    Apologies for the title, but I think the title has to match the headline, so.
    I didn't see another thread about this, but thought it was very interesting.
    Please check out the following links. It's either awesome, amusing or horrifying, depending on one's political affiliations.
    It just amuses me, as many on here are constantly accusing teachers and others of trying to indoctrinate children.
    I thought it was a joke at first when I saw the ad come on a couple of nights ago.
    Did some searching, and here is the results.
    I cannot think of a president or ex-president who has lowered the class bar more than Trump.
    If I were a Trump supporter, I would be embarrassed.
    What do you think about this subject of Trump childrens books?
    The book about Trump battling Hillary Queenton is a little disturbing.
    Huckabee is such a loser!

    I'm sure that is the purpose but at least it isn't being done in public schools.

    True. Just thought it was interesting.
    I laughed out loud when I realized it was real.
    Huckabee has sunk to new depths.

    If you mean he is giving the booklets away for free then I would agree.

    It isn't really free, it is cover for a monthly subscription to an online education service for the low price of $21.90 (plus tax) per month. I'm pretty sure the way it is marketed, with the actual price hidden in small print, would be illegal here in the UK.

    I honestly think this is more about money that politics and the inevitable controversy surrounding the Trump booklet was a planned part of the marketing scheme.

    No doubt it's for money.
    The weird medieval book is a little unnerving for an ex president though.
    Again, I'm sure it's for money, and probably a little ego showing for Trump.

    I didn't know that. It is worse than I had thought. Politics continues to confirm that it is humanity at its worst.
