June, 2017. Comprised of hundreds of actual Trump tweets, the staff of The Daily Show opened The Donald J.

After reading too many books about Trump that have been giving me nightmares, I finally found one that let me laugh while also reminding me just who we elected to the White House. My favorite selection was the editor's comment on a tweet from the President concerning Mexico paying for the wall - "Of course Mexico will pay for the wall. The president has a comprehensive plan to confiscate all abandoned climbing and digging equipment used by Mexicans after they've gotten past the wall, and then sell those items on eBay to other Mexicans. We're actually billing them twice." The book is filled with these gems. I absolutely loved it and thank the authors for saving my New Year's with this tribute to Trump's tweets. It was so much fun to read!
This has such an amusing premise but the book was mostly excruciating to read.

The part I found funniest was “non 11” which is the crisis of the 11 minutes his Twitter was off and he couldn’t tweet.

Some of the writing from the team is smart and/or funny.

But so much of the book is Trump’s tweets. I kind of had to skim.

I was more depressed, infuriated, frightened, stunned, than amused. Yes, some are so bad they’re funny, one at a time. A whole bunch all at once, not so much. Boring too, for me.

For me it was at best okay. 5 stars for the premise. 4 and 3 stars for some of the writing. But 1 star for having to focus so much on bizarre, moronic, spiteful, dull, and peculiar tweets. If they were from someone not in a position of show more power I might have been more entertained. I’m too horrified to enjoy this. When I compare it to other books I have recently read it seems like a waste of time. 2 stars is generous but I did get a few chuckles out of it. show less
A MASTERPIECE. Brilliant concept and presentation. The pseudo-intellectual art history analysis and discussion of so much surreal inanity… 無語
Reading over these tweets gave me anxiety. I can't get over that America voted this person into office when he acts and says the things he does. That being said, I'll support Trevor Noah for President!
This is a satirical and tongue-in-cheek view of Donald Trump's tweets, especially through his campaign of 2016 and the first year of his Presidency in 2017.

It's...interesting? to see all of these tweets together. Difficult book to rate.
