Donald Drains the Swamp (Donald the Caveman)

Confession. I bought this book hoping to win big in Eric Metaxas’ giveaway. I didn’t win as I’d hoped, but it turns out the book was worth every penny all on its own. Spoiler alert: skip to the last paragraph if you haven’t read it yet.The people of America are in big trouble. There are swamp creatures feeding off the republic, more interested in their own welfare than listening to the people. Donald shows up and digs a trench to divert the water away from the swamp. The swamp creatures are not happy, but the people are ecstatic. They ask Donald to be their king. Donald refuses, suggesting he’d rather be someone who listens to the people, not someone exercising power over them. You mean--like a president?--they ask. By highlighting the power of the people, and the true role of a president, the story restores perspective about the historical ideals of America. Using clever illustrations that suggest certain well-known ‘swamp creatures’, the tongue-in-cheek nature of the book makes its point ‘bigly’. Chuckles abound. The book resonates on many levels, and is appropriate for children, as is any enduring classic.Clever, cute and dead-on, Donald Drains the Swamp illustrates perfectly the stinky money grab of the elitists in Washington and the popular appeal of ‘caveman’ Donald. I highly recommend it. I double-dog dare you to read it even if you don’t agree politically with me.

I barked out loud laughing at the biggest creature from the swamp...very witty as should be expected from one of the most engaging and hysterically funny speakers ever to command a podium. The book is perfect for kids, especially ones with parents exhibiting full blown TDS and/or giving this book 1 star. The Illustration is excellent as well...This book simplifies and distills the truth of what has been happening behind the scenes that MSM have not covered truthfully the last 2 years with their 24/7 fake news assault. (Fake News = biased reporting slanted to portray a subject in the worst possible light) The narrative on Donald has been fake news 24/7 while obfuscating the previous admins utterly corrupt weaponization of the Federal Government against it's (deplorable) citizens and candidates for office.Shock and Awe RED TSUNAMI coming November 2018 - Win BIGLY!

We were sent these for my wife's birthday to read to our kids by her Trump supporting brother. I skimmed through them to see first what the content was like. It disgusted me completely. This is some of the most blatant indoctrination and propaganda material I have every seen. They were immediately disposed of.

On his radio show, Eric Metaxas has described the book as a children's book and an adult humor book. Which is correct? Both. First of all, the book is beautifully illustrated and the publisher did a great job with the printing. The colors are vibrant and the paper is high quality. When you hold the book you feel the quality--this book will last. I believe Eric wrote the book to capture audiences of all ages and he has accomplished that purpose. The writing is subtle and deep enough for adults to stop and think about the point of the book and the characters that he employs in the story line. Yet the illustrations and straightforwardness of the writing will garner the attention of children. This would be a great exercise for kids to see what layers of meaning they can pick up from the book, let alone the lessons children can learn about politics.

This book is a brilliant way to share and discuss with your kids (and older members of the family) what our current president is striving to accomplish. The message is clear and the illustrations are first-class. I'm certain that even young children are hearing harsh words at school concerning President Trump, but I think this book will help them to have confidence and assurance that he is at work to make things better for them and all people.

Eric Metaxes does an outstanding job taking s serious subject and creating a way for all people, adults, teenagers, and children, to understand the complexities of America’s troubles. I highly recommend this book for all people.

This book is now my choice gift to friends. Both adults and children will love its delicious (typical Metaxas) humor. A new classic!

The graphics were impressive but coming from Metaxas I was expecting some profound bits of satire or biting humor. Instead I was disappointed in that the story line was trite and predictable. I would not recommend this. Only perhaps as a 2 year olds child’s bed time read that would only be good for one night.

Great fun.Mataxas has a great sense of humor and a good story telling style. Suitable for tongue-in-cheek adults as well as children. I'm giving it to my 50 year old uncle as a Christmas present.

Great kids book with some adult hidden messages! Absolutely love it!!!
