If They Had Twitter: What America's Presidents Would Have Posted

For two hundred years, America's presidents had thoughts. Strong ones. At all hours. Mercifully, there was no app. Until now. IF THEY HAD TWITTER imagines the posts our commanders-in-chief would have fired off if history had handed them a smartphone - from George Washington correcting the record on his teeth ("not wood - hippo ivory") to Teddy Roosevelt announcing the family has acquired a badger, to Calvin Coolidge saying absolutely nothing, on brand. Here's the twist: the tweets are invented, but every single one is built on something that actually happened. There really was a 1,400-pound cheese in the White House lobby. The raccoon really was pardoned. The squirrels really were deported by the man who planned D-Day. The alligators were, in fact, in the house. Deadpan, clean, and quietly hilarious - a gift book for history buffs, dads, teachers, and anyone who has ever wondered what James Madison would post at 5'4" and furious. Forty-plus presidents. Zero wi-fi. One very confused Millard Fillmore. The roasts history never saw.
