Synopsis

Summer 2018. Two years into President Donald J. Trump’s first term in office, America has never been greater. The Even Greater Wall along the Mexican border is under construction, paid for by Mexico. Americans have more money in their pockets, thanks to lower taxes and the president’s creative money-raising strategies. Who else would have thought to pay for FEMA’s budget by suing the Catholic Church over property damage caused by acts of God? And while Trump’s detractors may call him a tyrant, the American people love bullies when the victim is Congress: every time they impeach the president, his approval rating skyrockets.Ever conscious of his hugely important historical legacy, The Donald plucks disgraced tabloid reporter Jimmie Bernwood—the man responsible for publishing the infamous Ted Cruz sex tape—from the depths of anonymity to become his official biographer, giving him enviable access to the gold-plated White House and all of its secrets.When Trump’s previous biographer turns up dead, Bernwood must do some real investigative reporting, get to the bottom of a long series of murders—and, if it’s absolutely unavoidable, save the country.

Still chuckling over the concept of Shaffer's newer (and hopefully better) book Hope Never Dies, which reunites Obama and Biden as private detectives. But our library didn't have that yet, so I settled for this totally dumb, silly but also fairly funny substitute. If you've seen the Mike Judge movie......more

Goodreads review by Rosa on July 04, 2016

Admittedly, this will probably have a short shelf life; a year or two after this election year it'll be pretty dated. But Andrew Shaffer delivered some hilarity--of both the stupid and the terrifying kind--in this satire. I especially appreciated the subplot in which Ted Cruz was convicted of being......more

Goodreads review by Alysha on July 21, 2016

I received an arc of this book through a Goodreads giveaway. As soon as I read the synopsis, I knew that I wanted to read this novel. The author's portrayal of Trump is very accurate, which is all the more great when reading since the things Trump said and did in this book were ridiculous. (He kind......more
