This is seriously the moment we're going to be talking about in 25 years when President Luthor, I mean President Trendon takes office.

This sounds like one of those “you won a free boat” notifications that the police send to people with outstanding warrants.

That would be BETTER than what actually just happened. I was perfectly played by one of our very own.

You were in on it, too? You have no idea how I nearly crashed the second time "he" called as I was pulling over.

Call # 2: The Invitation

my assistant: 'Hi, Mr. Lynch'

Trendon: 'yes'

my assistant: 'This is Nivian from Senator Nelson's office again, how are you?'

Trendon: says something cordial

my assistant: 'Senator Nelson was so impressed by your earlier conversation and enthusiasm in your letter that he was hoping you were free tomorrow evening to speak alongside him at an engagement in Washington'

Trendon: Trendon gasps (my assistant said she heard him lose his breath at that moment)

my assistant: Obviously, all the travel arrangements will be covered by our office but because we're not sure about all the details of the event I will need to email you information. Could i have your email, please?

Trendon: gives email

my assistant: thanks, i'll be following up shortly
