WEEK 001 / 583 — The Golden Descent
第一章The Descent
JUNE 16TH, 2015. BEFORE DAWN, HIGH IN THE TOWER, THE WEAPON IS ALREADY DRAWN.
(""@brentcfritz: Today is the day America becomes great again. @realDonaldTrump has some huge news that will shock the world #Trump4President"")
AT THE ELEVENTH HOUR OF THE MORNING, HE DESCENDS INTO HIS OWN TOWER — AND DECLARES.
“I am officially running for President of the United States. #MakeAmericaGreatAgain”
Our country is in a major crisis of incompetent leadership. We cannot continue to go on with these politicians who do nothing but talk.
Druggies, drug dealers, rapists and killers are coming across the southern border. When will the U.S. get smart and stop this travesty?
“Stop saying I went bankrupt. I never went bankrupt but like many great business people have used the laws to corporate advantage—smart!”
THE CHORUS LAUGHS. IN THE TOWER'S SHADOW, HE ANSWERS THE LAUGHTER WITH A SINGLE VOW — FIGHT BACK.

This week in the saga
The chronicle opens on June 16th, 2015, as the golden escalator carries DONARUDO down into the atrium of his own tower and he declares before the faceless lens-eyes of THE PRESS that he seeks the highest seat in the land. He names the sickness — a crisis of incompetent leadership, an unguarded southern border — and the realm answers him with laughter. By week's end the papers of candidacy are filed, and the laughter has not yet learned what it is laughing at.
