Donald Trump Renders Classic E/A Cheer Ineffective

A sad hush fell upon the Exeter community this weekend upon realizing that an E/a cheer beloved by generations of Exonians would no longer ring effective. For years, when faced with an unfortunate scoreboard, Exonians have tit-for-tatted Andover by cheering “George Bush” over and over again, alluding to the fact that George Bush went to Andover and was not a particularly “good” or “competent” president. However, with the recent election of President Donald Trump, Exonians and Phillippians alike have realized just how bad it can be. This disappointing revelation is centered upon the fact that George Bush is to Donald Trump as garlic is to onions; much more palatable and less likely to be racist.

One heartbroken Exonian upperclassman stated, “It’s just so upsetting. Trump is ruining everything. First, he puts forth an ineffective tax plan. Second, he makes it so I can’t even pretentiously make fun of my rivals. Everything is ruined.”

A Phillipian stated, “You know,  Andover is a fairly liberal campus. We didn’t choose George Bush anyway. I wasn’t alive.” However, we at The Exonian still, forever and always, willl continue to blame Andover.

It seems that, as a community, we will need to find another, equally obnoxious political cheer. Hopefully, there’s a Phillipian presidential elect in 2020. (Jeb?)
