Donald Trump blijkt verdienstelijk dichter

HarperCollins stelde Bard of the Deal. The Poetry of Donald Trump samen uit interviews, speeches en tweets die Trump de afgelopen dertig jaar de wereld in slingerde. 'Since the 1980s, Trump has built his verses like his casinos, using only the highest quality words and phrases, regardless of cost,' aldus de uitgever. 'But until now, Trump’s poetry – delivered spontaneously in moments of enduring clarity – has gone unnoticed (making it the only aspect of Trump to be that way). On a regular basis, The Donald speaks, tweets and hollers his verses – always without the needless restrictions of political correctness and grammar […] because among world-class poets, there don’t be no grammar, there only be truth […] big time!' Volgens HarperCollins is er geen woord veranderd om van Trumps uitspraken poëzie te maken.

Hier alvast een voorproefje van het debuut van deze stiekeme dichter:

The Vicious Ones

I was attacked viciously
By those women,
Of course, it’s very hard for them
To attack me on looks,
Because I’m so good-looking.

But I was attacked very viciously
By those women.

Bard of the Deal bevat in totaal zo'n 200 gedichten.
