He found inspiration in the so-called ping-pong diplomacy of the 1970s that help bring groundbreaking openings between Communist Party Chairman Mao and President Richard Nixon. Eventually, Trump and his twin brother are able to reunite. At one point in the opera, Kim Jong Un visits the United States and meets with Trump, who teaches the North Korean leader how to turn his country’s economy around overnight by partnering with Coca-Cola to develop a Coke brand infused with ginseng.
