The Manchurian Trump [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Ok, so this is not a diary. I am not bringing any breaking news, punditry, or opinions here. It is more of a plea; an attempt to reach out to those more talented than I, versed in video editing and possibly AI, who can put this idea to fruition.

Here is the premise; movie spoilers below:

Do you know that movie The Manchurian Candidate? The old one, or the new one. But the new one is the one that would be used for clips. When Liev Schreiber is given his name three times, everything goes brighter for him, and then he’s whisked off into an operating room?

And you know the Trump-Putin meeting in Helsinki, when he kicked out the American interpreter, to only be in the room with Putin, and his Russian interpreter?

I imagine here is what that went like. As soon as the American interpreter was out, and the doors closed, Putin goes:

Donald?

Donald Trump?

Donald Jessica Trump?

And Trump goes into full zombie mode as his vision brightens and he says, “Yes sir.”

A secret door opens where the bookcase was, and Putin ushers him into a brightly lit operating room, with beeping machines and doctors in scrubs. But you can tell they’re all Russian, because they’re all scared to be there.

And Putin says, “Have a seat here Donald, we don’t have a lot of time. We just need to do a little re-calibration.”

And Trump just sits down with a smile on his face.

I would be eternally grateful to you if you could pull this off.
