It's funny...regardless of your political beliefs
TBH - My wife ordered this for our Seder to needle her father in a good-natured way about his support for Trump. Now, if you rage at anything that combines Trump and humor as part of a vast leftist conspiracy, it won't be for you. However, if you can appreciate satire - which is exactly what this is - then just enjoy!

Was This Edited? There are like 500 typos at least.
Sorry but...was this edited? This reads as if it was written in fifteen minutes and sent off to the printer as-is. The jokes aren't tight. It's not up to the author's other work, or the quality of other joke Haggadot. It pretty much reads as a compilation of all the worst Trump jokes that have been made over the year. I don't think it's worth the price (and the price was very low).There are a number of typos, too. Nearly every use of Hebrew has substantial typos, and the book flips among hey-yud, yud-yud with vowels, yud-hey-vav-hey, and yud-yud no vowels for "Adonai" (and in one place, spelling it out in Hebrew...who does that?).- On page 13, the last word in Hebrew is cut off (the vet is missing), "shabbat veshel" is in brackets to be said on shabbat, but it's not indicated in the transliteration or the translation--so if you didn't read Hebrew (or had participants who didn't) it would be confusing--"Adonai" is also spelled out in the Hebrew text instead of indicated hey (as it is in the rest of the book) or two yuds.- on page 9, there aren't any vowels, and although most of the book does hey yud for Adonai, here, it is yud hey vav hey.- on page 18, "hagafen" is misspelled in Hebrew (also misspelled on page 49) and there are commas (normally not in prayers, and not used elsewhere in the book), and there is a random dash between aleph and lamed in eloheinu. Then there aren't vowels in shehecheyanu (page 20) (random dash between aleph and lamed is there, though, along with punctuation). Like, my Hebrew is terrible but I still found typos on nearly every page with Hebrew.- The random dash in eloheinu continues until page 54, when it's dropped suddenly, and also there is a sudden chance to using yud-yud for Adonai. Don't worry it changes again on page 56, yud yud is used but no vowels.Not that anyone is actually going to use this Haggadah, but it just looks really sloppy, and makes me pretty confident that no one actually edited this all that carefully. Typos were harder to find in the English (mostly because it's not funny and I didn't want to read it), but, for example, on page 21, "I will say, The Urchatz..." ("the" shouldn't be capitalized) and on page 34, the underline for "everyone" continues into the space following the colon, page 46 "Cardi B: It's Cardi!" has two spaces between the colon and "it's."I've compiled my own Haggadah, that includes a lot of jokes. Passover is a hilarious holiday and this Administration is, for better or worse (mostly worse) a hilarious administration. It shouldn't be that difficult to annotate a regular Haggadah with jokes about the Administration, vs. this play format, and then it would be funny and even potentially usable.But hey! At least it sticks to tradition and ends right after shulchan oreich.

Three bucks for 5 million dollars worth of fun
I bought the Yada Yada Haggadah first and loved it, so I got this one, too. My favorite part was The Four Children and the Chad Gad Ya parody (One Little Vote). I also liked the cameo appearances by Mrs. Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Jerry Seinfeld.This Haggadah really made me laugh out loud. There has to be a 2nd edition in the works with Speaker Pelosi, the president of Ukraine and the perfect phone call not to mention the CoronaVirus. It would sell millions of copies!

Not my cup of tea
I did not like this at all. I guess it was my fault for not realizing it was for liberal Jews who do not like the president. I am extremely conservative and found this a bit offensive. Iโm not sure the President would like this either.There were a few funny parts so I did give it three stars.

Hilarious.
Would give 5 stars, because I thought I'd be able to use this at our Passover Seder, but can't. Obviously a great piece of satirical humor, but NOT a real Haggadah. I'll do my best to use a snipit or two. :)

Cute one sided political commentary based on Haggadah
Let's get something straight, this is NOT a Haggadah. It is a cute parody based on political jokes. I got it for fun at this past year's Seder, and it served its purpose. Don't know if I will ever open it again, and, had I seen it before purchasing it, don't know if I would have bought it.

Truly fantastic!
Truly fantastic! A tremendous, tremendous achievement. This Dave Cowan guy is a very funny guy and also extremely smart, though not as smart as me but still very, very smart. Way up there. Many people, some of them very credible, have tweeted me to say that this Passover Haggadah is going to be HUUUGE. Also, folks please notice that it was made in America, so, thanks Dave for helping me bring the jobs back!

Was Hoping It Would Be At Least Somewhat Funny
I'm an orthodox Jew, I know something about Haggadahs and passover traditions. I'm guessing this is called a Haggadah in a comical way, I can't seriously call this a Haggadah.There are very good jokes to be made about the current administration, this book doesn't have any. I was hoping that I'd find and least part of it entertaining which would make it worth keeping but even that it didn't do.It's mainly rants against the administration and it's policies. At one point it just quotes dumb things President Trump has said and calls him names. Calling someone names and quoting stupid things they're said isn't funny or clever, it's actually childish and petty. Especially if it's a celebrity who generally aren't known for being intelligent and especially someone like Trump, a media creation who isn't known for his sagacious comments.There are other problems from the Haggadah aspect of it. One such example is that Miriam (Moses's sister) is portrayed as an annoying feminist, it's not funny it's annoying.This book is made for a very specific audience. If you hate President Trump I could see how you'd find this book funny. If you go to a group of people and mock someone they all hate, they'll find it funny but no one else will. That is how I see this book.If you don't hate President Trump you probably won't find this book very funny. If you do, this book is for you, enjoy it along with your hatred for our President, I guess.
