    About this ebook

    Trumped Up Election documents the dystopian world of compromised US politics, devaluation of civility, and destruction of cultural norms during the 2016 presidential election. Bearing witness to the rise of misogyny, racism, corruption and homophobia, this collection of poetry explores the progressive dismantling of democratic process, abandonment of ethical behavior, and a country in accelerating free-fall toward fascism.

      What Comes Next With President Trump

      Nov 12, 2016

      IT TURNS OUT THAT DONALD TRUMP WAS QUALIFIED to be President, after all. He was credentialed by the American people on Election Day. I’m still not sure he’s fit for the job, and I’m certain he’s not prepared for it, and his demeanor remains profoundl
