I am sure this book would be interesting for the target audience; however, I am not at all interested in books with a predominantly political theme. I will pass this one. Thanks for the review!

This is an automatic pass for me. I'm neither a fan of Trump nor I I enjoy reading books about him, whether it's on a positive or negative light. I don't see his likeness to Lincoln, the former US president who came from humble beginnings in poverty. Overall, I avoid books on politics, especially when they're only related to the USA. Congratulations on the BOTD.

Although it will probably be interesting to other readers, this isn't a book for me since I'm not an American. Congratulations on BOTD!

This book speaks on the juxtapose between Trump and Lincoln. It sure is interesting thing to know and a view of Trump from another angle.

Whether we like him or not, Trump and his presidency will remain a talking point for years to come. Read this book to find out Josepher's unique take on Trump.

This seems like a very thought provoking piece about perhaps America's most polarizing president. It's not a compilation of latent conspiracies, thankfully, as it dissects the character of Trump on an objective scale. Politics isn't even my forte, but the book is nonetheless interesting to check out, so I applaude the author on their BOTD.

I liked that the reviewer made it clear that this is not the real deal but just a faux though either I'll skip the book and leave it to interested readers to read. Congrats though BOTD.

Post by Moddesser Elahi »

This is a faux history - the author has put Donald Trump and Abraham Lincoln together to set a context. He rode on his bicycle through the locations that bear the influence of the American Civil War to collect material for this book. It could be an interesting and informative read. Thank you for the review!

It's really interesting how the author compares Donald Trump to one of America's most popular past President Abraham Lincoln, also one of America's greatest heroes.

I like to read historical books, but unfortunately, I do not care or bother to read about Donald Trump. As this book doesn't match my reading taste, I will not pick it up. Thank you for your detailed review.
