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.
