Insane Clown President: Dispatches from the 2016 Circus by Matt Taibbi
4.0
Matt Taibbi's astutely, bleak Insane Clown President: Dispatches from the 2016 Circus is basically an adult, Hunter S. Thompson-esque, horror version of Jon Stone's classic The Monster at the End of this Book starring the Lovable, Furry Old Grover. (Because you know, the monster at the end of Matt's book is His Orange-ness, Trump).
The only short shots of hope Taibbi offers the reader are found in the chapters about Bernie Sanders.
( But all hope in Bernie has evaporated. He could have been our FDR, but nope. We don't deserve him, and I'm done. Too sore a subject).
Insane Clown President may have been published three years ago but it accurately reflects the hopelessness of this American moment with Supreme Court Justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg now passed.& Yes I snapped a pic of the very last sentence in this book because it's perfect. I did to this book what Trump's done to this country. #spoiledit. Pics can be found on my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CFU1_5XjSuL/
