Trumpeter Swan in the Bird House: The First 100 Days

Shaking your head about the presidency of Donald J. Trump?

Trumpeter Swan in the Bird House: The First 100 Days is a hilarious political satire where all the politicians are birds, and the locations are elaborate “nests” built above famous buildings such as the White House (“the Bird House”), CIA, FBI, the Kremlin, and Trump Tower.  

    

Trumpeter Swan is a mega-wealthy New York real estate developer who rises to the pinnacle of American bird politics, becoming the unlikely occupant of “the Oval Nest.”

●    Follow Trumpeter Swan from his controversial campaign for the presidency, into the “Oval Nest,” and through his wildly erratic, unprecedented, and desperate first 100 days in office.

●    All of the familiar scandals are here: the Inaugural Crowd disputes, the Russian meddling in the presidential election, the presidential tweeting scandals, the “WallBird Street and GoldBird Sachs Cabinet” scandal, the nepotism scandal, the peddling of Igota Swan's clothing line, the CIA speech fiasco, the Press Secretary controversies, and so on.

●    All leading up to investigations by the Central Bird Intelligence Agency and the Federal Bureau of Bird Investigations.  

Where the Streets Have No Name

It is Monday morning on a heat-baked southern California day and the task ahead is to make sense of the continued ramblings and backwards rantings of an administration that has so far confounded, confused and cast a thousand doubts on the continued relevance of the United States on the world stage.

In just five months, President Donald John Trump has managed to execute his plan for America: Make America Scratch its Collective Head with a program of alternative news and manufactured facts that have just about everyone, including the most rabid of supporters, wondering what strange, crazed, slapdash "policy" will drop next.

Everyone appears to be walking around in a very special political fog, the kind of semi-high that closely approximates the severe let-down of a monumental hangover.  Where is this all headed? No one seems to have the courage or clarity to guess. Or is it just that the obvious seems a bit too much to contemplate? Trump's Pied Piper, Steve Bannon, has indicated a desire to unsettle expectations and this has become the keyword for an administration that moves left when everyone expects it to move right, and right when everyone expects it to...govern. America's allies are shaking with fear, while America's enemies are laughing and pinching themselves.

Another day, another dollar. Another sunrise over the Capital of a very confused nation. And we're less than half a year into a presidency that will almost certainly prove to be the most upside down in the long history of Imperial presidencies.

Even the fabled  looking glass is beginning to have a lot more clarity than this administration and its struggling, often floundering leader.
