How will people remember the pro-capitalism of the presidency of Donald Trump in the context of non-economics based geo-politics (e.g., Irish politics)? Will people/groups who express anti-American sentiments (e.g., ISIS) claim that electing a finance-wizard as U.S. President in this age of profiteerism-gauged geo-political networking (e.g., European Union, NATO, etc.) undermines pedestrian idealism regarding non-economics related political 'folk storytelling'?

We've come a long way since the days of Reaganomics, when a movie actor changed the way the American government managed consumerism. Reagan enjoyed the perks of positive public reviews of his romantic presidential speeches, so how will Trump (a 'finance-celebrity') be romanticized?

I felt sorry for Trump (perhaps for the first time) and wanted to lend a 'yellow journalism' hand, so I wrote this comic book stylized fan-fic about an idealistic Irish-American woman named Meaghan whose interaction with the pro-capitalism Trump Administration creates a potentially pro-gender outlook in Irish politics.

Roderick Kingsley, the fashion designer who joined the IRA, was being tracked by an idealistic young Irish-American woman named Meaghan who wanted to stop Kingsley from becoming a real threat to the political cause of the Irish in Belfast. Meaghan empathized with the problems faced by the Irish people since the days of Michael Collins and the partition of Ireland and wanted to see the legacy of the Provos IRA not be dismissed as a 'reactionary element' in geo-politics. Kingsley was too dangerous, Meaghan thought, and she had a good reason to be so paranoid.

Kingsley fashioned himself an orange-colored outfit and started carrying pumpkins fitted with explosives. He had his engineer friend design him a special mini jet-glider which enabled him to soar around Belfast as if he was on a hovering skateboard. Kingsley started calling himself the rogue-IRA 'agent' the Hobgoblin, and soon British authorities came to know him as a real force for the uncontrollable IRA. Meaghan firmly believed Hobgoblin's rogue tactics enabled the British press to paint the IRA as a band of fanatical bandit-like criminals wielding bombs instead of pens in the political pulpit and discrediting the legitimacy of the political (and legal) 'arm' of the IRA, Sinn Fein (which was currently in the process of trying to negotiate a peace treaty with the United Kingdom regarding the marketing of Air Ireland in the travel-tourism industry).

Meaghan wanted to intercept Hobgoblin when got word that the menace was planning a pumpkin-bomb barrage at London Bridge on Halloween Eve. Meaghan showed up at the bridge on the fateful day and used her machine-gun to liberally spray bullets all around Hobgoblin's flight path and generally creating enough of a disturbance to draw media attention away from Hobgoblin's power. There were multiple London Times reporters at London Bridge that Halloween, and they recorded Meaghan's attempts at downing the Hobgoblin with her special machine-gun and described the IRA 'vigilante' as a modern-era Joan of Arc. Soon, everyone was saying Hobgoblin's reign of upstart pumpkin-bomb fire had ended and Meaghan was to receive the credit. Meaghan would become the primary consultant for the Irish Embassy and personal representative to the Trump Administration for America's new free-market initiatives in Belfast and Dublin aimed to give Sinn Feinn more political weight in the British Parliament through mercantile methodology.
