Review of
Yuge!
30 Years of Doonesbury on Trump, by G. B. Trudeau ISBN
9781449481339
Five out of five stars
While many
people are surprised that Donald Trump was able to run for and capture the
Republican nomination for president of the United States, there were warnings
of the possibility decades ago. Garry Trudeau included the antics of Donald
Trump in his hilarious “Doonesbury” strip starting in the eighties. While the
specific actions are fictional, the general tone, temperament and business
tactics of Trump are accurate.
The events depicted in this strip demonstrate that any
expectation that Donald Trump will change is based on fantasy. Trump lives in
his own world where everything else revolves around Donald Trump and every
action is an attempt to get more attention for Donald Trump.
If it were
restricted to the world of a comic strip, the actions and existence of Trump
would be good for little more than a few laughs. However, now that there is the
very real potential that he could be president, the outlandish nature of his
life and business dealings become serious. If that were not the case, the
contents of this book would be hilarious.
