Coming Soon: Pmurt, Trump's arch-rival
To keep the narrative engaging, strong political figures like Trump may benefit from having an arch-rival, such as the fictional character Pmurt. This creates a dynamic and unpredictable storyline. Heroes need adversaries to avoid predictability a...

Pmurt - pronounced exactly the way it is spelt - will not just share the centre stage to (try and) foil Trump's plans, but also will ensure the narrative doesn't descend into the drudgery of sheer predictability where 'Drill, baby, drill' is simply replaced by, say, 'Tariffs, baby, tariffs', or 'Elon, baby yours?'
