Publisher's Synopsis
An extremely heavy-handed (why use a fly swatter when a sledge hammer will do?), unsophisticated, sarcastic, unapologetic, exaggerated, left-leaning satirical* view of the most corrupt presidential administration in the history of the United States.The illustrated 3-part series, "Trump Trauma, Trenchant Tales for Troublesome Times," takes the reader on a harshly critical journey through the immoral 'fantasy' World of the Trump Presidency and the moral fable world of Aesop, the ancient storyteller. Selected contents include: "The Sociopath and the Nuclear Codes," "The Fox and the Magician," and "The Thief in the House." Part One, "The Art of the Con," Part Two, "The Pinocchio Syndrome" and Part Three, "The Art of Obstruction," take a unique approach to selected well-known Fables and reinterpret them in the light of current events. A few additional original fictional fables are included, along with selected editorial cartoons from the 1890's 'Gilded Age, ' that connect that eras' political affairs with current events; illuminating provocative and compelling similarities between the two time periods.*noun: satirethe use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics...Webster.
