The Trumpassic Period – Year One by David Belisle – Reviewed by Guy Portman
The Trumpassic Period is a rehash of President Trump’s first year in office, but with dinosaurs substituting for the controversial leader and his cohorts. T-Rump is joined by a plethora of extinction-inspired characters, who include Mediacircustops, Muellersavus, Kushneratops and Putinodon.
This politics-meets-palaeontology work purports to be a satire, of the lampooning variety. Those hoping to be entertained by its alleged amusing content will be disappointed.
The paradox of this abysmal book is that whilst mercifully short, it is unrelentingly turgid. Although it may not be the case with the retail version, the kindle review copy this reader was furnished with was wretchedly-formatted throughout.
