It was 2:00 PM on the east coast of the United States.
The President of the United States was arguing vehemently with the media on Twitter.
"Dear US citizens, our media is a wholesale center for fake news. Please don't believe the fake news, you must trust me. PS: Those who don't retweet this aren't Americans…"
"I'm proud to be American!"
"Believe me! I will make America great again!"
He was just about to send out a few more tweets when he heard the landline on his office desk ring. This was the President's direct line, so it was typically an important matter when calls came in.
The President of the United States unwillingly put away his cellphone and picked up the landline. He lazily answered, "Hello?"
"Mr. President, this is Hillent, are you free? I need half an hour to report to you about a recent cyber attack against our nation!" The person calling was the Major General Hillent of the CIA.
