Extended Synopsis

What if there is a hidden dimension to Donald Trump—a sensitive, poetic side? Driven by this question, Rob Sears began combing the 45th President of the United States' public words for signs of poetry. By taking Trump's actual tweets and transcripts, cutting them up, and carefully reordering them, Sears unearthed a trove of surprisingly beautiful verse that was just waiting to be discovered.

This groundbreaking, satirical collection gives readers a humorous glimpse into Trump's innermost thoughts on everything from the nature of truth to his personal grievances. The publication features an interactive introduction and Sears' own scholarly footnotes, providing satirical critical angles and insights into the verse that casual readers might initially overlook, promising to surprise and delight both students and political critics alike.
