"This is a great crowd here at the Atlantis Correctional Facility. You folks do some of the best underwater in terms of wetness…what's that? Atlanta? Atlanta, I mean. How about those Seahawks?"
Make it somewhat like the SNL sketch, where we see what Trump is seeing, except this time, it's realistic, and only in the end, is it revealed that he was in prison all the time.
Setting: A lavish TV studio set. Cameras flashing, audience clapping. There's a prominent desk with a shiny sign: "The Trump Hour".
Cast:
Donald Trump (played by Alec Baldwin)
Various show guests (including Eddie)
Studio Audience
TV crew
Trump (Baldwin): (Smiling, waving) "Welcome, everyone, to the greatest show on Earth - 'The Trump Hour'! Tremendous lineup tonight!"
Audience: (Loud applause)
Trump (Baldwin): "Our first guest tonight, a man of wisdom and knowledge, Eddie!"
Eddie: (Looking bewildered) "Uh… Thanks, Don. Happy to be… here?"
Trump (Baldwin): "Eddie, tell the people about our latest venture."
Eddie: (Hesitates) "You mean… the crayons?"
Trump (Baldwin): "The MAGA crayons, Eddie! The ones that let you draw your own reality!"
Eddie: (Nervously) "Right… Um, with these crayons, folks, you can… change the world?"
Trump (Baldwin): (Beaming) "Exactly! No more fake news! Draw your own stories!"
Audience: (Cheering)
Trump (Baldwin): "Now, for a special segment. Tweets of the week!" (Takes out a piece of paper) "Ahem. 'Just had the most tremendous steak in Shawshank. Best ever!'"
Eddie: (Whispering) "That was gruel, Don."
Trump (Baldwin): (Ignoring Eddie) "And another one: 'Huge rally in Cell Block C. Tremendous crowd!'"
Eddie: "That was lunchtime…"
Trump (Baldwin): "Moving on! Our musical guest, the Shawshank Shakers!" (No music plays, just the sound of distant clanging)
Suddenly, the studio starts to shake, and the illusion starts to crack. The lavish set fades, replaced by cold, gray walls. The audience becomes rows of empty beds, the TV crew transforms into prison guards.
Guard: "Lights out, Trump!"
Eddie: (Sighing) "Every night…"
Trump (Baldwin): (Holding his crayon, looking around the prison cell) "They loved me, Eddie. Did you see that crowd?"
And then pretend the drawn audience is asking him while he wants to run for president of the cell block in that prison since he had already been disqualified for POTUS by Amendment 14, section 3.

Call it "Person woman man camera TV" and have those as the things he draws on the walls.
Now I want to see that Robot Chicken / SNL skit.

Very nice. 😀 👍
That’s an unparalleled writing prompt, could go in several directions. Noice.
I'd like to read it when you're finished.
