Interesting quote from "Insane Clown President: Dispatches from the 2016 Circus"

Hi - I'm reading "Insane Clown President: Dispatches from the 2016 Circus" by Matt Taibbi, Victor Juhasz and wanted to share this quote with you.

"It's an Alice in Wonderland story, in which a billionaire hedonist jumps down the rabbit hole of American politics and discovers a surreal world where each successive barrier to power collapses before him like magic. From a literary standpoint it makes perfect sense that Trump would be the grotesque and charmless protagonist that he is. His bellicose pussy-grabbing vulgarity and defiant lack of self-awareness make him, unfortunately, the perfect foil for reflecting the rot and neglect of the corrupted political system he conquers. A system unable to stop this must be very sick indeed."
