Anything that upsets Donald Trump is all right by me. This was however a read that at times felt disconnected. You are reading one thing, then someone else gets introduced for no reason. Then the books switches back to another plot line.

There are whole sentences that just make no sense. God damn it I wanted to give this 5 stars but I can’t because it’s occasionally not very well written.

I also found it a little difficult to read, not really knowing the names of these people. Right wing billionaire bigots aren’t really my forte. I genuinely don’t know what most of the references are. The author assumes you just know. This means that you end up reading the book as a none emotional exercise, just to get through it. Considering the scope of the material, that’s a real shame

But oh the passages of Donald Trump speeches. They really are the most bizarre toe curling things I’ve ever had to read. It would be funny if it wasn’t so utterly bleak and disturbing. He’s your old alcoholic uncle that gropes women, thinks he’s an absolute winner. And your parents say, look just smile and let him get on with it.

My favourite bit is the phrase Truculent Trump. I mean, that really sums everything up doesn’t it? It really does.

However, considering how utterly bonkers (and not in a good way) this whole Trump thing is this really was a dull read.
