Of the half dozen or so Trump books I’ve read…Insane Clown President by Matt Taibbi was the best by far.
Originally, the book was intended to be a dark comedy just about the Trump campaign given that no one including Donald Trump thought he could possibly win the presidency. Taibbi followed Trump for the entire campaign up until the morning after the election when we were all stunned to be living in a country with Donald Trump somehow left standing as the president elect.
Truly amazing. The darkest of comedies turned to be the most brutal of reality television shows.
Taibbi said the day after the election there would be multiple rabbit holes each and every day. He obviously knew what he was talking about. So as we near the two year anniversary of Caligula’s second year in the White House…I thought I might start checking in on Matt Taibbi and see what he’s been doing.
I assume he’ll be doing this again in 2020 since House of Cards will by then be a distant memory.
