Political books aren't for me but a book where Donald Trump is compared to Abraham Lincoln??
This is a must read for me. I would really love to see what the writer had seen for him to make such a comparison. A great book nonetheless.

Thank you for your review. I'm intrigued! Comparing Trump and Lincoln seems outrageous but perhaps this book, while fiction, will bring some understanding to their decisions. Congratulations on BOTD!

It would be great to read about Donald trump from a new perspective. I'm not very interested in these kind of genres though. Great review by the way.

A history based perspective on Mr. Trump is nicely presented in the book "Trump-a-Lincoln-a-Lago" by Brian Josepher. This book uses a new trajectory to look into works of Trump, which makes it appealing to read.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

I think this book will be quite intriguing to read. Donald trump's character is an interesting and his divisive personality has earned him a lot of comment. Thanks for your honest review.

I have no use for Donald Trump and will not be reading this book. I also do not care for the concept of faux history as described by the author in the first several pages.

I usually don’t have an interest in politics and I am definitely not a fan of Donald Trump, but this book seems to take a unique approach to the subject and I am really looking forward to reading this.

Well, I am glad this is faux fiction. From the review, this is an interesting historical read that compares two former US Presidents. Abraham Lincoln, who fought against slave trade, and Donald Trump, quite complicated. I want to see where this leads, wouldn’t you? Two different men yet history’s brings them forth. Congratulations BOTD.

Comparing Donald Trump to the beloved Abraham Lincoln may seem absurd to some people. But I think it's a brilliant jumping-off point for this very creative book. I enjoyed your review very much!

I'm annoyed that the author is trying to compare Trump to Lincoln. Because I have a very negative opinion of Mr Trump

I'll be skipping this one, as I do not like Donald Trump. I'm also not a fan of historical fiction. Although, this is a well-written review!
