About this deal

A self-coined malapropism and Freudian slip by the Short-fingered Vulgarian/President-elect as he attempted to conduct sensitive US-Chinese diplomacy with a very-classy, bigly-nuanced tweet.

Using a diary format makes it concise and pithy, with a welcome dollop of humour and some understandable incredulity on occasion. Unprecedented” means something that has never happened before or is without precedent, while “unpresidented” means something that doesn’t have a president or is without a president.He’s one part content manager, one part writing ninja organizer, and two parts leader of top content creators. Fintan O’Toole is the Advising Editor at The New York Review, a columnist for The Irish Times, and the Leonard L. In his account of this torrid time in US and world events, Jon Sopel publishes his private thoughts from his diary, chronicling events as they unfolded. If you ever perceived politics to be boring and not for you, this book is witty, but gives a well-informed analysis of the wider politics. The American crisis could, he evidently still believed, be reduced to this distillate of foreign perfidy.

On the inside jacket cover there is a reference to “Fear and Loathing on the campaign trail” - a nod to the great Gonzo political journalist Hunter S Thompson. They must serve as examples so that others will think long and hard before committing a crime or an act of violence. The word “unprecedented” is an adjective that describes something that has never happened before or is unparalleled in history.As predicted at the outset Trump has never conceded he lost the election and maintains it was stolen from him. The context of the pandemic makes the lies and utter lack of principle deeply shocking and the picture of the USA so bitterly divided – especially over race – is stark. On the other hand, in American English, “unpresidented” is not a recognized word, and it is often considered a misspelling of “unprecedented.

It can be understood only as an outcome of the way, after the abolition of slavery, “dominance” was transferred from the plantations to black rural communities and urban neighborhoods. However, in situations such as the current global pandemic or legal cases, “unprecedented” is a more fitting choice due to its connotation of never-before-seen circumstances. In this fantastical travesty, Trump’s assault on the bodies and the rights of his fellow citizens echoes Churchill’s rallying of a people under assault from Nazis.Reagan presents, to her co-workers, their mission of replacing the president with a robot version of him, named ROBOTUS, that she created.

Trump’s disregard for political norms, campaign gaffes, and “woman, man, camera, TV” just don’t seem as funny anymore. What has come to the surface can be repressed again—but that repression will have to be enforced by methods that will also dismantle democracy. Brockenbrough lays out, neatly and concisely, Trump's story from his grandparents down to the late summer of 2018, when it had to stop so the book could be printed.The word that once described Osama bin Laden and the killers of innocent Americans now extends to citizens protesting the killing of innocent fellow Americans. He takes the reader through the 2020 Presidential election campaign, how Covid was handled, and the rise of “Black Lives Matter”. On June 4 he tweeted a copy of a letter “from respected retired Marine and Super Star lawyer, John Dowd” with the instruction: “Read it! S., the Russian Witch-Hunt”; “the greatest political, criminal, and subversive scandal in USA history”; “Our Country has just suffered through the greatest political crime in its history. From the Trump family’s beginnings in America, all the way up to the middle of 2018, Martha Brockenbrough has painstakingly pieced together a biography that is hard to put down.
