An Incisive and Witty Roadmap into Donald Trump's Disinformation, Malice, Betrayals and Emolumental Greed--Just in Time for 2020 Donald Trump has said over twelve thousand lies and falsehoods since taking office, and it's bound to get worse as the November election approaches. Since it's nearly impossible to keep track of them all, two of America's foremost public advocates do that work for you so you can become your own Trump Bullshit Detector throughout this crucial year. This is your one-stop shop that explains and contextualizes what the Lyin' King means to our democracy and world. It's a cheeky, entertaining, and deadly rebuke of Trump's incorrigible "fakery." From his dishonesty about foreign policy ("North Korea has agreed to denuclearization") to blatant ignorance about the environment ("The noise [from windmills] cause cancer") to his inane narcissism ("I'm a very stable genius"), Mark Green and Ralph Nader comb through thousands of speeches, sound bites, tweets, and articles to assemble the best of the worst Trump "twistifications." This Jeffersonian coinage best captures his daily attempts to create an alternate reality--that is, gaslighting to millions of credulous and enthralled followers. The book concludes with Nader's epilogue that explains how to talk to betrayed Trump voters or true fence-sitters as the November 2020 election approaches.…

"Terrific new book. Fake President informs as it entertains."
--Laurence Tribe
An incisive, witty roadmap into the disinformation and betrayals of President Trump—just in time for the impeachment hearings and the 2020 election.
Donald Trump was lawfully selected as the US president...but is still a "fake" president because he simply lacks the integrity, intelligence, and stability to perform the duties of the office as the Constitution intended. "If you spend so much time golfing, tweeting, and seething," write Green and Nader, "it's understandable that a POTUS doesn't get around to appointing one-third of all agency inspector generals...Might as well expect a surgeon to be an opera singer."
As the House Impeachment Inquiry unfolds based on a similar premise, Fake President decodes many of his worst scandals and "twistifications" (a Jefferson coinage). And it’s bound to get even worse as the House gets closer to actual Articles of Impeachment and the Fall election approaches. Since it's nearly impossible to keep track of Trump's "daily lava of lies," two of America’s foremost public advocates do that work for you. This is your one-stop shop that explains what the Lyin' King means to our democracy.
It’s a cheeky, deadly rebuke of Trump’s incorrigible "fakery"...from his dishonesty about foreign policy to blatant ignorance about the environment to his messianic narcissism.
Fake President is an essential guide to help you understand the two biggest news stories of the coming year—impeachment and the 2020 presidential election.
