great back story and artwork. plus a great resource to find more cthulhu media and books. ( )

One of a series of Trump bashing books which have proliferated since his election to the presidency. And in the series of many more to come for many years.

The book covers from a basically chronological approach Donald Trumps' association with Palm Beach and his acquisition and legacy with the property and his endless battles with the powers that be who run the quasi-island nation of Palm Beach. Of course Mr. Trump feels he is that rightful King of the territory and certainly of Mar-a-Lago he is. But a remaining segment of residents battle him as best they can with their own considerable resources.

It does not take long to see where author Laurence Leamer lines up as a part-time resident of the island nation. From start to finish Mr. Leamer lays out each and every transgression of Donald Trump, much of which most of us are familiar with, and some maybe not.

Yes we know Trump is a bombastic, self-centered, egotistical, raving, twittering, maniacal, and on and on. And the major point of the book is to remind us again and again of this certainty. Not to mention every other dastardly thing under the sun.

Yet the fact remains, despite all these things about him he still got elected president. So what does that say about how people felt about Hillary Clinton? And if the economy holds its momentum he probably has a fair shot to be re-elected.

I live next door to the Mar-a-Lago estate. No not that close. In decidedly downscale West Palm Beach across the bridge. I can certainly attest to Leamer's descriptions of the contrasts in living styles presented here. The super wealthy hold their many balls and fundraisers doing their part for the community and would rather you stay on your side of the intercoastal thank you.

There is maybe no better display of these contrasts then Trump International Golf Course which sits in West Palm Beach completely enclosed by very high hedges and palm trees. Across the street is the public library for the common folk and setting back aways towering above the course is the county jail.

I did find one apparent mistake in the book when Leamer was describing The Breakers Hotel location he stated it as south of Mar-a-Lago. It is in fact north of it.

In total if you are the type that loves Trump bashing this will be a great read for you. He certainly delivers the goods on that. Donald Trump is a party of one, the ultimate P.T. Barnum of both politics and business, and de facto King of Mar-a-Lago. ( )
