Reviews / Votes
A lot of laughs ... A viciously entertaining demolition of the branding savant with the peach pompadour who was to become the Republican party nominee for the most powerful elected office in the world -- Hari Kunzru * Guardian * If you're a Trumpwatcher, this book will fascinate you * Evening Standard * Scathing, hilarious, cannily prescient ... Singer is excellent on both the absurdity and menace of his subject -- Toby Lichtig * Times Literary Supplement * A classic of the genre * Vice * Hilariously scathing * Observer * Short but sweet ... An amusing but also terrifying portrayal of a narcissist, with only a fleeting grasp of reality, who could soon be the leader of the free world -- Rachel Sylvester * The Times * Trump & Me offers clearer insight into the mind of the presumptive Republican nominee than any of the detailed biographies written over the years ... Very funny ... Singer is excellent at describing the disturbing strangeness of Trump's existence, and the precariousness of his assets -- Stephen Robinson * Telegraph * The best, most insightful, and funniest portrait of Trump -- David Remnick, editor of The New Yorker The measure of Donald Trump.
