      Christ, it’s worth going back into therapy to complain about Donald Trump alone. I’ve joked that I’m wrestling with a “Trumpression”, that is a low-level depression brought upon by the fact that Donald Trump was elected President, but I’m really not joking. I kind of do think Trumpression is a real thing and the ostensible leader of the free world being an incompetent cross between a Bond villain and a three year old throwing a never-ending temper tantrum is a genuine, bona fide cause for serious concern.

      Most Americans were disappointed and believed that the country had sold out to evil, and this led to a pandemic of Trumpression. For awhile,[sic] many felt helpless and hopeless as they saw what was happening to the country they loved. However, author Chris Lewis argues in this book that it is possible to overcome Trumpression and to actually turn our emotions around into a force for good, a powerful force that will blow across the land and take the country back for the good of humankind. He discusses practical strategies for engaging in the #Resistance and restoring hope to America. At the end of each chapter, he also gives readers the opportunity to add their own thoughts and suggestions. This interactive book will continue to expand as readers enter into conversation with one another in their quest to overcome Trumpression and take America back from the claws of tyranny.
