*SPOILER ALERT*

(For this marked-off section of text).

Certain portions of this program's online 'liner note' documentation will be labelled or preceded with the words '*SPOILER ALERT*'. This is to denote that the following detailed description, including the disclosure and accreditation of specific derived content used in the content being described, might spoil the listener's experience prior to listening. For best listening effect, it is recommended for the listener to NOT READ such 'SPOILER ALERT' labelled documentation PRIOR TO LISTENING in order to preserve the spirit of delightful recognition and surprise which is an intended effect when hearing this altogether re-contextualized and culturally referenced material.

This track opens up with an excerpt from a video from 'The Majority Report w/ Sam Seder' called 'Trump Gives Dumbest Mothers Day Message In History' and can be seen here:

To answer a hypothetical question in this clip, we inject another unrelated clip from The Washington Post which is an exchange between (then) President Trump and Hock E. Tan, president of tech company Broadcom meeting in the Oval Office. This clip can be seen here:

We then see an interview clip from the CBS Evening News of Trump as he travels abroad, as President, to Scotland which can be viewed in its entirety here:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCeuxKcpA_A

Following this is a statement on whether we should envy the rich (in regards to Trump's upbringing and history) by Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks.

Trump's niece, Mary Trump, in the same interview which essentially opens up the biographical portion of this entire program delivers, at the end, the denouement, of this work.

Her final, shining statement, set (by NCN) against the Han Zimmer OST music for the 2008 Christopher Nolan film, 'The Dark Knight', is THE POINT. It is the ethical higih water mark of this program. It is a statement which clearly rings true not just for her own work, her best-selling book 'Too Much and Never Enough' but also for THIS work which we have created as well.

The track ends with a monologue by comedian J-L Cauvin who is widely considered to be (by mainstream media) 'The Best Trump Impersonator on the Planet' and we would at THE FUNNIEST and it has been our honor and privilege to work with him in recordings we wrote and commissioned from him in other (upcoming) volumes of this series. His Youtube channel is called 'Trump the Internet' and you can subscribe to it here:

www.youtube.com/c/TrumpTheInternet

And you can see the 'Mother's Day' video we use in this track here:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=taI0vvYrTxU

The mashup that we splice into J-L's monologue is called 'Danzig and The Temptations - Mother Was a Rolling Stone' and is by Bill McClintock and the video for it can be found here:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dz7RGARtAgc

Easter egg: there is a potential play-on-words with the lyrics here which can be heard as...

"...all he left us was a loan'.

Trump's Father famously (allegedy) gave him a 'small loan' of 1 million dollars to kickstart his career.

The very very final piece at the end (which I won't spoil by naming) was done by 'Polka Floyd'.

------------------

The program that this track is a part of, 'THE APOCALYPSE OF DONALD J. TRUMP (Vol. 1): The Origin Story', was made in the early part of the summer of 2021 and was worked on over a number of months and streamed in developing form over NCN's live bi-weekly webcast.

The title's use of 'Origin Story' is a riff on a term given to film vehicles which are essentially prequels, often applied to cinematic villains (such as Darth Vader or The Joker) showing the audience 'how they got that way'. Since Donald J. Trump is literally almost a larger-than-life cinematic 'villain' (almost an amalgam of 'the main bad guy' in every Steven Segal movie ever made) we thought we would give him his own real-life 'origin story' told in our own psychedelic and artistic sound collage media mix form.

This mix might very well be eye-opening to those of you who think you 'know Trump' and most listeners are bound to learn most likely more than a little more about the 'making of this monster' by listening to this program.
