Definitely a more prescient novel in the age of Trump than it was when it was published. Clearly a satirical novel, but one that is all too believable, and even with a somewhat lovable protagonist at the center. Chance's redeeming quality is that he honestly isn't trying to do any harm; in fact, he really doesn't know what he's doing at all. Chance is simply the embodiment of everything he's seen on TV in the package of an intellectually disabled gardener. A great little book.
