If you think Trump is a buffoon, you'll probably like this.
A parody of Trump's presidency that's not to far off the mark of truth.
Twenty years ago people wouldn't have thought any of this could be true. Now we know better.
Julius Emp is the President of the United States in 2030. It's his third term and he plans to run again.
Greenland and the USA declare war, although the president says Russia is on the side of the USA, they’re not. Tomorrow the president plans to take over the “ American Canal,” you know- the one in Panama.
In his long-winded speeches, he promises Americans prosperity as the country suffers financial ruins.
The European Union has sanctioned the United States. And most countries in the world are protesting. NATO has warned against annexation of Greenland.
The stock market has collapsed.
President Emp disregards the Congress and the courts.
Every decision Emp makes is wrong, and stupid. But he must stay in power or he will be prosecuted for his crimes.
Sounds familiar hua?
You can probably imagine the rest, if not, turn on a TV!
At 129 pages, this is a quick read. The President is driven, and he drives others. He’s determined to annex Greenland, reclaim the Panama Canal, and make Canada the 51st state of the union. Intimidation seems the only tool in his kit. He doesn’t want any bloodshed, but will he stumble us into World War III?
This is a page turner. It would be funnier if it didn’t seem queasily possible. A fast, engaging read about a dictatorial president driving the USA off the rails due to a mixture of temper, incompetence, and ambition. If you are a MAGA fan, this one may make you mad.
