Full disclosure: I am not a fan of the current President. Secondary disclosure: that is perhaps the understatement of the year…but I was intrigued by the premise of Diarrhea Diaries: Trump’s Tweets That Give Us the Runs, edited by Robert J. Emery, who also writes novels under the name R.J. Eastwood. Mr. Emery is a screenwriter and…what? I’m not quite sure, but he has assembled 480 of DJT’s tweets and presented them as is, complete with misspellings, typos, and EXCESSIVE CAPITALIZATION, just as they first appeared on Twitter.
The topics are as expected, ranging from global warming to impeachment (personal opinion: hooray!), and the book even has headers created using a “newly created and downloadable font” called “Little Hands.” It’s truly a snapshot of the ramblings of a frighteningly deranged individual, and…I admit it, I didn’t read it all. I just couldn’t.
I’m giving it one star for effort and one star because it may introduce some people to the truly scary situation we are dealing with these days. Thanks to Books Go Social and NetGalley for providing this in return for my honest review.
