![]() ![]() Scary and powerful, the reality of Trump politics, I feel uncomfortable even writing about my thoughts about this novel because I really don't know how true or false the narrative is. Reads like a coming of age "incident" for Trump, with a chapter including a visit from his late grandfather, the acceptance of his destiny from real estate tycoon to becoming the 45th president of the United States. But it’s also a really smart one, and you shouldn’t let the page turning quality mislead you - you need to pay attention as you read this!Ī satirical account of ex-President Trump during high school at the New York Military Academy. I don’t want to spoil the fates of the other boys, but in one funny passage a clueless fellow who is briefly feeling so overcome with guilt that he thinks he may vomit, puts his copy of Crime and Punishment under his pillow to prop up his head (arguably the worst possible course of action at that moment and a fantastic image).Īs many people have written here, this is a funny book. The anti-hero Donald loses his copy before he’s read even a page, and of course he feels no guilt at all. ![]() Each boy’s relationship to the book says something important about their feelings toward guilt and confession. Then an incident occurs which leaves a number of the boys reasons to feel guilty. The students at the school are assigned the book at the beginning of the term. ![]() ![]() As a former student of Russian literature, I really enjoyed the author’s use of Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment in this book. ![]()
