he was 3 Jerry had already figured out that if you stick to the lie, Mommy will eventually get tired and give you another cookie..
