Written by a scholar of satire and politics, Trump Was a Joke delves into the profound impact of satire in navigating the tumultuous political landscape of recent years. In this insightful and entertaining book, the author explores why satire is an exceptional foil for absurd political times and why it excelled in making sense of the enigmatic figure of Donald Trump. Spanning a wide range of comedic interventions, Trump Was a Joke meticulously analyzes the surprising effectiveness of political satire in keeping us grounded and sane amidst the chaos and confusion of political affairs. Its primary objective is to shed light on the unique power of political satire to inspire critical thinking, foster civic engagement, and promote rational discourse in times of political hubris and hysteria.

With a foreword by award-winning filmmaker, satirist, and activist Michael Moore, Trump Was a Joke is a valuable addition to the shelves of those interested in politics, as well as the fields of communications, comedy studies, media studies, political science, rhetoric, cultural studies, and American studies.
