I just had possibly the best idea ever.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/22/hannity-offers-to-be-wate_n_190354.html
In 2009, Sean Hannity offered to be waterboarded for charity because he didn't believe it's actually torture. (In other words: It's not effective.) Somehow he never found the time to go through with this.

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-torture-works/
Donald Trump has said that waterboarding is torture and that it works and that he wants the US to torture more because it works.




That's quite a dilemma, isn't it?

Donald Trump believes that waterboarding is torture and that it works. Donald Trump super-groupie Sean Hannity on the other hand believes the exact opposite.

How can we resolve this?

Easy:
We ask Sean Hannity if he is willing to be waterboarded by Donald Trump, on camera of course, to prove that waterboarding isn't torture.
And we ask Donald Trump if he is willing to waterboard Sean Hannity to prove 1. that waterboarding is torture and 2. that he has the guts to do what he is demanding that US-soldiers do to prisoners.

We put the event on pay-per-view, with the proceeds going to those veterans' groups that Trump said he would help but didn't.
