THE BATTLES OF DONNIE AND TEDDY was inspired by watching the Republican Party debates, and especially the knock-down drag out fight between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. They are like two little boys fighting in a schoolyard or playground over their toys and who is the best. They hurl insults, call each other names, and try to humiliate one another and his family members. Meanwhile, as the fight goes on, the Republican Party is appalled, as are many national leaders, who have expressed concern that the level of personal attacks are not befitting a Presidential candidate, much less a President, and are dragging down the reputation of the U.S. into the mud. So I have written this book in that spirit - featuring Trump and Cruz as two little kids fighting - and then fighting some more. The book features four stories of two kids fighting - in the sandbox, at a birthday party, at the lake, and at the playground.
