Even better than I was expecting!

After seeing michael on some late night show (I can never keep track of who had which guests) I immediately preordered this book, because it sounded like it could be hilarious. My 14 year old and I read it as soon as it showed up today, and it did not disappoint. It's really well done. Written the rhyming cadence that is very common for children's books, but with all the inside jokes only adults would get, it's an odd combination that could of easily failed, but, no, michael did a great job, it totally works.

Assuming trump isn't successful, this will be the most entertaining election season in my lifetime. Trump is comedy gold.

VERY VERY GOOD BOOK. NOT FAKE NEWS

This book is hilarious. Having children growing up in this very hateful society, it makes sense to add a little humor to the mix. Highly recommend this book to any and all readers!

Worth the buy

I am so so glad I bought this book. Not only is it well made but its hilarious, surprisingly well written, and the illustrations are really well done. Others may hate this book, but its quite a light hearted joke and fun to show others.

I read 'A Child's First Book of Trump' There is ...

I read 'A Child's First Book of Trump'
There is also the Hilary Rodham Clinton book for children 'Some Girls are Born to Lead'.
Our country has been divided into a nation of extremes.
Maybe these children's first propaganda books are meant to put it all into perspective huh?
Start the children out early and they will understand what is really going on.
I can't wait for the Collectors Editions, might be able to sell later for some two dollar bills.

Hilarious - Ignore brainwashed MAGAT reviews

The Good: Very reminiscent of Dr. Seuss books we all grew up with. The witty wordplay and unique art.

The Bad: It’s based on true events which is both heart wrenching and nauseating. Just take a gander at all the snowflake reviews that don’t comprehend political satire unless it’s by their false god humiliating people with disabilities.

The Ugly: The protagonist of this short book and it’s supporters. Like really… the ones who should always be wearing a mask pandemic or not.

The Summary: Learn to take a joke. Laugh at all the horrific years the previous administration infested upon the world and heal. Also the book has sold out everywhere and is nearly impossible to find new so good luck!
