Welcome to Trump-a-Lincoln-a-Lago. The story, set in the final year of the Trump administration, hinges on a groundbreaking find. A writer, doing research in a Richmond archive, discovers a dossier, hidden for more than 150 years. The reports within document the friendship between President Abraham Lincoln and a journalist for the Richmond Daily Whig, one of the leading newspapers of the Confederacy. Despite being a “rebel” in Lincoln’s vernacular, the Southern reporter becomes a trusted Lincoln confidant. He visits Lincoln routinely at the White House during the four years of the Lincoln’s administration. He travels with Lincoln on board the Lincoln Express to places like Antietam, Gettysburg and Richmond. Unknown to Lincoln, though, the journalist sends detailed reports to the highest level of the Confederate government. President Jefferson Davis, in turn, orders the reporter to form a Confederate cell situated in the heart of Washington. That cell goes by an acronym: bat. The acronym refers to the Booth Action Team. John Wilkes Booth serves as the ringleader. Over 150 years later, the writer receives a dinner invitation from Donald Trump and the First Lady. His latest book has become a must-read at the White House. Unknown to the writer, President Trump has an ulterior motive in mind. He wants to turn the writer into a spy, or an “espionager” in Trump’s vernacular. The mission will win Trump a second term in office. Set against the backdrop of the Civil War, and during the Coronavirus Era, Trump-a-Lincoln-a-Lago takes a wild ride through two vastly different, though strangely similar, centuries. A profound psychological question emerges. Why did Lincoln travel to battlefields shortly after battle? Records show that he went to Antietam and Gettysburg, Petersburg and Richmond. What was he seeking there?
