Art 2.0 of the Deal

Art 2.0 of the Deal: Donald J. Trump Hits the Wall is the cautionary tale of a self-proclaimed "stable genius" and modern day dystopian anti-hero la Winston in George Orwell's 1984. The "outsider" President soon proves himself to be unprepared and unfit to deal with a global pandemic that threatens the lives of U.S. citizens. More importantly to this incumbent, the "invisible enemy" endangered Trump's campaign and prospects for reelection.

This art hysterical tour de farce - a portrait of our time - is a GPS through the Twilight Zone, filled with iconic visual CliffsNotes mile markers to art history, a reality show president, partisan politics, deals, corruption, the coronavirus pandemic, and a New Normal where life and fact are immeasurably stranger than fiction. 

The award-winning illustrator/author, Cathy Hull, skillfully guides readers through the harrowing twists and hairpin turns of the 2020 political landscape, 45's motivations and machinations, and the resulting unintended consequences. Fasten your seatbelt, it's a bumpy ride!

Tired of all the rhetoric, pontification, and analysis? Just kick back and enjoy the artwork. Get the picture?

Art 2.0 of the Deal opens with Trump's acquittal following his impeachment where the author's debut book, Art 101 of the Deal: Donald J. Trump Off the Wall left off. It concludes with the ultimate made-for-TV season finale or perhaps series cliffhanger: an uncertain future to be determined by voters in what conspiracy theorists such as POTUS himself call "a rigged election." The inefficiency of the electoral system combined with slow mail delivery during a pandemic are cause for concern; the plot never ceases to thicken. Take a front row seat and view the Trump Show in vivid detail and living color.

Be aware - there is no intermission. This president, in effect, called dibs on the election avowing defeat was neither an option nor a possibility. Stay tuned. See what happens....

Meanwhile, Donald Trump and Cathy Hull continue to be the gift that keeps on giving. Laughter is infectious. Pass it on.
