The universe, Z claims, has a language and it is speaking. There are no words or letters, but it does have a mystical grammar as it uses actions, objects, and people as its verbs, nouns, and adjectives. Donald Trump is an adjective. As one of Z's students, E spends every third evening at Z's apartment. There, E listens as Z expounds on the language of the universe and what it is saying about Trump while engaging his students in intense, sometimes hostile debates. Outside the apartment, Donald Trump is being mysteriously prepared for his inauguration by what the universe is uttering. Within Z's living room, Trump is simply an example used to teach the universe's language. The universe is saying something, something Z insists he can understand. To Z, melting ice, the iPhone's connection to human ribs, the soul's journey to the moon, sadomasochism, and the influence of dogs on Trump's cabinet are merely cosmic statements requiring translation. Part political commentary, part examination of cult behavior and beliefs, Trump as Adjective: The Grammar of "It Was Meant to Be" is a complex read where seemingly unrelated ideas connect in the most unexpected and unusual ways. As the universe speaks (without caring if anyone listens), Z binds his followers into a cohesive unit-with surprising and potentially fatal consequences.
