It’s safe to say no presidency in the history of the United States is as ripe for satire as Donald Trump’s. John Lithgow is capitalizing on that in his new book “Dumpty: The Age of Trump in Verse.” The actor is now making the rounds to read verses from the book that lampoon Trump associates like Rudy Giuliani.

Lithgow is a Trump critic, who is giving his critique of the president a new spin. In an op-ed he penned for the New York Times he wrote:

Entertainment and politics have become bizarrely intertwined. Perhaps it’s time for a working entertainer to weigh in. I call Donald Trump an “entertainer president” advisedly since he has proved himself to be such an inept public servant.

Over the years, he has thrust himself into the public eye with the flamboyant histrionics of a latter-day P.T. Barnum. Part of this is the amoral tradecraft of a New York real estate developer, but a lot of it springs from the appetites of a voracious attention-getter.

Think of Mr. Trump preening at his beauty contests, body-slamming Vince McMahon at W.W.F. events or holding rallies that resemble the arena gigs of an insult comic. These are the antics of a showman, not a statesman.
