Democrats: Be afraid ... VERY afraid!
Republicans: Be joyful.
While the author did NOT have now-President Trump in mind back in 2012 when he wrote the book from which this 20-page mini-book is excerpted, he would bet dollars to doughnuts that Mr. Trump or people advising him DID read it or this excerpt under its previous title, "257 Ways to Fix the USA," since many of his current policy ideas are aligned with the ones set forth here.
If he or any of them actually have read either one, even if only the first page of the Prologue, "Establishment" politicians on both sides should be afraid ... VERY afraid.
To best "get" this little book, just imagine what could happen if Trump does what Gordon Donne did back in 2011.

For policy wonks and political science students, this is an excerpt of some of the policies put in place by Gordon Donne in "The Devlin Deception," after he bought (legally) the United States government and fired Congress, the President and the Supreme Court, and took over all legislative, executive and judicial responsibilities.
"The Devlin Deception" is a work of fiction, with elements of action, espionage, sex and humor, but Donne's serious policies are distilled into this mini-book, with none of that "fluff," as some might call it, included.
"A dictator with total authority, like Donne, should also have the wisdom to exercise that authority sparingly." Agree or disagree? And do his policies follow that dictum? And what other questions or discussion topics might this mini-book raise in the readers' minds?
