Derek was a simple man who lived with his fiancé Jim peacefully. He didn't stir trouble and he kept to himself. He was almost admirable in that regard.

He was also pretty strong morally. He was open-minded but at the same time, was very stubborn about his own beliefs.

However, this changed. He had a simple day at the store he worked at, cleaning after the customers happily. Derek even hummed a little bit as he did so.

But unbeknownst to him, Derek was hit with the obedience potion as he clocked out of work and headed to his home.

Derek was no longer a free thinker. His every thought about how he felt was eliminated. When he went home and watched the television, all the news channels changed from the regularly scheduled program to a video of President Trump, sitting down in his black office chair.

"Good evening, my fellow Americans," Trump greeted smugly. "Or should I say, my minions."

He continued to speak about plans ideas and the true way to live; Derek couldn't stop listening. He was entranced by the man, believing everything he said. The President seemed so confident and full of knowledge.

Derek's fiancé, Jim, wondered into the living room and sat down next to him. "Hey, honey," Jim smiled. "How was work?"

Derek didn't respond, still staring at the television.

Jim frowned and looked over at the screen, wondering what was taking up his attention. He was shocked when he realized Derek was actually listening to Trump.

"You'd think he'd be too busy for this kind of thing," Jim commented.

"Yeah, isn't he so great?" Derek mused. "Gosh, he's got so much going on and he takes the time to reassure the citizens of their worries. What an honorable man."

Jim was horrified. "Who are you and what have you done to my fiancè?" he stammered, pointing at him fearfully.

Derek turned to look at him, revealing his confused expression. "What do you mean? It's me, Derek!"

"No..." Jim backed away slowly, keeping his eyes on Derek. "Something's up... I have to go figure it out."

He then scuttled out of the living room, leaving Derek to continue listening to the President.
