WASHINGTON - Chronological visitator Joseph Willis announced yesterday that he will be returning to his temporal home of February 2025 shortly, having accomplished his goal of preventing Jim Gilmore, former Governor of Virginia and Republican Presidential candidate, from winning the presidency and creating a hellish dystopia the likes of which residents of 2016 would find unimaginable.

“Boy, does crap hit the fan come 2017, I tell you,” Willis said. “Gilmore doesn’t care about morals, or about innocent lives, or anything but himself! He will do anything to get power. He makes Frank Underwood look like a preschool teacher!”

Willis explained his strategy for preventing the rise of Dear Leader Gilmore, which apparently hinged on finding damning aspects of other candidate’s personal lives.

Having arrived in November 2014, Willis began his quest by first erasing all evidence of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush’s questionable acquaintances, sending Bush’s former high school classmate and lover of 35 years, Lincoln Chafee, into hiding by convincing the sad man to run for President against former First Lady Hillary Clinton, condemning him to obscurity forever and keeping Bush in the race.

Willis then reached out to Secretary Clinton in May 2015, and convinced her not to go to a Hollywood fundraiser that month, when originally she would meet and befriend international pop sensation Miley Cyrus, preventing a highly misguided ad campaign starring Cyrus centered around the tagline “#LifeWillbeChillwithHill,” leading to charges of “moral turpitude” which ultimately led to the execution of the Clinton family in the First Purge of 2018.

Finally, Willis brokered a deal with Donald Trump to receive the most important hair transplant in history, to be performed with incredibly precision from Dr. Ben Carson.

In Willis’ timeline, during the final Republican debate, the future tyrant ripped off Trump’s hairpiece, leaving the real estate owner bald and even more pathetic than usual on national television.

Now armed with at least vaguely natural-ish follicles, the controversial businessman now stands a solid chance to stop the Great and Bountiful Gilmore in his tracks.

Having explained his efforts, Willis was asked what would stop a pro-Gilmore stormtrooper from going back in time to kill him, thus preventing his own preventative measures and ensuring that Gilmore would obtain world domination.

Willis paused, screamed in agony, and suddenly disappeared in a burst from the temporal vortex.
