- Synopsis
- On the enthusiastic recommendation of one of his earthly minions, the devil (Luther) identifies his man: Donald Trump. He is in the process of finally deciding to run for President, but no one -- not even peers like Rupert Murdoch and Michael Bloomberg -- gives him any chance of success. Luther can change that and take possession of a soul that can use the world's highest office to promote Satan's agenda -- chaos, greed, and rage against all that is decent in the world.
  Trump announces his candidacy in a rambling speech, in which he calls Mexicans rapists and boasts about (and exaggerates) his wealth. The media coverage is brutal. The New York Daily News coverage the next day depicts him as a clown.
  Luther is disappointed -- and skeptical. "What kind of psycho would vote for this fool?" he asks his minions. "Even my followers have some kind of sanity. Common sense."
  Despite his doubts, he is convinced. "There will never be another opportunity like this,". One of his minions pleads. "He'll be the poster boy for mayhem and destruction."
  Luther, unannounced and uninvited, visits Trump at Trump Tower. When Trump's bodyguard, former New York cop Keith Schiller, tries to eject him from the office, Luther reduces him to rubble, then makes his pitch to Trump: "I can help you become President."
  Trump rejects the overture. Luther is insistent. "Sooner or later -- sooner, most likely -- you'll realize you need me."
  Trump's problems immediately escalate. The media and other Republican candidates demand that he release his tax returns. His own attorney, Michael Cohen, suggests he drop out of the race rather than face dangerous scrutiny. Forbes magazine breaks the story that funds donated to the Eric Trump Foundation are diverted to Trump for his personal use. "In effect," Forbes says, "this maneuver would appear to have more in common with a drug cartel's money-laundering operation than a charity's best-practices textbook." Things get even worse. A class action lawsuit for fraud against Trump University gains traction and gets massive media coverage.
  Trump is sold. Despite his objection to the fact Satan will get his soul in return for an election victory, he commits to the deal. His prospects turn around overnight. He rises in the polls. Skeptics, including his family, become believers.He wins the election. And delivers, bigly, on Luther's request for "the darkest inaugural address in the American history."
