About this ebook

All I ask is fairness People are constantly attacking my hair I think it's very unfair Obama said he never met his uncle Oscar Can you imagine if I made that statement? It would be the electric chair What if there's another side to Donald Trump? A sensitive, poetic side? Driven by this question, Rob Sears began combing The Donald's words for signs of poetry. What he found was a revelation. By simply taking the President Elect's tweets and transcripts, cutting them up and reordering them, he unearthed a trove of beautiful verse that was just waiting to be discovered. This collection will give readers a glimpse of the Trump's innermost thoughts and feelings, on everything from the nature of truth to what annoys him about Halle Berry ? and will reveal a hitherto hidden Donald, who may surprise both students and critics alike.

Absolutely hilarious without even having to read it. The review section puts a magnifying glass on how narrow-minded people really are and the problem society faces as a result. People who hate Trump instantly give it 1 star and leave irrelevant remarks about how awful he is, and how awful this must be for his name being attached. His supporters, equally idiotic, give it 5 stars and leave irrelevant comments on how great he is. When both sides are too incompetent to even read that this is comedic satire. This is one of those works of art where the brilliance isn't in the piece itself, but in the response the people give it. It truly illustrates how misguided American politics and society in itself really is.

This is an outstanding collection of short poems, each of which is a small compilation of snippets of our President's hateful, self-important, rambling garbage speech. Each and every quote is cited. Each poem is an insightful reorganization of thoughts, typically more meaningful than any of the original quotes or even the context from which they were extracted. I would recommend this to anyone who is not a sensitive right-wing snowflake. As for you, the aforementioned snowflakes, reality hurts, so this will likely just inflame and irritate your delicate egos. Probably best for the misguided and misinformed to stay away, as is evidenced by all of the hateful comments from those who don't understand this simplistic, beautiful, poetic style of comedy.

With every word painted colors of fire red! As I continued to read on... Evidence made it evident that Trump was burning the United States flag and reeling up a Russian one. At the end Trump pulled off his head by his cotton candy hair to present Putin inside. Trump was merely a Russian mascot all along. Wow this read provoked a lot!
