Apparently, the author took his tweets, and re-arranged the words to make what they classify as 'poetry'. 
And in case you didn't guess, yes, he's a comedy writer!
Reviews are mixed, with some people, both Trump lovers and Trump haters amazingly enough, saying it's hilarious.

When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows,
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love, in the spring becomes The Rose.

Re: Not enough Whisky for this Tango Foxtrot
I read some of the comments. Some people are Trump 'fans' (*twitch*) and some bought it as a joke. That makes more sense to me. His quotes are not words of wisdom, they are often barely coherent.

I prefer the guy who takes panels from old Marvel comics and replaces text in Red Scull's word bubbles with Trump's tweets, quoted verbatim. It fits terrifyingly well.
If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

"Does anyone ever think about Denethor, the guy driven to madness by staying up late into the night alone in the dark staring at a flickering device he believed revealed unvarnished truth about the outside word, but which in fact showed mostly manipulated media created by a hostile power committed to portraying nothing but bad news framed in the worst possible way in order to sap hope, courage, and the will to go on? Seems like he's someone we should think about." - Dave_LF

Aaand Rick Perry goes on Fox and Friends to say he believes Trump is the Chosen One: 
https://secondnexus.com/news/rick-perry ... hKb9fZCIus
Geez, didn't the U.S. Constitution say there was to be separation of Church and State?
Of course, we all know Trump has NO respect for the constitution. He's shown it many times.

Re: Not enough Whisky for this Tango Foxtrot
Trump certainly has no respect for the State, but to be fair, he also has no respect for the Church, either...

Last I heard, Putin posed shirtless, but it was his own body.

"... the first thing they do is say, ‘Take off your shirt, sir, and show us that gorgeous chest. We’ve never seen a chest quite like it,'” Trump added.

Re: Not enough Whisky for this Tango Foxtrot
Yes, I meant he was attempting to correlate to the fit, shirtless Putin image, not that Putin photoshopped his head onto a fit body. Just another example of Trump idolizing Putin.Frelga wrote:Last I heard, Putin posed shirtless, but it was his own body.

We bought two copies at the visionary arts museum in Baltimore. Totally subversive (the book, but come to think, also the museum), and deliciously clever. Mocks the shit out of him.

Re: Not enough Whisky for this Tango Foxtrot
I caught something on the news where he was at one of his rallies talking about what an amazing chest he has.. I thought.. that's really a weird thing for him to say (and *gag*). What a buffoon.Voronwë the Faithful wrote:And in today's episode of "Not the Onion" …

I'd put Trump's (original) tweet in the 'Fake News' category.

For those who skipped the Avengers movies - that's Thanos. A genocidal madman, on a mission to wipe out half of all life in the universe in order to conserve resources for the survivors. Because he is incapable of understanding basic concepts of economics or science.
Who gets obliterated and turned to dust within a minute of speaking that line.
That's the message they are going with?
PS: literally next shot of Thanos
