What do ... Donald Trump, Abraham Lincoln, Slavery, Dry Tortugas National Park, Monticello, the Gettysburg Address, Disney World, the Black Lives Matter Movement, Chancellorsville and other Civil War battles, LeBron James, the October Surprise of 1980, the White House, Thomas Jefferson, the Coronavirus, the death of George Floyd, and Naomi Osaka ... have in common? In Trump-A-Lincoln-A-Lago, a great unraveling occurs. In the final year of the Trump presidency, a writer named Brian Josepher receives a dinner invitation from Donald Trump and the First Lady. His latest book has become a must-read at the White House. The acceptance of that invitation then instigates a story of madness and mayhem, psychological examination, and great historical reevaluation. That madness and mayhem includes the president of the United States attempting to make a spy out of Josepher - or an "espionager" in the president's vernacular. The president has a mission in mind. The mission will win the president a second term in office.
But, the invitation to the Trump White House sets in motion a wider journey. In the many decades since his death, a pivotal question of Abraham Lincoln remains unanswered. Why did he travel to battlefields during the Civil War? The historical record indicates that he went to Antietam, Gettysburg, Petersburg and Richmond. What was Lincoln seeking there?
With that question in mind, Josepher decides to take a ride. On his way to the Trump White House, he takes a road trip, by bicycle, to Civil War sites. In Richmond, a dossier returns. In a dusty archive, Josepher chances upon a report, written by a trusted Lincoln confidant. Unknown to Lincoln, the confidant reported directly to Jefferson Davis. Davis, in turn, ordered the spy to form a Confederate cell situated in the heart of Washington. That cell went by an acronym: bat. The acronym referred to the Booth Action Team. John Wilkes Booth became the ringleader.
Trump-A-Lincoln-A-Lago then weaves in and out of history. Using characters both historical and imagined, the narrative chronicles two vastly different, though strangely similar, centuries. On these pages, discoveries are everywhere.
