This book takes back the power that Trump, or what he represents, tried to take away by starting that awful phrase. Each rhyme is fun and memorable and a call to arms for the liberal side. The oil paintings are gorgeous and have amazing likenesses in their portraits. I especially loved the one of Hilary swearing in with her husband, Bill, holding the Bible. This book is not afraid to push boundaries.

I was excited for this picture-book-for-adults based on the theme, but I actually enjoyed the illustrations far more than the "story." The content was simply mediocre at best. I received a digital ARC through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

No matter what your political affiliation is you will enjoy this book! The authors did a great job with coming up with different euphemisms for vagina, although a couple were a stretch. My favorite was "crusty crustacean"! The illustrations were also wonderful!

This is a book of poetry that aims to tell President Trump a list of all the other things he can grab instead of women's private parts. I really liked the premise of this book, even though I wasn't completely convinced by its realization. Nevertheless, this book makes its point, and the artwork between every poem is beautiful. I think this might speak differently to someone else, because I didn't really feel a big difference between the various poems.

Ugh, this is embarrassingly bad. How did it even become a book? Should publish is as illustrations only (they're good) with little captions and ditch the clunky juvenile "rhymes"

This is a good giggle of a book. It is a book long poem about all the things the president could grab as opposed to a particular of the female anatomy. This book has a large amount of double entendre which is highly amusing. Not suitable for children or the sensitive but perfect for the person in your life who love a good dirty giggle.

This book had a cleaver premise and had the potential to be really funny, while it was an ok read, it wasn't really funny.
The illustrations are beautiful but the actual verses were meh'

This was a hilarious, quick read good for a cathartic laugh. I imagine it would make a great gift for your progressive bestie. I don't recommend it as an ebook because that format didn't do the illustrations justice.

It was a little too political and angry and missed the humor. I liked the images a lot and I am glad it was a short quick read but it still felt dogged

Pictures and poems and sadly how awful trump is. I laughed 9sometimes that is good just to keep the creepy man Trump is. It is actually very good., one that you know someone who will also appreciate the humor and truth of TRUMP.
Thanks to NetGalley for an opportunity to read this. I will recommend this to others and review on Amazon as it comes out.

A great example of political satire. Entertaining read, and great watercolor artwork. Some of the rhymes were not quite there, but overall a hilarious little book.

I LOVE THIS! It had me giggling throughout. If you didn't get the idea from the title, it is a little explicit, but I love that. It seems a little ridiculous that a book like this even needs to exist, but alas, here we are. To me it was like Dr. Seuss meets the modern day political BS. The illustrations were hilarious and well done.

Oh boy, get ready for this one. A book that is going to split your audience from the start. I don't think its proper to rate a book low just because you don't agree with it. I don't necessarily aim at getting political on my reviews, but I think it's fair as a reviewer to say I lean towards the political agenda of this book, so we'll go from there.

First, the art is great. I like the style and the humor translates. The real star of the show here are the poems within. I'm not sure if the author took these off Urban Dictionary or their original but there were some good ones in here. At one point there is a running theme about a mole that at first I was bored with, but the punchline hits in the end.

At the end of the day this is a not for kids satire in the style of a children's book. Is it for everyone, no. However, I can think of 2 or 3 people I know will love this that I'll pick it up for a gift. I think you know if you're gonna like this or not just by judging the book by the cover. If you think its for you don't hesitate to pick it up. I think you and your like-minded friends will get a kick out of it.

Okay, I admit, I was already laughing my butt off just from the cover alone when I first saw it was available. The adult picture book did not disappoint.

No one (with half a brain and one ear at least) can deny that the President of the United States made a very crude, yet common, statement about women…well, about his perceived ego, value, and worth by women. This hilarious picture book takes the President through a variety of things that are appropriate to touch other than a woman’s privates.

The two “things” that I found the funniest (because, really, who is interested in Justin Bieber anymore), were his new putter and Mike Pence. This is definitely not a children’s picture book, but teenagers would find it hilarious as well (at least my 14 year old did).

The illustrations were just right for the book and the verses were like little daggers thrown in the President’s direction.

I loved the illustrations in this but that it about all, I know what they were trying to do but, for me, it didn't do it.

*Huge thanks to Julia Young, Matt Harkins, Animal Media Group and NetGalley for this copy which I chose to read and all opinions are my own*

I was a little disappointed in this one. It's definitely funny and clever, but quickly feels redundant. The paintings are well done and pretty, but could have been of better subjects/objects. I appreciate having some new euphemisms for my female anatomy!

While I can appreciate the message, this felt like it was trying too hard. The rhymes were forced and some stretched to the point of making very little sense. The two stars are solely for the illustrations. I was especially disappointed because the idea had so much potential. Do not recommend.

A very clever take on a maddening issue. My laughing did let off a lot of stored-up anger and frustration. And the art is brilliant! (The multiple synonyms weren't funny to me. Even so, I appreciated the sarcastic tone and humor.)

The thing about this book that truly gets me is that it doesn’t seem angry enough. With a completely pathetic excuse for a president (as well as a human being), the conversation surrounding his thoroughly inappropriate comments always seems to get ignored for one reason or another. The right wing conservatives always give him a pass for whoever abhorrent behavior he presents and we’re forced to live with it as a result of the GOP controlling government. A book like this is a good commentary, one that is exceedingly depressing to have a purpose for.

The cutesy lyrical rhymes were entertaining, but did not always flow together, however I deeply appreciated the creative ways of repeatedly trying to drive the point home to our disgusting president. Unfortunately, I think he’s to narcissistic and dumb to ever see the importance or respect women in general. At the end of the day, I appreciate the fact that the president is being called out yet again, but I would have liked to see this book be angrier at him for his inhumane words and actions. I feel like we’re all thinking it at this point, so you might as well go ahead and express it.

The end, perhaps, was my favorite part.

Well.

That was incredibly disappointing.

With a title like that, with an author like this, with a subject so rife with fodder.

How do you come up with this?

A series of rhyming couplets, paired with perfectly lovely watercolor art, all about the things that guy should grab other than that to which no woman has ever voluntarily offered up to him without some form of monetary compensation.

And while this book certainly introduced me to myriad euphemisms for female genitalia, some of which actually make sense, the humor here is painfully lacking. Painfully.

The last couplet, and the last piece of art, are the best. The rest?

Meh. Very disappointing.
