Jack versus President Trump


Jack was always presented as having a long-standing rivalry with Trump. They were always trying to outdo each other and even had regular poker nights ("only the wives changed").

What would he make of his rival taking the presidency?

Ha, well I thought the same thing back when Trump cemented his pop culture status with the debut of his hit reality show (then) "The Apprentice".

Interestingly, that show debuted at the end of 2003, and "Just Shoot Me" had gone off the air earlier that year.

With that reality show, I felt that Trump significantly ascended to a new level of prestige that dwarfed all the alleged acts that Jack tried to match on "Just Shoot Me".

A story: on his inauguration day, Blush release a special edition of their magazine. Jack, unbeknownst to DJT, has made secret recordings that implicate him in criminal scandal, ranging from extortion to prostitution. Maya writes the story. The bombshell resonates worldwide, and the police arrest Trump just as he's about to take his oath. As he's being hauled into the cop car, Jack lets out an almighty "HA!" Maya wins the Pulitzer, and Blush circulation reaches record highs.

B story: Elliot and Finch do something mean to Nina.
