More realistic would be this:
Trump invites to pope on his yacht, Popes hat flies off into the water, 50 feet away. The crew and the Secret Service were scrambling to launch a boat to go get it, when President Trump waved them off saying "Fuck the hat, lets go". The yacht speeds off, leaving the pope's hat in the water where it eventually sinks to the ocean floor. The entire Trump/Pope visit and the hat episode is captured on video.
That afternoon, NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, CNN report exactly what happened.
Fox news reports:
"PRESIDENT TRUMP WALKS ON WATER".
At press conference, Trump say's "yeah, I walked on water. Better than Jesus could ever do. If either Jesus or Frederick Douglass want to come over to my yacht, we'll have a walking on water competition."
Then Trump blasts the dishonest press for showing the actual footage and audio of Trump saying "fuck the hat, lets go."
