Hey democrats, I really hope you have the spine to fight the war your about to start. We Republicans sat silently while Obama tried to ruin this country for 8 years yet you don't have the decency to respect Trump for 1. See you on the battlefield!

Another hate book written by a liberal Hollywood elite. For a bunch of anti-capitalists, they sure do love to capitalize on Trump's name.

Classic snowflake conservatives. Talk more about Cancel Culture while you sit in this review section for a book you clearly didn't, and clearly can't read.
