About The Making of a Monster – Volume 1: A Satirical Perspective on the Rise of a Narcissistic President
The Making of a Monster: Volume 1 – Donald J. Trump is a darkly satirical deep dive into the making of one of the most polarizing figures of our time. Written with biting humor and psychological insight, author Robert Ragnar dissects the origins of Donald J. Trump—not as a political figure, but as a product of family, culture, and pathology.
From his formative years in the emotionally barren halls of the Trump household to the militarized discipline of New York Military Academy and the privilege-drenched corridors of Wharton, Ragnar traces how a boy from Queens evolved into a man who weaponized grievance, spectacle, and narcissism on a global stage. The book is less a partisan takedown than a forensic exploration of character—how privilege without empathy, and power without conscience, can twist a person into something monstrous.
Blending satire, psychological commentary, and cultural analysis, Ragnar peels back the layers of myth to reveal the damaged child behind “The Donald.” Along the way, he asks hard questions: What makes a person incapable of empathy? How do family values become family curses? And can a society obsessed with wealth and spectacle recognize its own reflection in the monsters it creates?
Witty, unflinching, and disturbingly relevant, The Making of a Monster is both a biography and a warning—a study in how democracies decay when they confuse charisma with character and celebrity with competence.

Author Bio:
Robert Ragnar is an independent writer with a deep fascination for the intersection of culture, politics, religion and technology. Based in Sydney, Australia, and raised in a non-literal Christian household, he observed the major religious rituals of mainstream Australian culture without fully embracing them. His early education in both public and private faith-based schools exposed him to a diverse range of perspectives, sparking his curiosity in the mythology surrounding religious history and human behavior.
At university, Ragnar studied law, history, philosophy, and politics, developing a strong foundation in critical thinking and analysis. During the rise of the internet in the 1990s, he built a career in the technology sector, contributing to its early innovations. In recent years, his attention has turned to artificial intelligence and its far-reaching effects on society and the future of humanity.
