The Sensitive Side of Donald Trump
As we near the end of the Trump administration, I find myself searching for a silver lining. I have finally found it in The Beautiful Poetry of Donald Trump, a groundbreaking poetry anthology.
What if there’s a hidden dimension to Donald Trump—a sensitive, poetic side? Driven by just this question, Rob Sears began combing Trump’s words for signs of poetry. Sears is a creative director at the venerable advertising agency McCann Erickson He has written comedy and fiction for McSweeney’s, and co-wrote wrote a sitcom for Audible He lives in Finsbury Park, London, with his wife.
By simply taking the 45th President of the United States’ tweets and transcripts, cutting them up and reordering them, Sears unearthed a trove of beautiful verse that was just waiting to be discovered.
This profound and engaging collection gives readers a glimpse of Trump’s innermost thoughts and feelings on everything from the nature of truth, to what he hates about the British business magnate, Lord Alan Michael Sugar. This hitherto hidden Donald will surprise and delight both fans and foes alike.
Now in a new edition with fifteen all-new poems, Sears takes us deeper. This timely publication includes Sears’s scholarly footnotes, and an insightful introduction in which Sears excavates new critical angles and insights into the President’s poetry—depths of meaning that the casual reader might initially overlook.
What better way to say goodbye to Trump—the man and the administration—than by delving into his own poetic oeuvre?
