A short political satire in which a President Trump nationalizes the Girl Scouts, privatizes the Supreme Court, and sells the state of California—his way of paying off the Federal debt. Nine brief chapters, each one resolving a real national issue with an excess of creativity and zeal. What happens when the zeal is spent?

Duke Wallace writes in that time-honored tradition of political satirists that reaches as far back in American history as the Revolutionary War period. Tom Paine, Ben Franklin, and their contemporaries used creatively-signed epistles to stir sentiment in favor of home rule. Wallace is both a former Marine and a one-time Republican political operative. Besides, he is a lifelong student of American history. If Mr. Wallace considers the value of his fully-attached neck a higher value than fleeting fame, who are we to cast the first stone? Just the sort of fellow to be aware that he’s inside the caldera of a volcano when visiting Yellowstone National Park, Mr. Wallace lives with his wife and dog in a domicile near the Main Street of a small Midwestern town. Rumors that he and the Mrs. share a weekly canasta evening with the Mittys are unfounded.
