Imagine stumbling into the ruthless world of politics completely clueless — that’s David’s nightmare come true. David’s political donations and TV station takeover plans reveal just how costly mistakes can be in this cutthroat game. After recklessly funneling $1 million to over 40 state politicians and even a losing presidential candidate, David is now desperately praying for the president’s mercy, hoping to stay in his good graces.
Full of regret (and probably a little panic), David swears on everything holy he’ll never again donate to anyone but the reigning president — a last-ditch effort to keep some power in his corner. Before the president — who also happens to be a friend of David’s dad — can even blink, David drops another bomb: he’s working hard to snag control of a shiny new TV station, and he’s ready to share the reins.
Cue the president’s silent judgment: “What a pathetic businessman,” he thinks, laughing inwardly at the “utter fool.” But David’s got a secret weapon — unlimited lifetime commercial airtime after CBS’s primetime hit, 60 Minutes. Imagine the ad possibilities: unlimited promos, endless airtime to push whatever he wants. For a rookie in the cutthroat biz world, that’s the kind of deal most would kill for.
Whether David’s about to bounce back or crash and burn? Only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure: in the game of politics and media, you better know the rules before you play. David’s political donations and TV station takeover gambit might cost him everything — or be the start of an unexpected comeback.
TL;DR:
- David admits he blew $1 million on politicians and a losing candidate, totally clueless about political fallout.
- Now begging the president’s mercy, pledges to donate only to him moving forward.
- Also working on taking over a new TV station — sharing control as a power move.
- President’s lowkey thinks David’s a joke but can’t resist the lure of unlimited commercials after 60 Minutes.
- David’s rookie mistakes might cost him — or lead to an unexpected comeback.
