Trump-Era Memoirs of 2019
Yeah it's a joke, and pretty funny in parts -- a one-paragraph summary for each of six putative books:
Here's the one I liked best, especially the part about Angela Merkel:
Shadow President
By Sean Hannity
Shadow President seems a stretch, but then Hannity has never been a shrinking violet.
The Fox "News" anchor was never officially a member of the Trump administration, but he might as well have been. Everyone at the White House referred to him as "shadow chief of staff." He tells us his phone rang every night, seconds after his show finished airing, with Trump on the line "telling me how amazing I was. On days – and there were many – when I was especially amazing, he'd say, 'Sean, you're incredible! Unbelievable!'" Hannity writes, unaware of – or oblivious to – possible sly presidential double meaning. He takes credit for getting actual chief of staff John F. Kelly sacked, "much as I esteem people in the military." He'll also accept a pat on the back for, among other things, "persuading the President that coal is the answer to America's 21st century energy needs;" record low unemployment, though he'd "like all liberals and other vermin to be permanently unemployed." He advised Trump not to shake Angela Merkel's hand during their Oval Office meeting, on the grounds that she'd had shaken the hands of one million Syrian refugees and "hadn't washed." He also convinced the President that Jamal Khashoggi strangled and dismembered himself at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, as part of a fiendish, elaborate plot "to make Jared look bad."
Great satire.
