We knew Donald Trump was struggling to get musicians to play at his inauguration, but asking Pauline Hanson to perform is surely a bit desperate?

Okay, so Hanson probably isn’t performing but she has been sent an invitation to attend Trump’s swearing in ceremony on January 20.

To be honest, yeah, we can definitely believe it.

But there’s a twist! According to Hanson, she’s “still deciding” whether or not she can attend due to her “duties to the people of Queensland and Australia”.

Considering parliament doesn’t resume until February, Hanson is probably referring to the upcoming WA and Queensland state elections, where One Nation is making a serious play for more seats.

So far Hanson is the only Australian politician to indicate that they might be heading to the presidential inauguration. Cory Bernardi is probably feeling mighty jealous right about now.

Quite a few people are happy for Hanson to head over to Washington D.C., as long as she doesn’t come back.

If Hanson does decide to attend she’ll be in the company of Hillary and Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and 3 Doors Down (of ‘Kryptonite’ fame).

You thought 2016 was bad? Welcome to the hell on earth that is 2017 — and we’re only sixteen fucking days in.
