In "the Trump satire we've been waiting for" (The Washington Post), award-winning and bestselling author of Thank You for Smoking delivers a hilarious and whipsmart fake memoir by Herb Nutterman--Donald Trump's seventh chief of staff--who has written the ultimate tell-all about Trump and Russia.

Herb Nutterman never intended to become Donald Trump's White House chief of staff. Herb served the Trump Organization for twenty-seven years, holding jobs in everything from a food and beverage manager at the Trump Magnifica to being the first general manager of the Trump Bloody Run Golf Course. And when his old boss asks "his favorite Jew" to take on the daunting role of chief of staff, Herb, spurred on by loyalty agrees.

But being the chief of staff is a lot different from being a former hospitality expert. Soon, Herb finds himself deeply involved in Russian intrigue, deflecting rumors about Mike Pence's high school involvement in a Satanic cult, and leading President Trump's reelection campaign.

What Nutterman experiences is outrageous, outlandish, and otherwise unbelievable--therefore making it a deadly accurate account of being the chief of staff during the Trump administration. With hilarious jabs at the biggest world leaders and Washington politics overall, Make Russia Great Again is a timely political satire from "one of the funniest writers in the English language" (Tom Wolfe).

Critics’ reviews

Praise for this book

"The Trump satire we've been waiting for....The comic genius behind such classics as 'Thank You for Smoking' has now given us an outrageously funny novel equal to the absurdity roiling Washington.... Amid the twin economic and health catastrophes of our era, Buckley has done the impossible: Made Politics Funny Again. Laughter may not be the best medicine for covid-19, but it's a heck of a lot better than bleach." -Washington Post
