COMEDY, DRAMA

Trump uses cunning power plays and money moves to wield congress to have to make an undercover deal with him to as he wants. He secretly concedes the election and goes on to great wealth developing real estate deals in Moscow while expanding his sphere and family's influence from Florida. Trump shows he is smarter than he acts, but a small hiccup at a weekend in the Hamptons with a Russian oligarch threatens his success and his life.

Yes the book profile accurately depicts the story presented in the book. The pitch could include further themes as to why the plot is marketable because a more indepth summary just enhances the logline and short summary. It might be better to include a congress character such as Pelosi and of Schumer as the dog character has far less scenes.

The satire that Trump is the mastermind behind the outcome of booth Congress and the presidential election is interesting as is the Russian politics imagined at the Hampton retreat. The direction of the plot progression is tied just enough to the real world that is plausible but is the more exciting and hopeful version of what could have transpired.

There are a lot of characters the require total fluency in American politics and rely on prior knowledge of political personalities to create tension at certain points in the narrative which may not age well if personalities are forgotten as many side characters are not established or three-dimensional based solely on their mentions in the book. Making sure the side characters function without prior knowledge to their real- life persona would help the story stand -alone regardless of who it is based on or the literacy of the audience.

THE STORY RELIES A LITTLE BIT ON SPECIAL EFFECTS

The hook is that there is a kidnapping of Trump's son that sets of an unprecedented chain of events involving changing the wealth of the Trump empire and the politics of the United States thanks to Russian aggressions.

The plot is quite dense with political exposition so may fare as more popular with a smaller educated crowd, but depending on the genre and focus on the Wolfhampton weekend versus the political backstory, this could have a larger audience if less satirical and more action oriented with a smaller focus of the timeline.

This is unlikely to have awards potential because while the characters are satires of real life characters, the individual characters are mostly static and thus do no show range as needed for acting nominations based off the roles provided.

THE DEATH OF STALIN, VEEP, THE BIG SHORT, WEST WING, PARKS AND REC, BORAT

The originality stems from the imagined moments such as the kidnapping and weekend with the Russian because it provides unexpected outcomes. Having a smaller focus on the timeline could help the characters expand in original ways as well rather than being packed with political change through reveals of hidden motivations to actual history.

Trump is shrewd, direct and remains slightly delusional but not always to his detriment. Putin is agitated and insecure. Pelosi is skeptical and calculating. Schumer is calm and methodical.

This is an interesting concept, but the characters are mainly static and the pacing stagnates through political discussions rather than a balance of actions.

WORK IN PROGRESS

While the story has many positive points, it has room for improvement (see possible paths below). If you can't change the story at this point, my suggestion is using your notes as a guide to highlight the best aspects of it when taking the next steps, either putting a pitch page together, a treatment, or a presentation.

Creating characters with clear internal conflicts and transformations that exist outside of prior knowledge to their real world counterpart will help them feel more three dimensional. All of the political discussion could be trimmed to focus more on showing action rather than telling it to correct some of the pacing. Streamlining the focus of the main conflict as consistently developing rather than pausing for subplots may also help adjust the pacing.
