Okay, so, am I the stupidest and least aware person about social media in America? Am I the only reader and social observer who had no idea of who David Shields is? (He's described as "an internationally best-selling author of 22 books" on his Amazon page. And he's one of the best-looking bald men I've ever seen. Though maybe that's just a good picture.) Anyway...David Shields was not in my knowledge-pool, but I paid $4.95 today to buy and read the eversion of his book, "Nobody Hates Trump More Than Trump: An Intervention".
After reading Shields's book, I am still rather stunned that I was able to survive the barrage of incoming coming at me from Shields's text. Everything from Donald Trump to Fred Trump to Martin Scorsese to Robin Quivers to Donald Trump again to Brian Williams (I couldn't tell if he liked or disliked Brian Williams but he did seem to pop up in the book a lot) to cats to poor people to Martin Amis and back to Donald Trump again. He also touched on a building at the University of Washington where he teaches called "Sieg Hall". (The building's been there for 20 years or so and yet no one has officially commented about the name. I checked the University of Washington website and there it was...Sieg Hall!)
It's clear that David Shields doesn't care for Donald Trump, but his book is sort of an explanation of how and why Trump was elected in 2016 (and might be again in 2020). There are many quotes by Trump and about Trump (sources noted in a "Citations" section at the back of the book) There's just so much other, extraneous "stuff" in the book that I couldn't separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak.
Who was the "intervention" for?
But here's the thing. I'm not a reader of David Shields but he clearly appeals to readers who aren't me. And if you're one of them, then you're probably used to his...uh...writing style. And I suspect that "Nobody Hates Trump More Than Trump" is a pretty good example of it, so if you're already a fan, you'll probably enjoy the book.
