How to Hate Trump and Other Poems Polemical

Ever since the Republicans have fallen under the doleful spell of Donald Trump, a central plank of the party platform and a crucial component of their leader’s appeal has been hate—a venomous emotion that expresses itself in a variety of destructive and malignant ways. In humorous but seriously intended light verse, David Ewbank explores the possibility of effectively resisting Trump’s hateful influence without becoming, like Trump himself, a confirmed, bitter hater.

How to Hate Trump and Other Poems Polemical by David Ewbank is a humorous collection of Trump-themed prose. I think it’s an entertaining way to write down and process the emotions a lot of us felt during his presidency, including many witty quips that paint Trump as a braggart and his followers, Trumpeters, as autocratic. Don’t mistake though, this is more political stance than pure poetry.

How to Hate Trump and Other Poems Polemical a comical read about hating on our former president and other poems. It is funny and entertaining, and unapologetic just like the former president. Easy to understand and quite enjoyable to fact check. It’s a collection of 3 long and elaborate political “poems”. It is a very quick read that anti-Trump supporters would very much enjoy.

This is an entertaining little volume of political poetry which will most likely resonate particularly well with left leaning Americans. “The Ballad of Bozo and the Bug” is the poem I liked best with its humorous rhyming take on Covid. I recommend this book for fans of political commentary and satirical poetry.

After Donald Trump an, odd spell has fallen upon the republicans. It is a book on how to hate Trump without inadvertently turning into a “Trump” yourself. It’s humorous, filled with hard-hitting facts here and there and a quick and fun read. I certainly recommend it to the average reader.

How to Hate Trump and Other Poems Polemical by author David Ewbank is a fantastic book. Unquestionably, Donald Trump is one of the most questioned and controversial leaders of recent times. His main motivating factor is hate, which he is skilled at expressing in a number of sinister ways.

I must admit that this book exceeded my expectations and I really loved reading it. It contains several humorous moments that the author cleverly uses as a tool to keep the reader engaged. You should read this book because it will make you perceive Donald Trump from a different perspective. I believe the author has done a fantastic job on it. You won’t be disappointed!

This polemic set of poems provides three different poems. The first one focus on Trump.

It mainly writes about his greed, lies, his ethics, cheating, lechery, and treasonous scheming. All this and more are some of the main characteristics of our dear ex-president.

The second and third ones are a fable called “Old Leo” and “The Ballad of Bozo and The Bug”.

I thought the poems would be complicated to read but not at all! I understood almost everything the poems meant to leave as a message or reflection.

Although there are two more poems, the one that caught my attention the most was the first one, the one that is about Trump. There’s really good writing in all three poems and outstanding prose, in my opinion. I would highly recommend them!

How to Hate Trump and Other Poems Polemical by David Ewbank is a genius and tasteful read on Trump’s negative influence. Spread out as three long political poems, they simplify as not turning onto as hateful as Trump in being critical of him. The humorous tone, the factual information all become a distinguished and invincible read. I highly recommend it as it’s comical, entertaining and truthful.

The poems caught my eye due to the wordplay and the witticism. It is indeed the product of greater creativity that while focusing on a particular topic (ths negativity propoagated by a former President) displays amazing word play and imagery.
