About this deal

You can do anything” is a creepy juxtaposition of the Access Hollywood tape, 2005 and Trump’s Proclamation on National Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention in 2017. So, you get the idea. Now with seventeen all-new poems! As we lurch deeper into the Trump presidency, this timely publication also includes Sears' scholarly footnotes and introduction, in which he excavates new critical angles and insights into the President's poetry which the casual reader might initially overlook. Whether discoursing on politics, walls, gender issues, or his own excellent genes, Donald Trump’s poems are nothing if not beautiful. Terrific, in fact. Amazing.” Lithgow pauses, and points me towards a quote by Peter Cook, who once said that he modelled his satirical 1960s club The Establishment on “those wonderful Berlin cabarets that did so much to stop the rise of Hitler”. i was dreading this prompt, not only because i have trouble focusing on narrative audio in general, but also because the prospect of listening to a series of poems read aloud in full performative inflection made my soul itch.

Colbert and Seth Meyers and Samantha Bee and Noah are all incredible, and yet they are not changing the course of human events,” he goes on. “Trump is. It’s the satirist’s dilemma, I guess. Are you only solidifying people’s opinions rather than changing them? Because God knows, the reaction to satire by people who are politically opposed to the satirist is just more entrenched than ever. They are enraged by satire. And I think it’s an interesting truism that fascists hate satire. They are incredibly paranoid about being laughed at.” Folks, this book is great. These poems are fantastic. That I can tell you. And I am really smart. Believe me, I know words. I know the best words. Everyone agrees. That's a true fact. That said, there are some good poems here, and very tellingly most of the best poems are ones where the author has actually tried to accomplish something, rather than juxtaposed two random sentences out of context. Now, look at Goodreads. Smart people. Smart people who like books. Maybe books not written about Trump. But that's pushing it, folks. Because these poems are enough. Every line annotated for the source material tweet, speech or interview. Sears is working with more stringent requirements than Dr. Seuss did when he wrote Green Eggs and Ham using only 50 words.Even though the money would go to charity I couldn't buy it, not even to destroy, it would have left me polluted. This is, basically, cheating - you could take literally any public figure and do exactly the same thing with their public statements.

This groundbreaking collection of (strictly unauthorised) poems gives readers a glimpse of Donald Trump’s innermost thoughts and feelings on everything from the nature of truth, to what he hates about Lord Sugar. And it will reveal a hitherto hidden Donald, who may surprise and delight both students and critics alike.

When will my order arrive?

I'm the world's greatest writer of 140 character sentences". "Mark my words". Bob Sears had this great idea of putting them together and the result is this GREAT compilation, " despite the constant negative press covfefe".

The author also provides a sensitive analysis of Trump's work in the foreword, making it a brilliant satire, only rarely letting the open critique shine through.But Trump is the central figure here, presented as Dumpty, a lumbering, slow-witted oaf who trudges through the book, intermittently stopping to wreak further unthinking damage on a world that deserved better. However, this wasn’t always the plan. In this unique hardcover book, Rob Sears presents a hilarious collection of poems, sonnets, and haikus, created by rearranging Donald Trump’s tweets and public statements. Description This groundbreaking collection gives readers a glimpse of Trump's innermost thoughts and feelings on everything from the nature of truth, to what he hates about Lord Sugar. And it will reveal a hitherto hidden Donald, who may surprise and delight both students and critics alike.
