Political satire as deeper truth: Donald Trump’s presidential memoir, as recorded by two world-renowned Trump scholars, and experts on greatness generally
 
"I have the best words, beautiful words, as everybody has been talking and talking about for a long time. Also? The best sentences and, what do you call them, paragraphs. My previous books were great and sold extremely, unbelievably well--even the ones by dishonest, disgusting so-called journalists. But those writers didn't understand Trump, because quite frankly they were major losers. People say if you want it done right you have to do it yourself, even when 'it' is a 'memoir.' So every word of this book was written by me, using a special advanced word processing system during the many, many nights I've been forced to stay alone in the White House--only me, just me, trust me, nobody helped. And it's all 100% true, so true--people are already saying it may be the truest book ever published. Enjoy."
 
Until Donald Trump publishes the ultimate account of his entire four or eight or one-and-a-half years in the White House, the definitive chronicle will be You Can’t Spell America Without Me: The Really Tremendous Inside Story of My Fantastic First Year As President. Trump was elected because he was the most frank presidential candidate in history, a man eager to tell the unvarnished truth about others’ flaws and tout his own amazing excellence. Now he levels his refreshingly compulsive, un-PC candor at his landslide election victory as well as his role as commander-in-chief and leader of the free world.
 
There are intimate, powerful, mind-boggling revelations on every page. You are there with him during his private encounters with world leaders, a few of whom he does not insult. You are there at the genius Oval Office strategy sessions with his advisers. You are there in his White House bedroom as he crafts the pre-dawn Twitter pronouncements that rock the world. And, of course, you are there on the golf course as Trump attempts to manage the burdens of his office. 
 
President Trump explains each of the historic decisions that have already made America great again, and how he always triumphs over the fake news media. You'll learn what he really thinks of his cabinet members and top aides not related to him, of the First Lady and the First Daughter and the additional three or four Trump children. Included at no extra charge is a lavish and exclusive portfolio of spectacular, historic and intimate color photographs of President Trump in private – inside the White House, inside Mar-a-Lago, at Trump Tower, and more. 

You Can’t Spell America Without Me is presented by America’s foremost Trump scholar Kurt Andersen as well as America's foremost mediocre Trump impersonator, Alec Baldwin.

You Can't Spell America Without Me is the perfect holiday gift!

I enjoy adult whit but this is elementary playground humor. When the first paragraph includes “homo” you know it’s written by the “men” as Freud’s theory describes. Thought it would be humorous because I always liked SNL but I was wrong. Thankfully I purchased at the Dollar for $1. Had planned to pass along but it went in the trash instead. From other reviews it sounds like many enjoyed it though so good luck to future readers. Everyone’s humor is different.

I grew up with satire, these days most people don't understand it, or know what it is, they even get offended by it. The younger generation especially, genY and whatever comes after that one. It was very enjoyable and couldn't put it down.

5.0 out of 5 stars "A Hysterical Autobiography By The Fake Trump"
Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2017
Verified Purchase
This is a fantastic political satire written as how the president speaks to the public. He knows how to win citizens over with false facts. Step through the door of the White House and sit to listen to Trump's words. Believe them? Or, not? This is funny, but is important to think about. Recommend the audio version as the authors themselves narrate the story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not the greatest or funniest book ever written
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2017
Verified Purchase
Absolutely all of the low star ratings submitted up to this point are from people are not verified purchasers which leads me to believe they’re just Trump supporters who can’t stand what’s written in front of their face (no pun intended) when Alec mocks many of the daily things we’re subjected to when it comes to Donald Trump.

Not the greatest or funniest book ever written, hence the deduction of a star from me, but entertaining nonetheless and at certain points in the book spot on. If you know what’s going on with America and are a fan of Alec’s SNL impressions that sometimes have me laughing with tears coming down my face, read this.

All of the negative star ratings that Trump supporters and non-buyers have issued has sank the overall rating of this book and falsely so. It’s a good read for someone seeking comedy and the harsh truth of what we Americans have to deal with until impending impeachment comes.

I couldn’t stop laughing. Better even than anticipated. Funny/sad/funny. Perhaps the Giant Toddler is his own greatest self-parodist, but I daresay that our Mr. Andersen has managed to channel the deepest workings of our Manchurian Pumpkin. [both honorifics coined by the brilliant Ms. Quinn Cummings].

3.0 out of 5 stars Are we sure Donald Trump didn't really write this?
Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2018
Verified Purchase
I'm not a fan of Trump's ideology, and I've enjoyed Alec Baldwin's comedic portrayals of our 45th president on "Saturday Night Live," but I'm finding this book a less hilarious read than I'd expected.
I think that's because the book reads *exactly* as if it were actually written by Donald Trump. There are some laugh-out-loud parts, but much of it is eerily like reading or listening to Donald Trump rant and brag, and I make a practice of avoiding that to the extent humanly possible.
I don't regret buying this book, but it wasn't what I'd expected.
Dave Barry, you owe it to your country to write a book, possibly a biography, on Donald Trump. Actually, you owe it to the universe. In the meantime, I'm going to look for a good psychoanalysis of Trump.

Gave this as a gift to my grandfather. He read the whole thing in like two days and couldn't stop laughing and talking about it. He thought it was great, but says you have to have some knowledge about the current going ons with Trump.

Although this book is a parody (hard to believe when you read it, I know), it was surprisingly insightful, especially the longer Trump remains in office.

This is a funny-ish book. It is clearly quickly written - the final chapters are short and meaningless - I am guessing the writer was under pressure to get the book in in time for the 1 year anniversary of Trump's presidency.
Still funny, though.
