Donald Trump doesn’t fail to deliver on his daily yield of sexist remarks. This phenomenon is funnily depicted in a new satirical book on Donald Trump.
Michael Ian Black’s satirical book on Donald Trump that is called A Child’s First book of Trump is creating quite a stir and bringing back the questions and rage surrounding Donald Trump and his reckless use of freedom to speech.
It is a comic book which explains the ‘Donald Trump phenomenon’ and offers a humorous take on it. Satire is used as a weapon to drive the point home.
Apart from his characteristic hairstyle, Donald Trump is also very well known for the daily volume of sarcastic and sexist remarks flowing out of his mouth. Every time, he surprises me with the depth of knowledge he gains in objectifying women.
The responsibility of being a presidential candidate doesn’t weigh him down in calling women, ‘bimbos’, ‘ugly’, ‘piece of ass’ or ‘fat slob’. He makes it a point to tell people, mostly women, that he doesn’t like the way they look.
Yes, I am surprised too. When the teacher said, “Think before you speak”, Trump understood, “There’s no need to think. Just speak.” It is not okay even to possess such ideas but Trump takes no shame in shouting these remarks on a public platform. Being politically correct is one thing, being progressive and bold is another but shouldn’t we at least check if we are hurting somebody’s sentiments?
These crude, offensive, and sexist comments are not at least winning any hearts. It makes more sense to refine your thoughts instead of spitting everything out, doesn’t it? The spoken words have a huge impact on a listener. In his case, the listeners are deeply offended and enraged.
Black’s satirical book on Donald Trump is a witty and humorous channelization of this rage. It depicts Mr. Trump in the form of an orange colored potato with distinctly similar hair. He talks of a creature that he calls ‘Americus Trumpus’ that lives on flat TV screens and runs at every camera he sees. Trump is shown as a greedy businessman who loves being on all kinds of media and says everything that can keep him there. This phenomenon is called the Donald Trump phenomenon.
This book is a direct result of the ‘speak as you like’ attitude that is not going unnoticed. People are listening to every word and taking it seriously. There is no place for indecent ideas on the public domain. We can only hope Donald Trump will learn from this and take his own words as seriously as his listeners.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
