Published:Sunday | November 1, 2020 | 12:14 AM

G leaner columnist Norris R. McDonald’s book, Corona Trump and the Politics of Medicine – The Bitta Truth: Volume One, debuted at number two in just one day of hitting the Amazon Top 100 Free Kindle Unlimited (enrolled) Best Sellers in One-Hour Politics & Social Sciences Short Reads last week.

McDonald puts forward a ‘bitta truth’ in the introduction and preview of the book.

He opines …

“The rise in poverty, homelessness and the number of people who are forced to do dumpster-diving to get a meal tell the Bitta Truth about the two Americas: one for the rich, one for the poor.

“There is no doubt America needs a change of leadership and direction. The Trump clown show is coming to an end, therefore, this 2020 general election may well show the true impact of PEOPLE POWER!”

One key aim and objective of this Bitta Truth collection, he writes, is to reveal “the corrosive way President Donald Trump has undermined democracy, freedom, justice and human rights in America”.

Corona Trump and the Politics of Medicine – The Bitta Truth: Volume One gives readers a snapshot of a Trumpian, make-believe, dystopian world, wherein Donald ‘The Great-Impeached’ Trump is seen as a ‘god-like figure’, a demiurge, battling the evil, secular, liberal dark forces.

The Kindle edition, Corona Trump and the Politics of Medicine, was published on October 25. The book was self-published by Afro Caribbean Riddims Publishing House, which is owned by the author.

The eBook has 41 pages and is available for free download with an Amazon Kindle Unlimited membership or for US$3.99 without membership. The just-released 56-page paperback edition is available for US$5.97.

Corona Trump and the Politics of Medicine – The Bitta Truth: Volume One is a compilation of 10 commentaries and opinions published by The Jamaica Gleaner between 2019 and 2020.
