Story
Hasta la Vista, America: Trump’s Farewell Address is an original audiobook written by Kurt Andersen and performed by Alec Baldwin. The duo are the creative team behind 2017’s New York Times best-selling Trump-parody You Can’t Spell America Without Me. In Hasta la Vista, America, we hear Baldwin’s Trump holed up in the White House with only advisor Hope Hicks there to run the recording session. “Trump” endeavors to deliver not only his Farewell Address but also his 2021 State of the Union Address.

Story
The transition from President Donald J. Trump to President Joseph R. Biden Jr. stands as one of the most dangerous periods in American history. But as number one internationally best-selling author Bob Woodward and acclaimed reporter Robert Costa reveal for the first time, it was far more than just a domestic political crisis. Woodward and Costa interviewed more than 200 people at the center of the turmoil, resulting in more than 6,000 pages of transcripts - and a spellbinding and definitive portrait of a nation on the brink.

A razor-sharp thinker offers a new understanding of our post-truth world and explains the American instinct to believe in make-believe, from the Pilgrims to P. T. Barnum to Disneyland to zealots of every stripe...to Donald Trump. In this sweeping, eloquent history of America, Kurt Andersen demonstrates that what's happening in our country today - this strange, post-factual, "fake news" moment we're all living through - is not something entirely new, but rather the ultimate expression of our national character and path.

Story
During the 20th century, America managed to make its economic and social systems both more and more fair and more and more prosperous. A huge, secure, and contented middle class emerged. All boats rose together. But then the New Deal gave way to the Raw Deal. Beginning in the early 1970s, by means of a long war conceived of and executed by a confederacy of big business CEOs, the superrich, and right-wing zealots, the rules and norms that made the American middle class possible were undermined and dismantled.

A stunningly fresh narrative that begins just as Trump’s second year as president is getting underway and ends with the delivery of the Mueller Report, Siege reveals an administration that is perpetually beleaguered by investigations and a president who is increasingly volatile, erratic, and exposed.

Besides despair, the sane response to the insanity in the White House is laughter. On her hit ABC daytime show The View, Joy has been blunt in her condemnation of the comb over-in-chief, and her words have electrified and inspired millions in the resistance for whom #notmypresident has become a rallying cry.

Al Franken, Giant of the Senate is a book about an unlikely campaign that had an even more improbable ending: the closest outcome in history and an unprecedented eight-month recount saga, which is pretty funny in retrospect. It's a book about what happens when the nation's foremost progressive satirist gets a chance to serve in the United States Senate and, defying the low expectations of the pundit class, actually turns out to be good at it.

Publisher's Summary
Political satire as deeper truth: Donald Trump's presidential memoir, as recorded by two world-renowned Trump scholars and experts on greatness generally.
"I have the best words, beautiful words, as everybody has been talking and talking about for a long time. Also? The best sentences and, what do you call them, paragraphs. My previous books were great and sold extremely, unbelievably well - even the ones by dishonest, disgusting so-called journalists. But those writers didn't understand Trump, because, quite frankly, they were major losers. People say if you want it done right you have to do it yourself, even when 'it' is a 'memoir'. So every word of this book was written by me, using a special advanced word processing system during the many, many nights I've been forced to stay alone in the White House - only me, just me, trust me, nobody helped. And it's all 100 percent true, so true - people are already saying it may be the truest book ever published. Enjoy."
Until Donald Trump publishes the ultimate account of his entire four or eight or one and a half years in the White House, the definitive chronicle will be You Can't Spell America Without Me: The Really Tremendous Inside Story of My Fantastic First Year as President Donald J. Trump. Trump was elected because he was the most frank presidential candidate in history, a man eager to tell the unvarnished truth about others' flaws and tout his own amazing excellence. Now he levels his refreshingly compulsive, un-PC candor at his landslide election victory as well as his role as commander in chief and leader of the free world.
There are intimate, powerful, mind-boggling revelations throughout. You are there with him during his private encounters with world leaders, a few of whom he does not insult. You are there at the genius Oval Office strategy sessions with his advisers. You are there in his White House bedroom as he crafts the predawn Twitter pronouncements that rock the world. And, of course, you are there on the golf course as Trump attempts to manage the burdens of his office.
President Trump explains each of the historic decisions that have already made America great again and how he always triumphs over the fake news media. You'll learn what he really thinks of his cabinet members and top aides not related to him, of the first lady and the first daughter and the additional three or four Trump children.
You Can't Spell America Without Me is presented by America's foremost Trump scholar, Kurt Andersen, as well as America's foremost mediocre Trump impersonator, Alec Baldwin.

Wise words "Something, something, something"!
I am not a SNL watcher however decided to buy this book on a whim. Regardless of one's politics in order to enjoy this I think that putting them aside is recommended. There were several chapters that I laughed so hard that my coffee would come shooting out of my nose.
Some of the humor is sarcastic, some is cruel but some is just down right hilarious. Here we have a President who has a a General that he likes, really likes. He calls him General 'Sissy! This POTUS makes agreements with world leaders with a 'pinky swear'! He finds the office of Commander in Chief a little boring so he likes to keep it exciting by writing songs as well as running the country.
This President also defers from alcohol but prefers a snack of bacon and Ovaltine (YUCK!) Whereas his son in law, Jared enjoys carrots and tea. Talking of Jarod, this President has become well versed in all Jewish traditions. One of which is Shaboom which runs for a twenty-four hour period every week starting sundown on Friday night. He calls it Jewish prison! Of course who can forget 'Shamozal, the day of Atonement!
This Commander takes supplements so that he can have those 'special' Superman feelings.
How anyone cannot think that this book is not funny I just do not know! Thought that it was very clever and true escapism. Worth the read.

Pretty Funny. Wished ALL was read by Baldwin
This book was funny. Aleck Baldwin is (to me) so funny as D tRump. but a few chapters in he says "im dying here" and has another reader take over. I can totally understand and don't blame him. Having to read over 5 hours in "that voice" would, i'm sure, be excruciating for the reader. BUT when the other 2 narrators (co-author Kurt Anderson) and later Oliver Wyman read, i don't know ... I was instantly bored and the humor was not the same. ONLY MY OPINION. which means, not much.

Great idea for a short read, not enough for a book
The idea is cute, the narration is good--but there isn't enough here to sustain a full length book. After and hour or two, one can only be depressed and it is hard to go on.

Not worth you money
I love Alec. I've loved everyone of his books. This one was a waste of time. I was disappointed that about 1/2 through the he has someone Kurt narrate the book. I thought it would be funny. Nope, not at all. This book was a bad idea for me and for Alec.

Excellent effort
It must have been difficult for Alec Baldwin to be able to do the voice of Donald Trump for nearly the entirety of this book but he is indeed a master of it.
Kurt Anderson’s narrative truly highlights many of the flaws in #45. Hopefully this is the last we see or hear about Donald Trump going forward

Not narrated by Alec Baldwin entirely
He narrates the first few chapters, then says he is tired and only comes back the last couple of chapters. In the remainder of the book, two men who get progressively worse at Trump voices narrate.

Fantastic narration, educational and grating
I went into this book expecting a 10 hr long SNL bit, but it took itself reasonably seriously and I learned some things along the way that I did not know. I did find it hard to get thru the book given the subject matter but it was very well written and very well narrated.
Thank you
