Make Russia Great Again

A Novel

De: Christopher Buckley

Narrado por: Gibson Frazier

In “the Trump satire we’ve been waiting for” (The Washington Post), award-winning and best-selling author of Thank You for Smoking delivers a hilarious and whipsmart fake memoir by Herb Nutterman - Donald Trump’s seventh chief of staff - who has written the ultimate tell-all about Trump and Russia.

Herb Nutterman never intended to become Donald Trump’s White House chief of staff. Herb served the Trump Organization for twenty-seven years, holding jobs in everything from a food and beverage manager at the Trump Magnifica to being the first general manager of the Trump Bloody Run Golf Course. And when his old boss asks “his favorite Jew” to take on the daunting role of chief of staff, Herb, spurred on by loyalty agrees.

But being the chief of staff is a lot different from being a former hospitality expert. Soon, Herb finds himself deeply involved in Russian intrigue, deflecting rumors about Mike Pence’s high school involvement in a Satanic cult, and leading President Trump’s reelection campaign.

What Nutterman experiences is outrageous, outlandish, and otherwise unbelievable - therefore making it a deadly accurate account of being the chief of staff during the Trump administration. With hilarious jabs at the biggest world leaders and Washington politics overall, Make Russia Great Again is a timely political satire from “one of the funniest writers in the English language” (Tom Wolfe).

Great Political Satire

If you are exhausted by the current Shenanigans in the White House this book is for you!

Hard to tell fact from fiction

But I guess that’s what makes a good satire. Loved a lot of it. but some was quite a stretch and just maybe that was the factual part. Not my favorite Buckley, but right up there.

The performance and content was outstanding.

The content was hilarious. The delivery and the accents were outstanding. I highly recommend this.

diffusing political angst

Loved it! Like cool rain on a hot day. Hilariously accurate. The names were changed but no one was sparred.

Great, REALLY Great, probably the Greatest

loved it Biggly

Christopher Buckleys writings continue to be funny! I have read Thank You for Smoking, Little Green Men ,and Boomsday. This was my first audio book of his and it really made it come to life!! The narrator killed it on the voices, some of the inflections sounded like Trump himself. The story flew by and I truly had some laugh out loud moments. If you are worried this book it too political, don't be!! As far as politically this was more poking fun at the characters assembled in that administration at that time (plus some fictional ones) I feel that it could be applied to any administration. I voted for 45 and laughed the entire time!! Knowing some of the sentaors or press secretarys during his admin will make the references better but not nessicary!! Highly recommended!

Magnificent political satire

This book is hilarious and creative and witty. It should seem outlandish but sadly it is so plausible.

Antidote to Current Stuff

Christopher Buckley’s brilliant, biting satire is delightful fun. Just what some doctor ordered. Maybe Fauci??

Satire or reality?

When reality is as strange and pathetic as the satire, the latter loses its impact, unless it’s really skillful. This has some fun names and a few good descriptions (e.g., “meth lab Lauren Becall”), but otherwise not really worth the effort.

Hysterical!

How did Christopher accurately predict what is currently occurring. Great satire and sardonically presented by the narrator. I guarantee you will laugh out loud.

Zipkin

There is no better metaphor for the vision of Trump and family for America. God save Zipkin
