An intriguing book. It is certainly interesting that comparisons can be found between Trump and Lincoln. There are points in common? are the differences greater? one can notice the great previous documentation of the author to generate a sense of realism. Thanks for this captivating review.

This looks like a fascinating book to me. Getting to know President Donald Trump from a different perspective appears to be an exciting prospect. While reading, the parallel between Trump and Lincoln is something to anticipate. Excellent review.

'Official Review: Trump-a-Lincoln-a-Lago' by Brian Josepher is a useful glance at the historical fiction book about an unprecedented visual of the great American landscape for readers. The important points related to the book have brought to the knowledge of keen readers in the review. The point that the author compares Trump to one of America's most popular past presidents, Abraham Lincoln, and creates a context which many readers will be keen to investigate is worth mentioning in the review. Also, the point that the way the author juxtaposes incidents in present-day America to those of the antebellum period is lovable to read, as mentioned in the review, is remarkable for readers. Nice to learn that the angles from which the book plays out popular history are enjoyable to read!

President Trump is one interesting person I just say. And to find a book that takes a look at his life and mirrors it with some history is just superb. I'd sure be reading this soon. Thanks for your review. It increased my interest even more.

Would be a good read for me. But the number of pages is just way too much. I just hope the price is worth it.
