“Haiku of Trump” shows how Trump cheats at business, with women, and for Russia –– so he can keep the reigns (his word) of power. He thinks George Floyd is lucky because employment numbers are up. He thinks he looks like the Lone Ranger when he wears a mask. He thinks he's in love for Kim Jong Un. And, he thinks he should brag when he aces a dementia test.
This is a book of humor and horror –– a must-read, especially for all "losers and haters."
Unintentional haiku are discovered in the public words of the 45th president of the United States from before and during his presidency. The haiku in this collection may not be poetry, but they can be enlightening and entertaining. They reveal the character, personality, and behavior of Donald J. Trump -- as well as his legacy.
"Haiku of Trump: The Chasm, Schism & Isms of Donald J. Trump" captures Trump's denialism, explaining his mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic; authoritarianism, spotlighting his fomenting of racial inequality; charlatanism, revealing his years of corruption; sadism, unveiling his brutality and his enemy list; and narcissism, showing the depth of his pettiness and self-hatred projected onto others.
His words are in the form of 5-7-5-syllable haiku -- hundreds of them, all found in Trump's actual quotes and tweets.
This book is both a best-of and worst-of Trump collection of his views on Barack, Kamala, Ivanka, Megyn, Vladimir and scores of other people. Read haiku about walking down a ramp, playing golf, messing with the Post Office, and justifying conspiracies like birtherism and QAnon.

In the book's afterword, author Bill Doughty explains the inspiration for discovering haiku and compares Donald J. Trump in 2020 to Richard M. Nixon in 1970.
Of all the isms presented in this book, the most important is "optimism." Despite fear, division, and existential challenges, we can come together to build a better future.
