Overview

Written in four acts presented across two parts, TRUMPED: An Alternative Musical is a satirical stage play that parodies the 2016 Presidential Election campaign of Donald Trump and his subsequent time in office as the 45th President of the United States.

Opening on the final day of the July 2016 Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio, Act I tells the story behind the Trump campaign's journey from the outsider of the Republican field to the unexpected winner of the Electoral College with a questionable victory.

Covering the Russia meeting at Trump Tower, all three election debates against the Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, and the attempts of the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, to ensure a win for the Trump campaign in the state of Wisconsin, Act I concludes at the end of November 8, election day, as the final results come in.

With the election over and Donald Trump set to become the 4th President, Act II opens the day following the election as both the world and the current President, Barack Obama, are all still in shock at the previous day's result.

Concluding toward the end of Trump's first year in office, Act II covers his and his Vice President, Mike Pence's inaugurations, a visit to the White House by his German counterpart, Angela Merkel, and the apparent early collapse of the Trump regime brought about through the actions of Robert Mueller, the tweets of Donald Trump Junior, and the gullibility of Eric Trump, forcing the family to make a quick escape and leave another to fall in their place as Part One comes to a close.
