Chapter 1: Introduction
The Oval Office was a symphony of power and opulence, a room where decisions that shaped the world were made. The walls, adorned with portraits of past presidents, seemed to watch over the current occupant with a mix of pride and judgment. The heavy curtains, drawn back to reveal the manicured lawns and the Washington Monument in the distance, framed the room like a stage set for a high-stakes drama. The air was thick with the scent of old leather and the faintest hint of cigar smoke, a remnant of the president's recent indulgence.
Donald Trump sat behind the Resolute Desk, his fingers drumming a restless beat on the polished wood.
