The Donald Doctrine: Speak Bigly and Carry a Soft Stick — Grace Jelsnik

Two satires, one comic, the other tragic. In “Making America Groan Again,” the author pokes fun at a coarse, arrogant, foolish man who got lucky, much to the woe of his country. Not since President Nixon has a country been so horribly hoodwinked. In “Thadanal,” a young Jewess hides from the Kickers beneath a bridge while telling her half-Mexican child the tale of Yoosa and its last ruler, Thadanal. With nods to Russell Hoban and George Orwell, the apocalypse has begun. Graphic violence.
