Deconstructing Trump: The Trump Phenomenon Through the Lens of Quotation History

Dr. Mardy Grothe

Dr. Mardy Grothe is a lifelong quotation collector and the author of seven previous “word and language” books. A retired psychologist, he is the creator of DMDMQ, the world’s largest online database of metaphorical quotations. “Dr. Mardy,” as he is know to his many fans worldwide, has been described by Fred Shapiro, editor of the Yale Dictionary of Quotations, as “one of the most profound and popular quotation-book authors of all time.” He lives in Southern Pines, North Carolina.

If history’s greatest writers, thinkers, and political leaders were around today, what would they say about Donald Trump? And what would they add about his supporters and their willingness to turn a blind eye to his faults and transgressions? This book will deconstruct the Trump phenomenon through the lens of 1,000 quotation that were all written decades—and, more typically, centuries—before Trump launched his political career.

Any person opposed to the policies of The Trump Presidency—or any person who’s been troubled, upset, embarrassed, bewildered, disgusted, or otherwise bothered by the whole idea of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States of America.

Warm, rich, gold, antique looking is the cover we're after.

The quotes in the book range from 500BC to 1999 so the cover should feel historic with warm colors and traditional or classic fonts, not modern. The title, "Deconstructing Trump" must be placed inside the antique magnifying glass.

Absolutely no images—real or abstract—of Donald Trump
