THE PRETENDSIDENT Hardcover – February 14, 2025

The Pretendsident vividly brings to life an account of one of the most peculiar, disturbing and tumultuous periods of American history, anchored by convicted felon and sexual assaulter Donald Trump, a guy who does things that would make the mentally ill think twice about doing. It begins by detailing Trump’s awful family history and background, and his faulty development, his draft avoidance and education. It branches out into a fully sourced chronicle of Trump’s remarkable and awful rise to political fortune, while still replete with wit and humor throughout. It takes a deep dive into the vortex of chaos, crime and corruption that became the signature of the Trump administration. The Pretendsident is meant to be both educational and entertaining, but in capturing such extreme events, it provokes emotional reactions ranging from inner giggles, to audible chuckles, as well as gasps and moments of stark amazement. The Pretendsident is packed with actual events, mostly unfolding chronologically, interspersed with a few flashbacks, and flash-forwards. The Pretendsident is a reminder of how close a country can come to the brink with one single election. It is a repository of unsettling events, comical moments and a lot of material for introspection. The Pretendsident has captured many of the remarkably strange occurrences that happened in just a few years, and condensed them for review and future awareness. The Pretendsident is a fact-based nonfiction book that pulls no punches, and accounts for every detail it pours fourth. Please enjoy it and look for my upcoming books on this eventual series.
