Reviewed by Pikasho Deka for Readers' Favorite

Written as a satirical memoir, Chump tells the story of the 45th President of the Divided States of America, beginning with his years as a real-estate developer to becoming a controversial figure who irrevocably changed America's political landscape. Ronald John Pump had a complicated relationship with his mother. In 2052, he found his place in one of Geoff Pesos' private islands in space, where he found the time and inclination to write this tell-all memoir. Pump reveals how he borrowed a few hundred million from his father to become a self-made man, wrote the infamous book "The Art of the Steal," overcame his opponents during the political debates, used disinformation and "opposite control" to manipulate the populace for his own ends, met his wives, raised his kids, helped take down a wanted terrorist, and more.

Hilarious and alarming in equal measure, Chump parodies the career of the current president of the United States with a satirical and sci-fi flair. What's interesting about this book is that the character of Ronald John Pump is probably only slightly exaggerated compared to the personality of Donald J. Trump. Some of the dialogue used in this book seems like actual quotes from the mouth of the real-life Donald Trump. The book is not only funny but also sheds light on the ridiculousness and absurdity plaguing American politics over the past decade or so. Apart from the star protagonist, other notable people are also featured, including Pesos, Tusk, Jillary, Lindsay Spam, etc. Some of my favorite stories were Pump trying to explain his strategy on foreign relations involving countries such as North Korea, China, and India. If you're a fan of well-written satire, don't miss this book!
