The Day of the Donald (subtitled Trump Trumps America!) is a satirical work of fiction by Andrew Shaffer.[1] Published on June 28, 2016, the book imagines Donald Trump winning the US election to become the forty-fifth president (which subsequently occurred) and examines his second year in office.[2][3]

Plot

The book focuses on the protagonist Jimmie Bernwood, a down-on-his-luck former tabloid reporter, his attempts to ghost-write President Trump's memoir and his investigation into a murder.[2]

Publishers Weekly states that Trump is the most harshly criticized of the multiple figures criticized in the book.[4]
