Saturday, June 29 at 1 p.m. Join The Winsted Community Bookstore, 414 Main St., for an author presentation of Trump, Trump, Trump: The March of Folly, by Susan Ohanian. From giving his second-grade teacher a black eye to insulting the grieving parents of a military hero, the rollicking verse in this book presents a Donald Trump profile of bombast, babes, and bankruptcies. Details of Trump, his progeny and current political cohorts, characterized by greed and deceit, are verified by engrossing news accounts. The facts are grim, the humor captivating. 
At her 2017 Vermont Town Meeting, Susan introduced a successful advisory motion to Impeach Trump, based on Article 1, Section 9, Clause 8 of the U. S. Constitution.
