WOW Review | A deep dive into President Trump’s doublespeak and other rhetorical tricks washingtonpost.com/outlook/a-deep… #DemagogueForPresident

"it deserves a place alongside George Orwell’s “Politics and the English Language” and Harry G. Frankfurt’s “On Bulls---.” It’s a brilliant dissertation on Trump’s patented brand of balderdash. That makes it one of the most important political books of this perilous summer." WOW!

Thank you @Folly_and_Glory, I'm speechless.

is it ok if I tweet out the review every hour?

It wouldn't be terrible if #DoubleSpeak became a thing?

Available at B&N, your favorite local, or here in hard copy, kindle, or audiobook: amazon.com/Demagogue-Pres…

Thank you to everyone who bought the book today! It’s currently the top new release in rhetoric! 🤩

I didn't realize that the review is in the ACTUAL @washingtonpost newspaper! I don't even think I can pick one up in my town, but I got a screenshot.

I can't find a copy to buy in my town and I don't see where you can buy them by the issue?

Does anyone want to mail me their B6 from today?

Friends, it's all sorted! A kind tweeter is going to send me hers.

And folks, not being able to get the actual print paper is a downside of living in small town Texas. Y'all are lucky!
