Trump the Poet

Hi guys, over break I was walking around a bookstore (Trident on Newbury St) and came across this real gem. It's a book of incredibly ironic poetry, constructed entirely of things Trump has said or tweeted. I read it for a few minutes and was thoroughly entertained. It reminded me of our is it good/does it sell conversation. I was actually surprised that this book did not seem to have any major accolades, as I think there is definitely a market for it. It seems so sellable that the question of is it good is no longer of any importance. It was "good", in the sense that it was humorous, but definitely not good in a literary sense (considering where the material came from, somehow I'm not too surprised). Honestly, I was impressed that someone came up with the idea. It seems like one of those things that, if given the right publicity or social media exposure, could be something really successful.
Also, this reminded me of our discussion of book covers. I mean, look at this. I saw the picture and then the word "poetry" and was immediately intrigued. Not a combination of topics I was expecting, and it definitely caught my eye. Anyway, it gave me a good laugh, so I thought I would share.
