Once upon a time, in a strange, savage land, there lived a famous actress. In this absurd country, called the United States of America, nothing was based in reality. This performer was not much different from others in her field, as she was narcissistic and self-absorbed, but her trauma-filled past allowed her to bring something else to the table. This woman was fed by her own instability like a dog is fed by the chicken you left out on the kitchen counter. 

This actress was eventually swept to power by the upside-down nature of this nation's inhabitants. Winning her bid for the presidency, this budding politician quickly got the hang of governing, if "governing" means hallucinating her advisors and putting her own needs above the needs of the very people who elected her. While her deteriorating mental state might have helped her become a star, it's not box office numbers that are on the line... but nuclear codes. Now that she's in the Oval Office rather than a casting office, things a bit more... serious, to say the least.




Intrigue breeds stardom! 

Stardom breeds influence! 

Influence breeds stardom... again! 

And stardom breeds power! 

If you pay attention to politics at all, then you know how all of these are intertwined. With our 24-hour news cycle, politics are about entertainment now. Our votes aren't based on 

policy, but on what we see on TV or on our social media feed. The economy isn't about money like it used to be. Now it's more like the spin of a wheel on a game show. Foreign policy used to be about diplomacy, right? Now, it's the plot of an action movie (and not even a good one). Elections aren't even politics, they're awards shows - and the speeches are worse! 

This book gets all that, but it dives even deeper. While politics may be entertainment, there's still a psychology to it. Sure, it's terrifying to delve into these haunted minds that run our country, there's not denying that what you'll find is hilarious. It's stomach-churningly hilarious, but hilarious, nonetheless. 

If you got this far, then you can at least start this book. If anything, it can at least fill that gap on your bookshelf (or in your list of ebooks). Buy it or steal it from the library today!
