Gilbert came and went in a hurry, securing Donnie's loan and then heading straight out of Atlantic City without even considering Bruce's offer to treat him.
Such haste even made Donnie wonder if the man had taken his loan and simply absconded.
However, Donnie now had little mind to concern himself with Gilbert's affairs.
For today, a great event expected by all had occurred!
After the final election, Harding had become the 29th President of the United States and would officially move into the White House come March of next year.
This news delighted Donnie.
No matter how later generations would rank Harding as one of the worst Presidents in American history, right now, his election was an incredibly celebratory event for Donnie.
After all, all of Donnie's previous actions were deeply branded with Harding's mark, and if someone else had won, Donnie would certainly have faced some backlash.
Donnie was pleased, and the man of the moment, Harding, was even more joyful!
