THE LAST DAYS OF TRUMP (A Liberal Fantasy)
It’s election night in the year 2028 and aging two-term President Donald Trump is finally about to be replaced for good. Will he go rogue like last time or will a plan to keep him focused on more golf, gorillas, sharks, porn, and developing his “perfect” presidential library avert disaster?
This new play begins with a declining Trump watching the results of the 2028 US election that will choose his successor. Yes, it’s set in the future! The Chairman of the Joints Chiefs of Staff is concerned and engages White-House-intern-cum-Chief-of-Staff Morgan to keep Trump occupied developing his Presidential Library – one without books no less. But the library project reinvigorates Trump and fate hands him a chance to achieve the dictatorial status he craves. But will fate intervene again for the liberals?
Written and directed by Eoin Carney, an early incarnation I, Trump played at the INDYfringe and Pittsburgh Fringe festivals in the United States to enthusiastic audiences (and a few walkouts by unimpressed Trump supporters). Revised to reflect our rapidly changing world, The Last Days of Trump played at the 2025 Buxton Festival Fringe featuring a Manchester-based Anglo-American cast. A last-minute short run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe followed which was a great success. Less a partisan hit-job than a satire about unintended consequences and the hand of fate, this political comedy explores how we all would love to be a dictator deep down.
The show lasts one hour.
