Rush Puffball: "What on earth does that title mean?"
The critically-acclaimed Fred Armisen hit, Portlandia, satirizes hipster life in Portland, Oregon. I can't tell you how many times I've been told by my Twitter followers that they'd love to see such a show about far-right conservatives. So I thought I'd provide them with just that with Trumplandia.
Bill O'Lielly: "What's with the cover? What, you know, is with it, you know? Tell me about it."
No, I don't really know, but I'll attempt to answer your question anyway. I was initially having more trouble coming up with a title and cover idea for this book than I had in the past. One morning, however, after the title Trumplandia came to mind, I immediately envisioned Grant Wood's "American Gothic" painting and took things from there. Many critics viewed Wood's classic as a parody of rural, small-town life, so in essence, my cover is a parody of a parody. It stars two stereotypical Trump supporters - the man sporting a firearm instead of a pitchfork. Their small home is in the middle of a trailer park, where a sign which reads "No Animals Allowed" is front and center. The vultures flying overhead are there to symbolize the death of the Republican Party - at least what it once was, as well as the fact a wall won't stop illegal immigration, no matter how many or how large the signs are.
Sean Insanity: "What's your favorite color? Wait, that's not for you. It's for the president."
Donald Trump: "Circle"
