* Trump Was a Joke offers the best, most-comprehensive guide yet to the power of political satire in shaping public opinion during turbulent political times. This exploration in satire and trump includes a foreword by American documentary filmmaker, author, and left-wing activist Michael Moore.
* Would be recommended reading in for any undergraduate or master's level students studying communications, comedy studies, media studies, political science, rhetoric, and American studies (particularly in the US)
* The closest competitors have studied the connection between satire and politics, but so far none have focused on how political comedy has taken on rising significance as an influencer in public perception and political action during the Trump era. This book is unique in that it offers a wide audience a sharp, witty, yet academically-grounded, inside guide to the role that satire has played in shaping public debate and political action.
