Trumpty Dumpty: A Parody Is On The Loose, Trump's Invaded Mother Goose; A Chronicle Of Trumpty Times

Product Description

DESCRIPTION OF TRUMPTY DUMPTY Trumpty Dumpty is a unique book of parody rhymes, a cleverly crafted political satire that captures the chaotic journey of Trump & Co. through the campaign and the first year in the White House. Inside these pages, the reader will find Mother Goose characters reimagined as members of the Trumpty cohort that the public has come to know so well - however brief their time on the national stage. "Jack and Jill" emerge as "Vlad and Don." "Little Pence Veep," "Itsy Bitsy Betsy," "Little Jeff Sessions," and many others follow suit, as the contemporary players are substituted for their classic nursery rhyme counterparts. “Sing a song of Mike Pence,/A pocket full of lies,/Contact with the Russians?/ Denies, denies, denies! / When it was discovered/That Flynn had lied to Pence,/Cries to investigate/Began to all make sense!” Throughout the book, dynamic illustrations amplify and enrich the poignancy of the poems and help to capture, with a wit of their own, the essence of the unruly tenure of 45’s presidency. These satirical representations of the outrageous behaviors of the Trump administration – while critical and often stinging – are less an attack and more an exposé. The use of poetry as parody to chronicle the mockery and incomprehensible violations of our democracy will serve as a touchstone for future generations; Trumpty Dumpty will endure as a portrait of how fragile our system of government can be, and how easy it is to take our freedoms for granted…. …From the INTRODUCTION: In my mind, November 8, 2016, has joined the ranks of November 22, 1963, and September 11, 2001, as a singular tragedy of epic proportions. I refer to this as “The Dark American Triad.” The election of Donald Trump as President of the United States was a heart-stopping, life-altering moment, which has become a recurring nightmare. It was an event that has threatened to tear the fabric of this country apart – thread by slender thread - until there is nothing left but a democracy in shreds: The UNTIED States of America. I felt betrayed… Thank God for the monologues of the late-night comedians who took on all of the increasingly incomprehensible political events as they unfolded, dressed them up in the irony that fit best, and presented news to viewers that was (and continues to be) historically accurate and hilarious at the same time. Satire at its best.
