«Per qualche ragione, i guai vengono sempre a cercarmi» (Frank Sinatra). È una sera del 1962, e se qualcuno fosse entrato per sbaglio nel Forest Lawn Memorial Park, a Glendale, California - un tiro di schioppo da Hollywood - si sarebbe ritrovato davanti un singolare festino: nel mezzo del cimitero, dalle parti della tomba di Clark Gable, avendo appena saputo della morte del boss Lucky Luciano, un gruppetto di amici sta festeggiando a suon di coppe di champagne il fatto di essere ancora vivi. Non solo: vivi e famosissimi. Non a caso si chiamano Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford, Dean Martin, Shirley McLaine. Sono il Rat Pack, attori, cantanti, icone del loro tempo uniti dal glamour e dalle follie di una vita sotto i riflettori… E alcuni, come Sinatra, anche amici di mafiosi, finanziatori di campagne elettorali e grandi sostenitori del partito democratico…

"An uncharacteristic warning from one of the most respected, non-partisan journalists in the world" —Jake Tapper, CNN
"It was riveting. I couldn't get enough of it." —Gayle King, CBS Mornings

Top journalists take viewers on a candid journey behind the scenes of the 2016 presidential campaign in a thoughtful critique of the national political press. They reflect on Trump’s toxic relationship with journalists, on questions that haunt them about their role in the drama, and on the decline in public trust in the news media. This Retro Report video takes an unprecedented look at how Trump’s rhetoric – and the response by mainstream media – have reshaped journalism.

MAD ABOUT TRUMP: A BRILLIANT LOOK AT OUR BRAINLESS PRESIDENT is an all-out comedy assault on the most idiotic idiot to ever reach the White House (George W. Bush and visitors included)! In these 128 pages, President Trump is mercilessly mocked, relentlessly ridiculed and savagely satirized. The book features MAD's best reprinted material with the sharpest satiric shots at "The Donald," comically chronicling his rise from obnoxious businessman to really obnoxious reality show host to über-obnoxious "Commander-in-Tweet." Please note: MAD will not offer refunds on this book when Trump is impeached! This title also includes a new introduction by CNN's Jake Tapper!
