Right now we just don't have enough tests, but we're offering medical testing in dirty parking lots at the same stores with all the toilet paper you bought. The words in this book are tremendous words. The best words. World class. The leader of this book has spoken to his CEO friends... the best people, tremendous people... and they haven't done a thing, which is fine, because the important thing is commending their efforts. We've frozen interest on student loans. You still have to pay tuition even though school is out. After all, money is what this country is about. Nobody knew healthcare could be so complicated. This book knew. This book has written it all down in illustrated cartoon form for posterity.
This adult parody book is a satire of a very specific leadership voice during a very specific national emergency, rendered in the illustrated children's book format that, it turns out, is the exact right container for this particular rhetorical style. The confidence is there. The logic is there. The tremendous funeral homes are mentioned. The big check written on the White House lawn that we can't cash is illustrated. History is documented. The documentation is funny in the way that history is funny when you are safely on the other side of it.
This Book IS For:- Adults who lived through the specific news cycle this book documents and processed it primarily through disbelief and dark humor
- Fans of political satire that quotes directly from the source material and trusts the reader to do the rest of the work
- Anyone who collected screenshots during a particular era of press conferences and would like the illustrated book version
- Gift-givers with a specific recipient in mind and a specific point to make about recent history
- People who believe this particular leadership style was being unfairly characterized when characterized as tremendous
- Readers who find political satire divisive regardless of how accurate the source material being satirized is
- Anyone who has lost the ability to find this era funny because the era has not yet acquired the necessary historical distance
- Tremendous people who are the best in the world and do not find this treatment consistent with their brand
- Political comedy fans who want a physical artifact from the era to keep on a shelf next to the newspaper clippings
- White elephant exchanges among people whose political alignment makes this book universally understood
- Gag gifts for anyone who watched the press conferences and needed somewhere to put the experience other than a Twitter thread
- History buffs who prefer their historical documentation in illustrated satirical cartoon format
History is being written all the time. Most of the documentation is long, dense, and requires considerable commitment to read cover to cover. This book is short, illustrated, and documents a very specific rhetorical style during a very specific national emergency with the accuracy of satire that uses the actual quotes and trusts them to do the satirical work themselves. The tremendous funeral homes are there. The dirty parking lot testing is there. The big check is there. Everything is tremendous. It's all been handled.
Buy it for someone who needs the physical artifact. Buy it for someone whose political book collection has a specific gap only this illustrated parody can fill. Buy it because at this price it is the most efficient way to own a document of a specific moment in leadership history in a format that can be read aloud at a gathering and understood by everyone in the room immediately. The words were always the best words. The book has written them down. Tremendous.
