Donald Trump: Necromancer

Kate Johnson’s narration is the secret weapon of this audiobook, delivering Trump’s signature bluster, bluster, and more bluster with an uncanny precision. She nails the performative arrogance, the meandering monologues, and the sudden pivots between self-aggrandizement and victimhood, all while keeping the tone delightfully campy. The production itself is clean, with subtle sound design that enhances the supernatural elements—think eerie wind howls during necromantic incantations or the crunch of bones underfoot during resurrections. That said, the pacing stumbles in a few spots; the middle act drags slightly as the story meanders through the necromancer’s training montage, which feels a bit padded before the inevitable climax. The satire lands strongest in the early going, where Lash’s wit is razor-sharp, but it occasionally softens into broad parody by the end. Still, Johnson’s performance elevates even the weaker moments, making this a snappy, divisive listen that’s either your cup of tea or a hill you’re willing to die on. If you crave political fantasy that doesn’t take itself too seriously, this is your book. If you prefer your satire with subtlety, well, you might want to stick to *Veep* reruns.
