Trump Era Novel Responding to Modern Age of Misinformation

I wondered how far this is a Trump era novel responding to modern age of misinformation or what's sometimes been called a post-truth age. But it does try to mean that the vision of America divided by a wall doesn't seem so far fetched. You go to extraordinary lengths to maintain the ruse. I think you even commissioned photographs. Tell me why you went all out with this device because it sounds like you also had a bit of fun with it. Yeah, I had a lot of fun. The biography comes complete with fictional footnotes for invented interviews with real people and photographs of X in her youth. It also comes with an author's note for CM at the end.
