Description: "On his last day in office, the author's fictional effigy of the 43rd president addresses an adoring throng of cronies, henchmen and monied interests as he waits to be choppered out into history. His farewell speech, rendered here in an inspired pastiche of Khalil Gibran's The Prophet, is a celebration of heedless militarism, arrogant wealth, callow pleasure-seeking and smug entitlement, all expressed in a hilarious pseudo-scriptural mishmash of poetic aphorism and good-ole-boy swagger"--Kirkus Reviews.
