I'm sure Shady Vance would love to smother him with a used sofa cushion but so far hasn't been able to figure out how to get away with it. Otherwise the iniquitous collection of toadies, careerists and Russian assets that surrounds the mad king are finding his lunacy useful. So, until he does something so flamboyantly nuts (e.g., take off his pants and expose himself at a press conference; claim he's the real Jesus and try to walk on the surface of the Mierda-Lardo swimming pool) that even Mike Johnson can't pretend he didn't notice, we and the rest of the world are stuck with watching his barking madness while hoping that he falls over dead before he starts WWIII.

It has a one hole course or something like that.

Like fellating a mic?

Seven Days In May!

Woah... didn't read that book bc I was pretty young probably but....
It was probably the first political movie I ever saw on TV as a tween?

My library has it, says it's available on our particular e/audio book app; but app says it doesn't have it.

Guess I'll call my library at some point. 👍

Thanks, Aristus!

Book overview
“What would happen if the president of the U.S.A. went stark-raving mad?” Back by popular demand, The New York Times calls the 1965 bestselling political thriller by the author of Seven Days in May, “A little too plausible for comfort.”

How can one man convince the highest powers in Washington that the President of the United States is dangerously unstable—before it’s too late?

Senator Jim MacVeagh is proud to serve his country—and his president, Mark Hollenbach, who has a near-spotless reputation as the vibrant, charismatic leader of MacVeagh’s party and the nation. When Hollenbach begins taking MacVeagh into his confidence, the young senator knows that his star is on the rise.

But then Hollenbach starts summoning MacVeagh in the middle of the night to Camp David. There, the president sits in the dark and rants about his enemies, unfurling insane theories about all the people he says are conspiring against him. They would do anything, President Hollenbach tells the stunned senator, to stop him from setting in motion the grand, unprecedented plans he has to make America a great world power once again.

MacVeagh comes away from these meetings increasingly convinced that the man he once admired has lost his mind. But what can he do? Who can he tell?
