"I Think It Would Be Fun To Run A Country"

 FADE IN:

EXT. XANADU - FAINT DAWN - 1940 (MINIATURE)Window, very small in the distance, illuminated.All around this is an almost totally black screen.  Now, as 
the camera moves slowly towards the window which is almost a 
postage stamp in the frame, other forms appear; barbed wire, 
cyclone fencing, and now, looming up against an early morning 
sky, enormous iron grille work.  Camera travels up what is now 
shown to be a gateway of gigantic proportions and holds on the 
top of it - a huge initial "T" showing darker and darker against 
the dawn sky.  Through this and beyond we see the fairy-tale 
mountaintop of Mar-A-Lago, the great castle a silhouette as its 
summit, the little window a distant accent in the darkness.
                                                                  DISSOLVE:A SERIES OF SET -UPS, EACH CLOSER TO THE GREAT WINDOW, ALL 
TELLING SOMETHING OF: The literally incredible domain of DONALD J TRUMP.Its right flank resting for nearly forty miles on the Atlantic
Coast, it truly extends in all directions farther than the eye 
can see.  Designed by nature to be almost completely bare and 
flat - it was, as will develop, practically all marshland when 
Trump acquired and changed its face - it is now pleasantly 
uneven, with its fair share of rolling hills and one very good-
sized mountain, all man-made.  Almost all the land is improved, 
either through cultivation for farming purposes of through 
careful landscaping, in the shape of parks and lakes.  The 
castle dominates itself, an enormous pile, compounded of several 
genuine castles, of European origin, of varying architecture - 
dominates the scene, from the very peak of the mountain.
                                                                  DISSOLVE:GOLF LINKS (MINIATURE)Past which we move.  The greens are straggly and overgrown, 
the fairways wild with tropical weeds, the links unused and 
not seriously tended for a long time.
                                                              DISSOLVE OUT:
                                                               DISSOLVE IN:WHAT WAS ONCE A GOOD-SIZED ZOO (MINIATURE)Of the Benjamin Mee type.  All that now remains, with one 
exception, are the individual plots, surrounded by moats, on 
which the animals are kept, free and yet safe from each other 
and the landscape at large.  (Signs on several of the plots 
indicate that here there were once tigers, lions, giraffes.)
                                                               DISSOLVE:THE MONKEY TERRACE (MINIATURE)In the foreground, a great obscene ape is outlined against the 
dawn murk.  He is scratching himself slowly, thoughtfully, 
looking out across the estates of Donald J Trump, to the 
distant light glowing in the castle on the hill.
                                                                  DISSOLVE:THE ALLIGATOR PIT (MINIATURE)The idiot pile of sleepy dragons.  Reflected in the muddy water - 
the lighted window.THE LAGOON (MINIATURE)The boat landing sags.  An old newspaper floats on the surface 
of the water - a copy of the New York Post. As it moves 
across the frame, it discloses again the reflection of the 
window in the castle, closer than before.THE GREAT SWIMMING POOL (MINIATURE)It is empty.  A newspaper blows across the cracked floor of 
the tank.
                                                                  DISSOLVE:THE COTTAGES (MINIATURE)In the shadows, literally the shadows, of the castle.  As we 
move by, we see that their doors and windows are boarded up 
and locked, with heavy bars as further protection and sealing.
                                                              DISSOLVE OUT:
                                                               DISSOLVE IN:A DRAWBRIDGE (MINIATURE)Over a wide moat, now stagnant and choked with weeds.  We move 
across it and through a huge solid gateway into a formal garden, 
perhaps thirty yards wide and one hundred yards deep, which 
extends right up to the very wall of the castle.  The 
landscaping surrounding it has been sloppy and causal for a 
long time, but this particular garden has been kept up in 
perfect shape.  As the camera makes its way through it, towards 
the lighted window of the castle, there are revealed rare and 
exotic blooms of all kinds.  The dominating note is one of 
almost exaggerated tropical lushness, hanging limp and 
despairing.  Moss, moss, moss.  Angkor Wat, the night the last 
King died.
                                                                  DISSOLVE:THE WINDOW (MINIATURE)Camera moves in until the frame of the window fills the frame 
of the screen.  Suddenly, the light within goes out.  This 
stops the action of the camera and cuts the music which has 
been accompanying the sequence.  In the glass panes of the 
window, we see reflected the ripe, dreary landscape of Mr. 
Trump's estate behind and the dawn sky.
                                                                  DISSOLVE:INT. KANE'S BEDROOM - FAINT DAWN -A very long shot of Trump's enormous bed, silhouetted against 
the enormous window.
                                                                  DISSOLVE:INT. TRUMP'S BEDROOM - FAINT DAWN - SNOW SCENE.  An incredible one.  Big, impossible flakes of snow, a too 
picturesque townhouse and a snow man wearing a red baseball cap.  The jingling of sleigh bells in the musical score now makes an ironic reference to Indian Temple bells - the music freezes -                                 TRUMP'S OLD OLD VOICE
               Covfefe...The camera pulls back, showing the whole scene to be contained 
in one of those glass balls which are sold in novelty stores 
all over the world.  A hand - Trump's hand, which has been 
holding the ball, relaxes.  The ball falls out of his hand and 
bounds down two carpeted steps leading to the bed, the camera 
following.  The ball falls off the last step onto the marble 
floor where it breaks, the fragments glittering in the first 
rays of the morning sun.  This ray cuts an angular pattern 
across the floor, suddenly crossed with a thousand bars of 
light as the blinds are pulled across the window.The foot of Trump's bed.  The camera very close.  Outlined 
against the shuttered window, we can see a form - the form of 
a nurse, as she pulls the sheet up over his head.  The camera 
follows this action up the length of the bed and arrives at 
the face after the sheet has covered it.
                                                                  FADE OUT:
