This book shows the proper medium for a Donald Trump biography: Cartoon! --Bruce Handy, Vanity Fair Just in time for the Republican convention, cartoonist Rall follows his recent graphic bios of Sen. Bernie Sanders and CIA whistleblower Edward Snowden with a comic book peek into the life and times of America's favorite short-fingered vulgarian. Given that Rall once called on Barack Obama to resign, saying the 44th president made 'Bill Clinton look like a paragon of integrity and follow-through, ' it's a safe bet that Trump won't be flogging this one on his campaign website --The Millions
