The unquotable Trump
\"Sikoryak is famous for taking classic comics and mashing them with famous literature ... Now in these uncertain times, [he] draws upon the power of comics and satire to frame President Trump and his controversial declarations as the words and actions of the most notable villains and antagonists in comic book history. Reimagining the most famous comic covers, Sikoryak transforms Wonder Woman into Nasty Woman; Tubby Tompkins into Trump; Black Panther into the Black Voter; the Fantastic Four into the Hombres Fantâasticos, and Trump into Magneto fighting the Ex-Men\"-- Provided by publisher.

BOOK
Trump Studies
Why do citizens vote against their own best interest?
Trump Studies addresses this key question; probing the value of thinking, reading, writing and interpretation during times of economic, social and political uncertainty. With a compelling voice and academic rigour, the authors explore how and why xenophobia and sexism are the grammar of contemporary popular culture and politics.
The Brexit result and the Trump victory cannot be studied in a laboratory; the silent majority will not sit in a petri dish, waiting to be researched. The theories and methodologies developed into this book not only explain these two mega and meta events, they create space for ideas that challenge and dissent, and make the case for the role and value of universities in a time when evidence, expertise and facts often dissolve into opinion, emotion and fake news.
Donald Trump does not matter. Trump Studies does matter - and this is a siren call to all intellectuals to intervene and transform the currency of theory in empiricist times.

American Grand Strategy in the Age of Trump
Looking beyond the headlines to address the enduring grand strategic questions facing the United States today
American foreign policy is in a state of upheaval. The rise of Donald Trump and his \"America First\" platform have created more uncertainty about America's role in the world than at any time in recent decades. From the South China Sea, to the Middle East, to the Baltics and Eastern Europe, the geopolitical challenges to U.S. power and influence seem increasingly severe-and America's responses to those challenges seem increasingly unsure. Questions that once had widely accepted answers are now up for debate. What role should the United States play in the world? Can, and should, America continue to pursue an engaged an assertive strategy in global affairs?
In this book, a leading scholar of grand strategy helps to make sense of the headlines and the upheaval by providing sharp yet nuanced assessments of the most critical issues in American grand strategy today. Hal Brands asks, and answers, such questions as: Has America really blundered aimlessly in the world since the end of the Cold War, or has its grand strategy actually been mostly sensible and effective? Is America in terminal decline, or can it maintain its edge in a harsher and more competitive environment? Did the Obama administration pursue a policy of disastrous retrenchment, or did it execute a shrewd grand strategy focused on maximizing U.S. power for the long term? Does Donald Trump's presidency mean that American internationalism is dead? What type of grand strategy might America pursue in the age of Trump and after? What would happen if the United States radically pulled back from the world, as many leading academics-and, at certain moments, the current president-have advocated? How much military power does America need in the current international environment?
Grappling with these kinds of issues is essential to understanding the state of America's foreign relations today and what path the country might take in the years ahead. At a time when American grand strategy often seems consumed by crisis, this collection of essays provides an invaluable guide to thinking about both the recent past and the future of America's role in the world.

Resistance and Abolition in the Borderlands
While there is a long history of state violence toward immigrants
in the United States, the essayists in this interdisciplinary
collection tackle head-on the impacts of the Trump administration.
This volume provides a well-argued look at the Trump era.
Insightful contributions delve into the impact of Donald Trump's
rhetoric and policies on migrants detained and returned, immigrant
children separated from their parents and placed in detention
centers, and migrant women subjected to sexual and reproductive
abuses, among other timely topics. The chapter authors document a
long list in what the book calls \"Trump's Reign of Terror.\"
Organized thematically, the book has four sections: The first
gathers histories about the Trump years' roots in a longer history
of anti-migration; the second includes essays on artistic and
activist responses on the border during the Trump years; the third
critiques the normalization of Trump's rhetoric and actions in
popular media and culture; and the fourth envisions the future.
Resistance and Abolition in the Borderlands is an
essential reader for those wishing to understand the extent of the
damage caused by the Trump era and its impact on Latinx people.
