Setting: A lavish TV studio set. Cameras flashing, audience clapping. There’s a prominent desk with a shiny sign: “The Trump Hour”.
Cast:
Donald Trump (played by Alec Baldwin)
Various show guests (including Eddie)
Studio Audience
TV crew
Trump (Baldwin): (Smiling, waving) “Welcome, everyone, to the greatest show on Earth - ‘The Trump Hour’! Tremendous lineup tonight!”
Audience: (Loud applause)
Trump (Baldwin): “Our first guest tonight, a man of wisdom and knowledge, Eddie!”
Eddie: (Looking bewildered) “Uh… Thanks, Don. Happy to be… here?”
Trump (Baldwin): “Eddie, tell the people about our latest venture.”
Eddie: (Hesitates) “You mean… the crayons?”
Trump (Baldwin): “The MAGA crayons, Eddie! The ones that let you draw your own reality!”
Eddie: (Nervously) “Right… Um, with these crayons, folks, you can… change the world?”
Trump (Baldwin): (Beaming) “Exactly! No more fake news! Draw your own stories!”
Audience: (Cheering)
Trump (Baldwin): “Now, for a special segment. Tweets of the week!” (Takes out a piece of paper) “Ahem. ‘Just had the most tremendous steak in Shawshank. Best ever!’”
Eddie: (Whispering) “That was gruel, Don.”
Trump (Baldwin): (Ignoring Eddie) “And another one: ‘Huge rally in Cell Block C. Tremendous crowd!’”
Eddie: “That was lunchtime…”
Trump (Baldwin): “Moving on! Our musical guest, the Shawshank Shakers!” (No music plays, just the sound of distant clanging)
Suddenly, the studio starts to shake, and the illusion starts to crack. The lavish set fades, replaced by cold, gray walls. The audience becomes rows of empty beds, the TV crew transforms into prison guards.
Guard: “Lights out, Trump!”
Eddie: (Sighing) “Every night…”
Trump (Baldwin): (Holding his crayon, looking around the prison cell) “They loved me, Eddie. Did you see that crowd?”
