Is it possible to satirise Donald Trump?

That's what Howard Jacobson has done. The Booker Prize-winning author has written a satirical novel on the President, with the rather interesting title of 'Pussy'.

Howard joined us to talk about what prompted him to write the book, and what can be achieved through satire. "You just don't know what good might be done through an endless stream of derision."

He also gave his thoughts on Sean Spicer's controversial Hitler comment: "It was too stupid to be anti-semitic... We're dealing with profound ignorance."
