America 1919
Chapter 576: 207, A single stone can raise a thousand ripples.
Harry D'Agostino's suggestion was not without direction, although somewhat impulsive when he brought it up, he immediately felt that his proposal was quite excellent after saying it.
"Donnie, if you want, I can continue to be your campaign manager. Trust me, with your financial resources, influence, understanding of the public psyche, plus my experience, as long as you enter politics, I believe that by the time you're 40, you can definitely become the President of the United States!"
The more Harry D'Agostino spoke, the more he believed there was nothing wrong with his suggestion.
This article alone could make Donnie the spiritual leader in the hearts of the common Americans, a status that every political figure in the United States dreams of.
Donnie, while somewhat surprised by Harry D'Agostino's suggestion, wasn't very shocked!
Ever since the concept of the American Dream was proposed, it has become a sharp tool for many American politicians. Several Presidents of the United States have mentioned the American Dream during their campaign speeches, incorporating their own interpretations of it and then presenting it to the American public.
However, Donnie had no intention of entering politics. Becoming the President of the United States was not an easy task, even though he was supported by even more American consortia, but after all, this was the most powerful position in the world nominally.
His lack of education and sufficient political resources would make it exceedingly difficult to overtake in this race, even if he gave up everything in business right now.
"Harry, do you really think the American public would elect someone who never went to college as their President?
Or do you think, Wall Street and the consortia could accept me as the President of the United States?"
Donnie spoke very frankly to Harry D'Agostino.
"I believe that if you want, these problems can always be solved!" Harry D'Agostino didn't want to give up the idea.
Donnie shook his head and said, "It's too difficult to accomplish this, and it also doesn't align with my life's pursuit. The President might seem to have a high position and great power, but I believe that if I can fulfill my business dreams, I can still become a person of social influence!"
Faced with Donnie's refusal, Harry D'Agostino couldn't understand and repeatedly tried to persuade him, but was declined by Donnie. Finally, seeing that Donnie really had no interest in this idea, he could only feel helpless!
.
Donnie's "An American's American Dream" could be described as stirring up a thousand waves with one stone in the United States, and not just in Atlantic City.
In Washington, too, many people took note of this article as soon as it was published.
Coshek Kevin, having never met Donnie but already considering him his most important rival at this stage, and seeing many contents of the article targeting him, naturally took notice of it immediately.
At this moment, Coshek Kevin's office was in disarray, his many collected artifacts shattered by his own hands!
"This man is a madman, a madman, he's going to destroy me! Does he not know the consequences of his actions?"
Coshek Kevin couldn't understand Donnie's behavior. The covert struggle between the White House and Congress had already escalated to a fever pitch. In Coshek Kevin's view, at this time, Donnie should be staying quietly in Atlantic City, waiting for their negotiation results. Whether the outcome was good or bad for him, Donnie Block should accept it demurely.
Now, instead of doing as expected, Donnie Block had used his media power to show his manifesto to the entire American public!
Yes!
For Coshek Kevin, this article was a denunciation against him, against IRS!
Such actions deserved condemnation!
Michael Ribeiro sat on the sofa in Coshek Kevin's office, watching the enraged Coshek Kevin with disdain. He didn't have a high regard for someone like Coshek Kevin, whose life appeared very rich but who lacked mental fortitude. Could such a person really lead IRS to glory in the future?
He didn't think so!
"Kevin, being angry about this now won't solve any problems. What's most important is how to eliminate the negative impact this has had on you and the IRS!"
Michael Ribeiro was here not to solve this problem for Coshek Kevin; he was here for IRS!
Sitting in his chair, Coshek Kevin, panting for breath, asked: "Then what should we do?"
At that moment, he really had no idea.
Michael Ribeiro spoke calmly: "Even if this article has a tremendous impact, it is still just an article with a limited effect over time; people's memories are short.
We cannot react to this article in any way, because any reaction is simply a continuous reminder to the American public, making them remember this issue.
If we want to diminish its impact in the shortest time possible, we need a bigger event to distract everyone's attention."
I don't know how the negotiations between Congress and the White House are going, but I think, the publication of Donnie's article must also not be in line with the expectations of the White House for this matter.
