Trump, a demi-God, is unjustly punished by the Gods-the political elites and the lying media-for his heroic effort to bring salvation to a suffering humanity. Chained to a rock, he is condemned for all eternity to have his liver picked out by a bird of prey only for it to grow back again the next day.

He is visited by his sorrowing family Ivainia, Malignia, Erikus, and Juniorius; badgered by the Blind Seers (the pundits); comforted by a Chorus of Deplorables; browbeaten by the Lost Republicans who are enraged by what he has done to their party; and comforted by the Czar of the Dark Empire, Putinius.

Finally, he has to endure the outrage of the taunts of his bitter rival, Hillaria, the Evil Witch of the East.

Yet all is not lost. A deus ex machina in the person of the great God Chaos arrives at the last instant to deliver unexpected election results.

In Trump Unbound, a pastiche of the Greek tragedy by Aeschylus, playwright Charles Duncombe, winner of the Fratti Newman award for political playwriting, takes a satiric look at the country's new President and the bitterly divisive election that got him there.
