A Shakespearean Tragicomedy Of The Trump Administration

Book Cover for "MacTrump"

If you happen to be craving a humorous antidote to the sound and the fury of American politics, you are, perhaps, ready for the new book, "MacTrump." The book is a satire written in iambic pentameter in the style of Shakespeare that wittily fictionalizes the events of the first two years of the Trump administration.

The two men behind the new project are Ian Doescher andJacopo Della Quercia. Doescher is the New York Times best-selling author of "William Shakespeare’s Star Wars" and the "Pop Shakespeare" series.

Jacopo Della Quercia is the pseudonym for a former Obama staffer who has authored "The Great Abraham Lincoln Pocket Watch Conspiracy" and "License to Quill."
