Most of these poems focus on specific people within Trump‘s sphere while in office. A couple focus more on events that highlight his poor behavior. What really struck me as I read these was how many of the scandals, lies, and scams, I had forgotten about.
John Lithgow‘s thoughts on Mike Pence. True even after a coup attempt.
I have less than 90 minutes left in Dark Money! Bernie and Liz are cheering me on. I‘m thinking these poetry books my husband bought may be the cleansing I need once I do finish. #TBR
Very piercing, scathing satire alongside amazingly accurate portraits of the Trump administration. John Lithgow is a genius and a legend.
The short poem about Mike Pence was my favorite one, and I love that Lithgow did his own illustrations!
This is a cute collection of poetic political satire. If you‘re a Trump fan, you‘re going to hate it so just leave it on the shelf. If you have a sense of humour (especially after the 2020 election), this just might be the poetry collection for you. Looking forward to Volume 2 (especially now that the insanity of the last four years is almost over). I can‘t wait for the poem about Trump being the sorest loser of all.

The drawings are just as delightful as the poems. This is meant to be Sean Hannity.

These are a few of Dumpty‘s favourite lies!!!
(Sadly, this poem was too long to post, but you can happily sing it to the tune of “My Favourite Things.”

I think this is easier to read now that he‘s on his way out.

John Lithgow brings me joy. #dumpty #johnlithgow
John Lithgow is clever and witty in his construction of poems about Trump and his cronies. It‘s funny but also depressing, given that it‘s all true. He provides a brief description of the subject of each poem at its end, so you don‘t have to be a political junkie to get it all. I missed out on the illustrations with the audio, but Lithgow‘s performance of this is stellar.
Easy, breezy 1 day read. Lithgow is such a clever wordsmith and sharp satirist.
Funny stuff... sharp satire ... and some new vocabulary!
You know this is going to be funny because it's written by John Lithgow. 😃

Lithgow is an American treasure — we all know who definitely is not (I could have done without all of the sound effects on the audiobook, however 😂🤷🏻♀️).
I saw this on Colbert, but I had no idea he was such a lovely poet. I think this has to get moved up the old TBR/Wishlist. 🤣😂🤣 Some of the other poems I saw in the sample were better, but this one fit the easiest into a square. lol
When my husband asked me to look for a book for him, I was very excited that my library had it in. My husband is not a reader, so I‘m happy to have gotten this in his hands while he‘s still interested!
I won‘t be reading it, as I don‘t keep up with politics. The drawings are a riot though, and I think it‘s very cool that John Lithgow wrote and illustrated this!
Highly recommend listening to the audiobook, performed by John Lithgow himself.
