Does a poet's heart beat under Donald Trump's brash exterior? This international bestseller rearranges his quotes and tweets into hilarious poetry. It's a new word order and the perfect present idea
What if there's a hidden dimension to Donald Trump; a sensitive, poetic side? Driven by this question, Rob Sears began combing Trump's words for signs of poetry.
What he found was a revelation. By simply taking the poetic POTUS' tweets and transcripts, cutting them up and reordering them, Sears unearthed a trove of beautiful verse that was just waiting to be discovered.
This groundbreaking collection gives readers a glimpse of Trump's innermost thoughts and feelings on everything from the nature of truth, to what he hates about Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi. And it will reveal a hitherto hidden Donald, who may surprise and delight both students and critics alike.
Now with all-new poems! As we lurch deeper into life post-Trump and the impeachment era, this timely publication also includes Sears' scholarly footnotes and introduction, in which he excavates new critical angles and insights into the Poet-in-Chief's work which the casual reader might initially overlook.
Rob Sears (Author)
Rob lives and works in Finsbury Park in London with his cat, dog and wife. His books tend to take an irreverent and fun approach to things that we usually talk about with our Serious Voices, such as monstrous world leaders and the environmental omnicrisis we're living through.
His latest work is The Biggest Footprint, an illustrated book that tells the story of humanity's impact on nature through the character of the mega human, a 3km-tall blue giant made out of every human on earth. It's his first book for kids and adults, and aims to give readers a new perspective on the big data about our species.
Previously Rob wrote a series of hit humour books about world leaders, including The Beautiful Poetry of Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin Life Coach. His political writing has appeared in McSweeney's, The New Statesman, the Guardian and Index on Censorship magazine, and he is the co-creator of Working for the Big Man, a sitcom for Audible starring Kevin Eldon, Felicity Montagu and Mitch Benn.
