ATLANTA—In a move described by political analysts as both game-changing and deeply carnivorous, former President Donald Trump has officially endorsed Mike Collins in the hotly contested Georgia Republican Senate run-off after Collins reportedly agreed to recite the Trump Loyalty Oath while cutting Trump’s initials into a 32-ounce ribeye at Mar-a-Lago.

“Mike gets it. He loves America, trucks, and more importantly, me,” Trump declared in a statement stapled to an 8×10 glossy headshot of himself riding a golden escalator. “He ate every bite. He even asked for ketchup. That’s commitment.”

Trump’s endorsement comes as a devastating blow to Collins’ opponent, Derek Dooley, who sources claim lost favor after refusing to name his firstborn son ‘Ivanka Junior’ during a campaign call. “I didn’t even know that was biologically possible, but rules are rules,” Dooley said in a concession statement delivered while sadly flipping through the Trump Home Decor catalog.

The Collins campaign wasted no time touting the endorsement as “the boldest since Trump picked a winner in the Second Annual Georgia Gourd Weigh-Off.” Campaign manager Trixie Fairchild added, “We look forward to continuing President Trump’s vision for a Georgia where every Sonic Drive-In flies a flag with his face on it.”

Political strategist Buck Givens called the move “a real fork in the road for Georgians, especially those who prefer their steak well-done with a side of hyper-loyalty.”

Collins is now expected to face Democrat Jon Ossoff in November, with insiders predicting the debate stage may feature both a lie detector and a grilling station.
