Description

It seems Trump was right all along when he said, “I'm very highly educated. I know words. I know the best words!”

Sears is far from the first to notice potential in Trump’s voice: after all, elevating a man who struggles bigly to articulate himself to poetry is inherently funny. “He does speak in very compact, distilled phrases that tell you a lot about who he is, in a small number of words. So it’s not that far away from poetry,” says Sears. “Lots of declarative sentences, a staccato rhythm. There is no complexity to anything he says. People have said he writes like a third grader with a limited vocabulary. I’ve read so many of his words and there really are no exceptions.” Now with seventeen all-new poems! As we lurch deeper into the Trump presidency, this timely publication also includes Sears' scholarly footnotes and introduction, in which he excavates new critical angles and insights into the President's poetry which the casual reader might initially overlook.

Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart.

My first impulse was to write a book only about the cast of characters in the Trump administration and leaving him out entirely, almost as a way of insulting him,” says Lithgow. “Because it is the most amazing rogues gallery. But, you know, after I’d written four or five poems, I realised I’m not really writing about them. I’m writing about Trump.” My initial reaction when I heard about this book: Well, I don’t know a lot about poetry, but that sounds like a bad idea. Russell Brand’s take on reading the comment that “Ian Huntley’s voodoo dolls should be taken away and burnt!” specifically sprang to mind for some reason. the best thing is that this is a game anyone can play. here are some i've compiled myself, from a sampling of trumptweets:This new, satirical book created by Rob Sears composes Donald Trump poems out of real phrases that the president has said: The result is disappointing - perhaps its greatest achievement is just in demonstrating how easy it is to write underwhelming modern poetry. It fails to impress, because it doesn't try - it settles for the easy joke, oh wow, Donald Trump is weird and stupid and evil. Which he is, of course, but if you stop when you hit that mark, you're not making full use of your resources. You can do anything” is a creepy juxtaposition of the Access Hollywood tape, 2005 and Trump’s Proclamation on National Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention in 2017. So, you get the idea. Now with seventeen all-new poems! As we lurch deeper into the Donald Trump presidency, this timely publication also includes Sears’ scholarly footnotes and introduction, in which he excavates new critical angles and insights into the President’s poetry which the casual reader might initially overlook. On the other hand, "Get ready for some excitement" creates a story by finding a weird coincidence (in remarks three years apart) with no deeper significance (underpinned of course by Trump's constant mendacity):
