OH DADDY CHRONICLES: The Tasting by Barry Robbins – Political Satire, Political Humor, Political and Popular Culture Lampoon

For those of you who still have heartburn from the last administration, Barry Robbins, sharp-as-a-whip satirist, has come to our rescue with his new short work lampooning Donald J. Trump, #45, in his uproarious short story, Oh Daddy Chronicles – The Tasting.

This book draws from two earlier books, Oh Daddy Chronicles and Oh Daddy Chronicles 2: Return of Covfefe. These enlightening and downright hysterical parodies place readers squarely in the Oval Office and at Mar-a-Lago, respectively.

Oh Daddy Chronicles: The Tasting samples each previous book plus some new material. They come together in a hands-down, laugh-out-loud lampooning of #45 – and everyone else in sight. From Ivanka to Jared, Vladimir to White House staffers, Robbins pulls no punches and hits his target every time. Even Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are fair game along with Fauci and the Cheneys.

Robbins sees the funny everywhere, and thanks to him, so do we.

With episode titles like Hydroxy and Me, Billy Bob and Bobbie Sue, Cheneys vs. Trumps, to name a few, Robbins gives readers material in which we can frame those years and put them in a manageable perspective. We learn how much #45 hates the color blue – and why. Readers also learn why his special relationship with the Russian dictator may be more worrisome than any of us previously thought, and oh so much more.

Robbins’ unique and engaging short work will no doubt drive readers to the first two books.

Another way Robbins engages his readers is via a poll. Readers get to choose which answer they like best from a number of possibilities given by political figures mentioned in the book to the question of, “Why did the chicken cross the road?” Simply brilliant.
