It occurred to me after I re-read this that I wasn't sure if this takes place before the end of the 2nd term or after. Are you going to put in dates?

I am not going to put in dates because I am truncating the history in favor of the story but it is all based on actual stuff that has happened or is part of the public rhetoric that may or may not actually happen. I pretend that it will happen to play it out as a story. For instance, an impeachment wouldn't happen until after the midterms if the democrats take the house and senate. So my story speeds that up a little bit. It is forward thinking. I am having trump impeached before the end of the 4 years of this term. It is wishful thinking. And I am not accounting for the extreme damage that is already baked in the cake on a reputational and economic level for the USA. It looks like we are headed toward some dark stuff this next 6 months alone as things play out.

When I first started reading it, I heard in my head the 2 pizzicato notes (notes plucked on a stringed instrument) like on “Law & Order”. I haven’t watched it in a long time, so I don’t really remember if they gave a date and time. I’m sure you know better than I what you are doing. :-)

That’s shaping up nicely. It gave me a chuckle or 2. Even though his Presidency is dangerous, his antics and stupidity provide lots of fodder. 👍

there are a total of 13 chapters. It is a fictional story after all. If it were factual it would have to be a 26 vol. encyclopedia
