This is a story of fiction, any similarities to real people or events is merely coincidental.
In British slang "to trump" means to expel gas through the anus often in a highly audible way. I guess there are other things that one can "trump" out of their ass.

When I got out of college, my aspirations were to be the best political candidate the nation would ever know. Right now however I am still climbing the ladder working as one of the party's political advisors. I knew I was getting desperate when I took this position working in the campaign of a political outsider with no experience as a politician but chasing his own dream to become President.
After completing a long campaign through New England, everyone needed a break. We were allowed some time off from our duties to blow off some steam and relax after 3 months of campaigning 24/7.
While many staffers had scurried away to vacationland with their families or significant others, I still had to wrap up a few things. Then it was my duty to bring the Boss to the nearby airport before meeting some friends at their trailside condo about a ½ hour away. We spent another hour or as the Boss continued selling his vision for the country. Over a few rounds of Long Trail Ale at the local diner/ale house the locals soaked up his ideas and plans to awaken the local economy. Soon they all left in their pick-ups and snowmobiles to go home and weather out the arriving snow storm. All I wanted was to get on my way to ski with my buddies.
Not realizing how fast a nor'easter can move through New England, we soon realized that the weather was deteriorating rather quickly. I called ahead to the airport to make sure his jet was ready for immediate takeoff upon our arrival and got bad news. The pilot had been told by the air traffic controller at the small private airport that the airport was closed to landings or takeoffs due to the heavy ice and snow the storm had begun to deliver. Flights probably would not resume until Tuesday depending on how much the storm delivers. This storm already caused many roads to be shut down. No one was going anywhere. We were snowed in.
I immediately informed the Boss of the situation. He was very annoyed especially since even his mega money can't fix our situation with Mother Nature. I frantically called around for some other form of transport, but to no avail.
