Summary:

"Whatever anyone may say about Donald John Trump--and more has been said, most likely, about him than any other person on the planet Earth--a generous majority would probably agree that his presidency has been the most unusual in United States history. This book looks at Trump's use of alternative reality through a screen of Trump's lifetime work"-- Provided by publisher.
