After the wokecracker prince fights the DemoRats and transforms into his big beautiful human shape by donning a MAGA hat, he rescues little Clara from her radical leftist family and takes her to the Land of Mar-a-Lago. Unlike the Land of Sweets, there are no dances from around the world (except for the Russians) because ICE arrested everybody, and no Waltz of the Flowers because they've been paved over, only the Dance of the Bikini Girls set to the song "YMCA." Clara gets extensive plastic surgery and a boob job and lives happily ever after.
