Barry Robbins

Two-time award-winning humor author Barry Robbins is a former accountant, but he hopes you’d never guess. He combined his interest in politics with his disdain for a certain current politician whose name rhymes with Dump, and an unfettered imagination, to produce the satirical world of Oh Daddy Chronicles, now consisting of four books. He spent his time in exile in the accounting world at a large, international accounting firm. It lasted 26 years. Then he quit. He moved to balmy Finland with his two beautiful daughters and Finnish wife. Not knowing the language, he followed in the footsteps of most expats and became adept at taking out the trash. But he also developed another pair of eyes – seeing the world and the U.S. differently. He now resides principally in Florida. With two first-place awards for Humor under his belt, Robbins wonders if he has put a dent in the accountant stereotype

A Note from the Author

Welcome, readers, to a narrative teeming with the familiar and the unfamiliar, the real and the imagined. We venture into the uncharted territories of Donald J. Trump’s life behind bars, where the gold-plated façade crumbles to reveal a man wrestling with himself. But, let’s be clear, this is not a tale of redemption; it is a plunge into the comedic, the tragic, and the outright absurd.

Throughout this story, you will encounter a Trump who is, at times, reflective, remorseful, even vulnerable—qualities that may seem antithetical to the man we’ve come to know. Skepticism might greet these moments, and rightly so. After all, this is a man whose public persona has been etched in bravado and defiance.

But what makes this narrative different is the idea of Trump confronting, possibly for the first time, the man he truly is. Imagine the man who has seemingly escaped accountability, now cornered by the four walls of a cell and the relentless mirror of self-reflection. It’s a scenario that many have yearned for—a kind of poetic justice, seeing him stripped of the trappings of power and privilege, left to grapple with his own shadows.

As you navigate through the chapters, you’ll find moments of levity and mockery, a glimpse into a world where the once-mighty Donald Trump fumbles and stumbles. It’s a journey designed to be as entertaining as it is thought-provoking, where the lines between reality and fiction blur, and the man behind the headlines is laid bare, in all his complexities and contradictions.

Please remember, however, that this work is purely fictional, unspooling an alternate reality wherein this known public persona dances through crafted, intriguing scenarios. It’s pivotal to stress that the events, dialogues, and introspections are simply flights of fancy, bearing no reflection upon the actual individual.

One other note. No book is born in isolation. The creation of this book has unfolded through a unique collaborative process. I, Barry Robbins, as the author, owe a debt of gratitude to the creative prowess of OpenAI’s large language model, GPT-4, my faithful and ingenious writing partner. Its computational creativity has played an invaluable role in bringing these narratives to life. Yet, while GPT-4’s contributions are significant, the soul of the book—the seeds of creativity, the never ending flow of ideas, the ebullience, and the human touch—radiates from my own imagination. The blend, we hope, is something unique and entertaining.

So, buckle up for a ride that’s as unpredictable as the man it’s centered around. Whether you’re here for the laughs, the revelations, or the sheer curiosity of exploring an alternative Trump reality, there’s something in these pages for you. Enjoy the tumble and the tangle as we unravel the enigma of Donald Trump in a world where the tables have turned, and the laughter echoes louder than the protests.

May life imitate art.

Warmly,

Barry Robbins and GPT-4

About the Author

Prologue

The Precipitous Fall

Beneath beams of an indifferent moon, he weeps,

A man once adorned in gold, now in misery steeped.

Draped in burdens, he walks, head bowed, sullen,

No cheers, no throngs, in desolate silence, fallen.

His empire, his might, disintegrated to dust,

Tales of glories, corroded by tarnish and rust.

Echoes bounce in the emptiness, once loud, now mute,

In relentless, ceaseless, solitude, he’s destitute.

In the belly of ignominy, he’s ensnared, confined,

With echoes of grandeur, tormenting the mind.

This is a tale of a pinnacle, crumbled, erased,

In the hallways of downfall, his footsteps are traced.

Chapter 1

The Farewell

Sunlight bathed Mar-a-Lago in a warm, comforting glow, offering a silent mockery to the cold future laying in wait for Donald Trump. As he strolled through his opulent sanctuary for what might be the last time in a long while, he caressed the golden embellishments with a delicate touch that belied his robust exterior. His instructions to the chef, Prepare my favorite meal for my return, reverberated with a defiance that barely concealed a thinly-veiled trepidation simmering beneath.

His steps echoed through the lavish halls, a lonesome melody amidst the palpable disinterest of his kin. Melania’s eyes, hidden behind the glossy sheen of a magazine, offered a vacant farewell, while Barron, lost in a virtual world, was blissfully oblivious to the emotional gravity unfolding around him. Their silent goodbyes were laced with an undercurrent of relief, barely perceptible yet unmistakably present.

Instructing Don Jr. to Take care of things elicited a distracted nod, the younger Trump’s eyes glued to his smartphone, an invisible barrier shielding him from the impending upheaval. A lone phone call shattered the veneer of familial apathy, a voice from Oklahoma, quivering with both adulation and pity, offering a solitary beacon of support in a sea of silent indifference.

As Donald’s eyes gazed upon the golden gates – a symbol of his once impenetrable fortress of wealth and power – a maelstrom of defiance and apprehension churned within him. His family, mere silhouettes against the opulent backdrop, offered no comfort as he stepped into a world devoid of gold-plated luxury and adoring crowds. A scoff, bitter and laden with unspoken emotions, escaped his lips. I’ll be back, and when I am, they’ll all see.

The car, unremarkable against the extravagance of Mar-a-Lago, ushered him away, and as the gates closed behind, so did the chapter of unabashed luxury and omnipotence in the life of Donald Trump.

Chapter 2

A New Reality

The blazing sun beat down unrelentingly as the prison bus, a vessel of despair, groaned to a stop. Peering through the barred windows, Trump squinted against the sunlight, trying to discern the details of his new confines. The fortress-like walls and looming watchtowers cast stark shadows, mirroring the dark reality that enveloped him. It wasn’t merely a backdrop for a photo op nor a stage for showmanship—this was to be his world now, a reality he had never dared to contemplate.

When the bus doors hissed open, a symbolic gateway to a new world, Trump and the others were corralled into a lifeless single line. They were a motley crew of fear and acceptance; expressions varied, but eyes universally downcast. Luxury was a distant memory, now replaced by the chilling embrace of concrete and the unyielding grasp of steel bars. Tension hung in the air, a palpable entity, its presence pronounced by the bark of guards and the shuffling of feet.

As a guard pressed against him during the pat-down, his voice oozed sarcasm. Missin’ that red tie yet? Laughter rippled through the guards. Don’t think of running for Warden, jeered another. Trump, feeling the sting of each jab, forcibly held his tongue, swallowing bitter retorts.

The name? droned the processing officer.

Donald Trump, he uttered, injecting as much of his once-ubiquitous confidence into the words as he could muster.

For a moment, the officer’s professional facade slipped, revealing a flicker of amused surprise before he scribbled down the information. Step into reality, Prisoner #45892.
