You’re Fired!
The Short Angry Political Life of Donald Trump
A Contemporary Rock Opera – Original Concept, Lyrics and Music by John M. Waller
The purpose of this satirical musical comedy is to dramatize for the American people that they have the power to drive the morally bankrupt and demonstrably corrupt individual that was surprisingly elected president in 2016 from office if the majority of them rise up as one to take action by protesting, contacting their elected officials, running for office, and most important of all, voting.
The story of the short unhappy political life of Donald Trump is told through the lens of the US Broadcast Network, a middle of the political spectrum cable news outlet, and their two-hour special report on the night that Donald Trump abruptly leaves office. The narrator/host is the well-loved and trusted anchor David Johnstone and his panel of 4 talking heads, representing the far left and right and two moderate political commentators. Throughout the broadcast, David cuts away to reports on the ground across the country to see the reaction of normal Americans; however, most of the show is a retrospective on how we got to this point where for only the second time in 240+ years of our nation, a sitting president resigned before being forced from office by the accumulation of his crimes and actions.
