WEEK 398 / 398 — The Rival
Vol. 6 ·  Chapter 42 — The Rival · Jan 24 – Jan 30, 2023
Manga panel 1 of 5, Week 398 “The Rival”: Wednesday the second of the platforms that erased him blinks: the blue giant announces it is reinstating his account. He accepts the surrender at his own price.
FACEBOOK, which has lost Billions of Dollars in value since “deplatforming” your favorite President, me, has just announced that they are reinstating my account. Such a thing should never again happen to a sitting President, or anybody else who is not deserving of retribution!…
WEDNESDAY: THE PLATFORMS THAT ERASED HIM BLINK, ONE BY ONE.
Manga panel 2 of 5, Week 398 “The Rival”: The same week the armor is promised to the far war, and he hurls a warning after it before dawn: first come the tanks, then come the nukes.
“FIRST COME THE TANKS, THEN COME THE NUKES. Get this crazy war ended, NOW. So easy to do!”
Manga panel 3 of 5, Week 398 “The Rival”: Saturday morning the campaign finally leaves the palace: wheels down in New Hampshire, a favorable poll in hand, the White House promised from the bottom of the airstairs.
Heading to New Hampshire now. Nice NH poll just out — beating everybody by a lot, and nationally, leading by almost 40 points. See you at the White House!
Manga panel 4 of 5, Week 398 “The Rival”: By evening he is in South Carolina between the columns, naming his generals for the first state of the war. This, he tells them, is just the beginning.
Thank you to Governor McMaster, Senator Graham…
Manga panel 5 of 5, Week 398 “The Rival”: And long past midnight, alone with the phone, he types the nickname again — the governor he made, now a globalist, now the rival. In Manhattan, a grand jury is waking up.
PAST MIDNIGHT HE TYPES THE NICKNAME AGAIN — “RON DESANCTIMONIOUS.” THE GOVERNOR HE MADE, NOW BRANDED A GLOBALIST.
THE DOORS HAVE REOPENED. THE CAMPAIGN HAS BEGUN. AND IN MANHATTAN, A GRAND JURY IS WAKING UP.
TO BE CONTINUED…

This week in the saga

Wednesday the second of the platforms that erased him blinks: the blue giant will reinstate his account, and he accepts the surrender at his own price. Before dawn the next morning he hurls a warning after the armor bound for the far war — first the tanks, then the nukes. Saturday the campaign finally leaves the palace: New Hampshire in the morning, South Carolina between the columns by night, the generals named, just the beginning. And long past midnight, alone with the phone, he types the nickname again — the governor he made, now the rival. In Manhattan, a grand jury is waking up.
