Justin Klinger asked this question about Billy Summers:

am I the only one having trouble with the CONSTANT references to Donald Trump in everything King does these days ? I'm enjoying the plot of the book, but i'm 10 percent in, and there have been like 20 mentions of Trump in a book that has nothing to do with politics.

chris christiano there are 2 sides to the trump thing. this story took place and was written during that time, so its hard to ignore. and while i'm not on the same sid…morethere are 2 sides to the trump thing. this story took place and was written during that time, so its hard to ignore. and while i'm not on the same side as King, i got over the references i didnt agree with in favor of the story. its hard to argue that trump was not exactly presidential in his mannerisms whether you agree or disagree that he did some good things putting america first. i almost didnt read this because of the noise around the trump references and i'm glad i put that aside and read it.. would be nice if his next book points out some of the obvious failures of the biden admistration! but no one reports fairly on both sides these days...(less)
