AN ALTERNATIVE MUSICAL ABOUT AN ALTERNATIVE PRESIDENT
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.
