The Trumpster Fire Escape Almanac

I received a free copy of this book from Librarything's Early Reviewer's Club in exchange for an honest review. With just 84 pages, the book still manages to contain a wealth of information on how to relocate to another country. If Donald Trump has you thinking about leaving the U.S., this book is for you.

The publisher's summary: 

Donald Trump’s America feels less like the land of the free and more like a quickly spreading dumpster fire. If you’ve ever thought, “Maybe it’s time to think about getting out of the US…” this book is your roadmap to moving abroad.

The Trumpster Fire Escape Almanac blends biting political commentary with practical guidance for Americans considering living overseas. Part escape manual, part statistical almanac, it helps you answer the real questions about leaving America.

Where can I live without my blood pressure spiking at every headline? Which countries welcome expats with decent healthcare, affordable living, and functional democracy? How do visas, taxes, language, and safety stack up in 99 countries and nearly 500 cities worldwide?

What’s the difference between running away and choosing a better life?

With data pulled from the World Bank, CIA Factbook, UN, and more, this unique relocation guide offers both the facts and the comic relief you’ll need to plan your expat life. Whether you’re a retiree, a digital nomad, or just someone who can’t breathe through the smoke anymore, this book shows you how to scout, select, and settle into your new homeland.

There is alot of political anti-Trump commentary as well as practical advise for Americans looking to move abroad.  Topics covered include visas, healthcare, cost of living and safety from 99 countries. Most of this information is contained within two spreadsheets that the author created. 

The chapters are short making the book a fast read. The information the author provides is thorough. He gives all of the necessary considerations you need to know to plan an international move. I would say, though, that this information is just the starting point for the research that you must do in order to be fully prepared for your move.

The book was published in late October 2025 so the information inside the pages might be out of date. This will depend on which country you might consider moving to. If you are someone afraid of what Trump might do to you, this book is required reading. 5 out of 5 stars.
