Summary
Summary
A New York Times Book Review Editor’s Choice of the Week
Herb Nutterman never intended to become Donald Trump’s White House chief of staff. Herb served the Trump Organization for twenty-seven years, holding jobs in everything from a food and beverage manager at the Trump Magnifica to being the first general manager of the Trump Bloody Run Golf Course. And when his old boss asks “his favorite Jew” to take on the daunting role of chief of staff, Herb, spurred on by loyalty, agrees.
But being the chief of staff is a lot different from being a former hospitality expert. Soon, Herb finds himself deeply involved in Russian intrigue, deflecting rumors about Mike Pence’s high school involvement in a Satanic cult, and leading President Trump’s reelection campaign.
What Nutterman experiences is outrageous, outlandish, and otherwise unbelievable—therefore making it a deadly accurate account of being the chief of staff during the Trump administration. With hilarious jabs at the biggest world leaders and Washington politics overall, Make Russia Great Again is a timely political satire from “one of the funniest writers in the English language” (Tom Wolfe).
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“The Trump satire we’ve been waiting for…Buckley has done the impossible: Made Politics Funny Again.” —Washington Post
“Buckley’s keenly informed, caustically ironic, and cheerfully raunchy comedy is both rollicking and hard-hitting in its outrage.” —Booklist
“Frazier, narrating as incarcerated Chief of Staff Herb Nutterman, manages to root this audiobook in a calm, almost placid, tone…[and] the funny parts land even harder…Frazier especially shines when he embodies the president and the story’s huge cast of ne’er-do-wells. Political junkies will love this audiobook.” —AudioFile
“Buckley is intelligent and ingenious and at times pitch-perfect.” —New York Times Book Review
“Cutting-edge political satire…Buckley’s keenly informed, caustically ironic, and cheerfully raunchy comedy is both rollicking and hard-hitting in its outrage, a bold indictment perfectly targeted for this intensely polarized election year.” —Booklist
“Veteran Washington satirist Buckley skewers the Trump administration in a farce that imagines several all-too-credible political crises ahead of Election Day 2020…Buckley is a smart, entertaining observer.” —Kirkus Reviews
