Donald J. Trumps Imperial Presidency EXPOSED through Rhyme was written to give readers a hysterical and historical account of Trumps time in office.

After recovering from her initial shock over Trumps election in 2016, author Valerie Anderson began setting her opinions to verse as she read and watched news report after news report on Trumps unorthodox style of leadership. Beginning with his first year as president, she recorded his narcissism, callousness, pathological lying, and insatiable drive to become an autocrat at each stage. Many of her poems were published in the online newspapers of the New York Times and Washington Post, and the positive feedback she received from fellow readers encouraged her to publish them all in one complete volume.

Donald J. Trumps Imperial Presidency EXPOSED through Rhyme is the result of her efforts. With topics ranging from the Mueller report, the House impeachment inquiry, the immigration mess, and the building of the wall, Andersons poetic commentary encompasses every failure Americans have read about over the past three-and-a-half years. Anderson organized her chapters around key topics, including All the Presidents Lies, the Cult of Trumpty, Attack-Dog Trump, and Virus Crisis. Illustrations by political cartoonist Arnie Bermudez, a Tucson talent, are placed throughout the book, bringing the topics and rhymes home in hysterical fashion.

By reflecting on and replaying news events through rhyme and illustrations, Anderson offers her readers a satirical, yet profound, reflection on a presidency gone amuck.
