The novel sounds intriguing with the comparison between Lincoln and Trump. I appreciate the author’s tremendous research and time to connect the past, present, and future. The author’s perspective is interesting, and I agree with the reviewer regarding the fantastic concept of using Jewish texts and language. Although I would like to see how the author talks about Lincoln, I am not a fan of Trump, so that I will skip this novel. Thank you for an informative review.

Seeing Donald Trump from a different perspective is very intriguing. I am not a fan of political books but persons who like reading about the presidents will find this interesting. Congratulations on BOTD.

Since it's a book that talks about formal president Trump. It will make me get to know Trump from another perspective. Lovers of historical fiction will find it interesting. Thanks for the review.

It must be a great historical book for all Americans and those who love America. One should be able to relate with one's history. This book offers insightful ideas regarding such knowledge. A great review, excellently done.

This book compares Trump to one of America's most popular past presidents, Abraham Lincoln. The author uses the civil war as a reference point for President Lincoln and President Trump to analyze the minds of these men and find links between them and the decisions they took. This is an interesting book and a good book review. Congratulations on the BOTD!

Comparing Donald Trump to Abraham Lincoln seems laughable to me. Since I'm not a Trump fan, I will be skipping this book. But congratulations to the author for being chosen as BOTD.

I'm glad to know that an author wrote a different trajectory about Donald Trump and his lifestyle as American president. Though I personally do not feel comfortable putting him on the same rank as the great Abraham Lincoln. Congrats on being the #BOTD!

Would love to read this book mostly because I have always found Donald Trump to be an interesting character. I do not know much about President Lincoln though, but would like to see the similarity between the two.

This book presents the comparison of Donald Trump and Abraham Lincoln. I think the controversial personality of both men is considered. Thanks for the review.

I love historical fiction but I don't care for political books. I am in between on reading this one! If people would take a close look at the way things were progressing during Trump's presidency and the way things are now they might have a better understanding when they read this book! Thanks for the great review!

In this book, the author takes an entirely different trajectory to analyze Mr. Trump. He compares Trump to one of America's most popular past presidents, Abraham Lincoln. The author creates a context which many readers will be keen to investigate.
The review is superb.
Congratulations on Botd 🎉
