Politics isn’t something I’ve ever paid much attention to, but lately I’ve enjoyed more history based books. So I was in the fence about reading this one, but your review made me want to give this book a shot. I’ve never thought about comparing Trump and Lincoln, so I look forward to seeing how this author portrays the two presidents.

This book seems intriguing. A Trump story from a different view and he compares him to Lincoln. The story is quite exciting to know more about them and their similarities. Congratulations on BOTD!

The comparison between the two presidents doesn't seem fair, but I would like to know the perspective that offers scope to compare Mr.Trump with the late president Abraham Lincoln.

Wow! A book juxtaposing Trump and Lincoln's activities. I've always adored them. I am keen to know how the author painted a sketch using Jewish languages as references. Thanks for the nice review. Congrats on the BOTD!

I'm in two minds whether to read this book or not. It does however sounds very intriguing and what draws me more to the 'want to read' part of my mind is to see how the two presidents are quite similar. Thanks for a detailed review and congratulations on BOTD.

An interesting approach to the political history of US. But I am not interested in former US presidents. Others more interested in knowing about the former president from a different perspective will find the book enjoyable. Thanks for the review!!

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting historical fiction in which the author creates a scenario to compare Former President Trump and Former President Lincoln. While it might not be for everyone, it might be worth a second look. Well done.

In Trump_Lincoln_lago, Brian Jocepher narrates his ordeal in the 25day journey of the war land areas in America. His sudden invitation to the white house by president Trump and the First lady brought him great confusion. The process of acceptance to this invitation caused him to examine , and reevaluate his actions in the past with respect to politicians and political positions. His arrival at the dinning table with the president presented an opportunity to separate fact from faux about the president. An interesting story and may be a good fiction book for political aspirants.

This sounds like a historical text, which I may have to skip at the moment. Thank you for the review.

When I began to read the official review, I thought this would be an honest appraisal of the Trump presidency. When I read that the official reviewer referred to Lincoln and Trump as great men, I decided that I might read a small portion of the book, but I think Trump is the worst president in history and he belongs in prison. Trump is a corrupt narcissistic psychopath that has ruined our country and I wonder if we will ever recover. His name should not be mentioned in the same sentence as Lincoln unless the sentence states that Lincoln was incredible while Trump was terrible. Therefore, based on the official review I cannot recommend this book to anyone. A book written by a biased Trumper.

Getting to know Mr Trump from another point of view and how it showed comparisons between Abraham Lincoln and Donald trump is something I find intriguing. I'll never have thought there will be something similar to both of them. Thanks for the review

The author's comparison of Trump to Lincoln makes for an interesting read. He fuses incidents in present-day America to those of the antebellum period to highlight comparisons and draw links between the two presidents. Readers of historical/political literature will find this intriguing. Thanks for the great review.

The book sounds really interesting and I would love to know more about Trump beyond what the news says. Abraham Lincoln is a wonderful man in history and he is legendary
