1-800-OH-MY-DONALD

1-800-OH-MY-DONALD is a commentary on the politics of our times. It seems that Mr. Donald Trump has stirred the spirit of the nation and forced a long overdue conversation on the inefficiencies of government and bureaucracy and politics. It is not an endorsement of any political figure but more so provides the talking points they are missing. LOL The Donald is sure controversial, but who cares? He has raised the bar. No chapter is more than three pages and each is loaded frowns and smiles. The book is humorous and provocative. "Oh My Donald" OMD: Opinions Of Mass Destruction.... of the status quo....LOL
