Trump in Windsorland: The Crown vs. The Clown by Barry Robbins is a very different type of book. It combines video via a QR code or link together with text. He writes about Trump’s recent visit to Windsor Castle in England, where he was hosted by the British Royal family, and compares it to the age-old protocol. He has the President exhibiting behavior we have seen in the media within the confines of historical precedent. The dignitary, as he is first described, eats fried chicken at the banquet, tries to peddle steaks to the diners, steals a painting, and falls off his horse at the fox hunt. His remarks are outlandish with very little regard for the truth. He fails to observe how his actions are not appropriate to the situation, or in fact any state visit. While Trump carries on blissfully unaware of his faux pas, the Windsor corgis have a front row seat, and their comments are hysterical. Parts of the story are also related by various objects, for example, the refrigerator that Trump dances with, the hat he wore, and even the ghosts that roam the corridors in the castle.
From video to remarks made by inanimate objects to the antics of a guest with no sense of history or reality, this book pokes fun in every line on every page. Seldom has there been such a witty, critical, and observational eye on a politician, past or present, than author Barry Robbins’ caricature of Donald Trump’s state visit to Windsor Castle. He had me laughing out loud at the antics, and I particularly liked the points of view from the inanimate objects. This is a seldom-used approach, and the corgis’s perceptiveness was so accurate that it persuaded me that they are more observant than one could ever imagine. This is not the first book I’ve reviewed by this author, and he has not only not lost his touch, but has taken his writing skills to new heights. The videos at the beginning of each chapter are also very funny. Trump in Windsorland is a laugh a second, and once started, it is almost impossible to put down. Barry Robbins is in a class of his own.
