God sent down an angel from heaven named Apollyon who was supposed to secure American borders in a time of great commerce and traffic, when mismanaged immigration might lead to all kinds of urban anarchy and crime and piracy. Apollyon donned a metallic armor and bulletproof chest and mask and walked around San Diego and New York as a 'street-patrolling' immigration-officer named the Winter Soldier [WS]. The WS was a diplomat of American pride.
God had reason to worry. Poor immigration policies by the Trump Administration and even poorer policies regarding immigration policy-PR created quite a social stir and in some places, uproars. Political cartoonists were talking rather liberally about the lowly-state of American society because of unrefined immigration policy. President Trump meanwhile had no real solution to the problem of racism-clouding pluralism in America.
A terrible gang formed in NY called the Baseball-Haters, run by a leader named Wily. The Baseball-Haters wore MLB jerseys/uniforms (usually Yankees) and wielded bats and ran around in the late hours of the night creating 'social-control' by threatening vagrants and random people walking in the streets late at night. It was this gang that WS hated the most, so when WS ran into Wily, he told him, "Abandon these streets and take your mean bats with you, or I'll tell everyone your father was a homosexual!"
As order and sanity began to take shape in again in various U.S. cities and bordertowns, WS realized his mission was being accomplished. WS decided to visit a Catholic church and he appreciated a stained-glass graphic depicting Jesus teaching a group of people, which may have been a portrait of the delivery of passages from the Book of Matthew (Christian Bible). WS concluded that pluralism in America simply required a fair deal of 'dungeon-meditation.'
WS visited a wedding of an Asian-Indian man and women in upstate NY and noted how ritually/culturally/ornamentally a Hindu-Indian wedding differed from a Catholic-Caucasian wedding in NY. WS took photos and posted them onto his Facebook page and made comments such as, "Both Hindu and Catholic brides may appreciate the feminism of Wonder Woman (DC Comics), but they have unique ways of celebrating women's fashions, which is what we want 'TrumpUSA' to honor...privacy."
Celebrities Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise wanted to produce a film about WS and Leo DiCaprio to portray WS in the film, directed by Steven Spielberg or Martin Scorsese. The film would depict WS being a great fan/consumer of Gerber baby-food and would be titled Winter-Soldier: American Dreamcatcher. The film was made with a $30 million fee and made $100 million in profits/sales. Cruise tweeted, "The Winter Soldier is a symbol now of 'American beauty'." Hanks decided to make a comics-adaptation of the film for his comic book enterprise he co-ran with artist/illustrator/writer William Gibson called Archangel Comics.
It turned out that WS was in fact a big fan of Gerber baby-food. In fact, he ate a jar of it religiously every Sunday for breakfast/brunch. He liked the beef-and-gravy, the bananas, the fruit-medley, and other flavors/varieties/offerings of Gerber. WS would sometimes even tweet about Gerber, saying things like, "It's in the marketing of baby food that we find some hidden offbeat 'magic' of capitalism/consumerism, since, of course, kids and adults alike appreciate the 'private splendor' of baby food!" God told WS his mission to stabilize capitalism (and the American Dream) was very 'marketable.'
TRUMP: I'm a big fan of the Winter Soldier.
CARTER: Did you like the Spielberg film?
TRUMP: Any media glorifying American splendor is satisfactory!
CARTER: People still despise your immigration policies...
TRUMP: That's why we continue to 'market' our platforms.
CARTER: This is the Age of Media...
TRUMP: Sometimes, I miss the days of Trump Taj Mahal.
CARTER: Atlantic City is a great symbol of tourism for immigrants.
TRUMP: I like that Susan Sarandon film Atlantic City.
CARTER: I wonder if the Winter Soldier was an 'angel of God.'
TRUMP: Yes, everyone's wondering where he disappeared.
CARTER: America will always draw 'drama defenders.'
