About this ebook

A coiffed and blustery pig has shoved his way into the White House! A cleverly worded and illustrated picture book, this is the adult parody of the beloved children’s cautionary tale, If You Give a Pig a Pancake.

Watch in dismay as the presidential pig gets into trouble, binges on too much Fox News and fast food, and cavalierly threatens national security. If You Give a Pig the White House both lovingly caricatures the original children's book series and shows just what can happen when a greedy anti-hero tracks his hooves all over America.

Apropos for our time! As are these comments. Half don't realize it wasn't written by an American, so the half spewing their own hatred (though they refuse to see it! One of their most fundamental weaknesses) about leftist propaganda don't even realize that's not what this is. This is an outside examination of the public face Trump gives to the White House. This is how other nations see us. And they're not to blame for that, as the book alludes, that falls purely on the American public. There have been more rally cries in this audience from Trump supporters about "respect" than there have been those taking a truly critical view of what's happened to our country in the last four years. People show respect to others when they deserve it, when they've _earned_ it, not just because that person takes that chair. We need to go back no further than to Obama's amazing eight years in office! Trump supporters were racist, bigoted, hateful, and -- later with Hillary -- misogynistic. None of them were in the streets screaming for fairness or equality or respect then! It's just further proof, and what this book points out, the crazy double standard of Trump and his supporters. It's entirely okay to berate and belittle a man about this "papers" (when where he was born was never any secret), or to call him names, or to have members on the Senate floor literally interrupt a PUBLIC ADDRESS (talk about disrespect) wherein the President Obama was addressing important issues at the time, for meanness and spite. And we had no conservative backlash on that one, now did we? Something else that these "readers" don't seem to get is that this book is a parody for adults. I mean, it literally says so in about a half a dozen places! Just showing you how close these people pay attention to anything. Their internal system for checks and balances goes like this: Hear about something like this book on FOX or OAN. Take the talking points, which are 99.9% lies, and incorporate them into their own world view. In taking these "bastions of credibility" (meaning they have none!) at their word, and in trusting them, they take up arms (pitchforks and torches), and march off with them, spreading misinformation (lies) and discontent (haltered). They do NONE of the work, themselves. They don't vet the information. They don't bother checking into the details. They don't even have a good grasp on what really transpired (again, meaning they have no quantifiable or justified facts). All they know is that someone has raised the battle cry (the Glen Beck's of the world, the Chris Mathers of the world, the Laura Schlesinger's of the world, the Adolf, err, I mean Rudolph Giuliani's of the world). Every single one of these pundits profits off the outrage average citizens like these, but they just don't see it. They refuse to face that inevitability. By these pundits keeping people riled up and on edge, it allows them to peddle books, t-shirts, coffee mugs, public speaking events (where they make their most money), and with building war chests to support their agendas. It's sad, if you really took the time to think about it, everyone would see how many of them have had the wool pulled over their eyes. They've been stumbling around in the darkness, looking for help, but the only help they'll take is from greedy, greedy pigs-- like the one in the White House, like those on the Senate floor, in the billion dollar lobbying groups, and captains of disguising industry, or the social climbers (who sew seeds of apathy into the hearts and minds of their viewers), and would just as soon crawl over them than offer a hand in assistance. This book parody's all of this. And if these "real reviewers" had taken the time to explore the book for real, rather than just follow someone railing against it like the Lemmings they are, they might actually learn a thing or two! The best I can say to this author is that I'm handing out copies to all loved ones this Christmas. Every stocking will be stuffed. ;)

This is brain washing at its very worst. We are talking about a President who was elected because the majority of the people in 82% of all counties in This county voted for him while the 18% of counties that did not are all crowded people in overcrowded cities who are mentally affected by the dangers of overcrowding on political sanity. A President who adopted an agenda designed to help this country overcome the degradation of the previous administrations and has remained faithful to that agenda despite constant attacks like this book, to the benefit of the country. His personality is totally irrelevant, the relevant measure is the actions he had taken to preserve the personal liberty and freedom of the people and roll back the slavery inherent in creeping socialism, and in regaining the strength of the country to stand against the enemies of this country and its Concepts of Freedom and liberty, as well as lifting government burdens on the economy creating jobs and reducing unemployment especially among minorities.

Although it is a Parody, it is spreading false ideas and the resemblance to President Trump is not acceptable to me when the man is currently in office. This is what is wrong with the current society. It is becoming a World of Hate. People if they cared about our Great Nation should work with our Leaders not against them just because of a different political party. Doing what these Politicians are doing is an attempt to destroy our country to make the President look bad by ignoring the good things done by our President.
