Some would say I'm the best Hole Guy ever. Not like those losers who go nuts.Of course the verdict was VERY UNFAIR - they were meant to be a jury of his peers, but none of them were billionaires. Still, the trial got AMAZING ratings. Now locked up in Smallhand State Prison, our presidential protagonist goes full Samuel Pepys and attempts the first BESTSELLER to be written entirely on toilet paper.Life inside is tough for Trump: he experiences withdrawal symptoms from social media and is no longer able to watch Fox News all day.

So, when one of his sisters is injured at a protest rally, he drags his family to Bath for the summer, hiring a chaperone to keep them safe. The one thing he doesn't plan for is his overwhelming but inexplicable attraction to the chaperone herself - an outspoken conundrum of a woman who soon causes him more trouble than both his sisters combined.
