Book excerpt: America is in crisis. The country is locked down with a pandemic. The economy is deteriorating. Businesses are going bankrupt. 40 million people are unemployed. The country's health system is in tatters. There are protests and rioting around the country. Relations with China are at an all-time low. It also is a presidential election year. The country is divided. Despite the myriad of problems the country faces, the race is very close. Within this context of America at a turning point, what if Trump had won reelection in 2020. What would happen? From Trump's reelection in 2020 until the time he leaves office, this story of America is played out in graphic detail with some good, some bad, some horrible, and some redemption. It is told through the eyes of both the President's supporters and detractors. During his second term, Trump will aggressively promote his vision and agenda. Some will try anything to stop him, but will they succeed? This is a story of a troubled America and its political leadership. People must follow their consciences or their party. Everything that happens in this book is plausible but not predictable. In Trump's America, no one can sit on the sidelines.

"It is hard to imagine understanding the Trump presidency and its significance without reading this book.” —Bob Bauer, Former Chief Counsel to President Barack Obama What—and who—is a demagogue? How did America’s Founders envision the presidency? What should a constitutional democracy look like—and how can it be fixed when it appears to be broken? Something is definitely wrong with Donald Trump’s presidency, but what exactly? The extraordinary negative reaction to Trump’s election—by conservative intellectuals, liberals, Democrats, and global leaders alike—goes beyond ordinary partisan and policy disagreements. It reflects genuine fear about the vitality of our constitutional system. The Founders, reaching back to classical precedents, feared that their experiment in mass self-government could produce a demagogue: a charismatic ruler who would gain and hold on to power by manipulating the public rather than by advancing the public good. President Trump, who has played to the mob and attacked institutions from the judiciary to the press, appears to embody these ideas. How can we move past his rhetoric and maintain faith in our great nation? In The Demagogue’s Playbook, acclaimed legal scholar Eric A. Posner offers a blueprint for how America can prevent the rise of another demagogue and protect the features of a democracy that help it thrive—and restore national greatness, for one and all. “Cuts through the hyperbole and hysteria that often distorts assessments of our republic, particularly at this time.” —Alan Taylor, winner of the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for History

Book excerpt: A groundbreaking look at the future of great power competition in an age of globalization and what the United States can do in response The two decades after the Cold War saw unprecedented cooperation between the major powers as the world converged on a model of liberal international order. Now, great power competition is back and the liberal order is in jeopardy. Russia and China are increasingly revisionist in their regions. The Middle East appears to be unraveling. And many Americans question why the United States ought to lead. What will great power competition look like in the decades ahead? Will the liberal world order survive? What impact will geopolitics have on globalization? And, what strategy should the United States pursue to succeed in an increasingly competitive world? In this book Thomas Wright explains how major powers will compete fiercely even as they try to avoid war with each other. Wright outlines a new American strategy—Responsible Competition—to navigate these challenges and strengthen the liberal order.

Bossie write from the front lines of Trump's battle to keep America great. Trump: America First gives the reader a firsthand and inside account of the Trump administration's battle for the soul of America. As we face the most critical presidential election of our lifetimes, we find ourselves buried in an avalanche of political spin, candidate talking points, and slick campaign ads. Then, just as you're ready to give up, along comes a book that makes sense of a political time like none that have come before.Written with the urgency of a countdown and by President Trump's two top outside political advisors and friends, Corey R. Lewandowski and David N. Bossie, Trump: America First blasts through the nonsense to deliver a first-hand account of the Trump presidency and reelection campaign during its most tumultuous time. From the COVID-19 shutdown in March to the campaign leadership shakeup and reset in July, Lewandowski and Bossie are present for every big moment, and now the reader is too. With unprecedented access to President Trump, the authors take us inside the Oval Office, aboard Air Force One, and backstage at Trump rallies. As they did in their first two blockbuster New York Times bestsellers, Lewandowski and Bossie show a side of the president few get to see. Along the way, Lewandowski and Bossie also tell of their own battles with the forces aligned against the president, and bring us inside the White House to the rough-and-tumble world of Trump's West Wing.Trump: America First also makes a case for electing Donald Trump to a second term. From revamping our trade with China to replacing NAFTA, from NATO to Kim Jong Un, Donald Trump leaves Joe Biden in the dust. Written with the authors' usual wit and political insight, America First is truly a book a political book for our time.

Book excerpt: This important and vacuous volume catalogs all of the reasons why the people of the United States should desperately desire a second term for President Donald J. Trump. Because of reality and reason, the content consists mainly of blank pages and can be used for a journal, note-taking, doodling, writing your own counter-reasons, or any creative purpose. Or just count down some of the days until the nightmare ends. The lone content is an Afterword, which actually explains how He will in fact serve a third term of office at age 80. Enjoy! You may not be able to own the libs, but at least you can read this book! This book also contains the tax returns Trump repeatedly promised to reveal, except unlike Maddow, we've only obtained the backs of the pages. We are nevertheless exceedingly confident He will keep his campaign promise and soon deliver the front pages to The failing New York Times.

Book excerpt: This book is a riveting analysis of the first term of President Donald Trump and what are likely to be the consequences for America if he should be given a second term. The author believes that a second term will be a real tragedy for American democracy, the country's standing in the world, and its future viability as a nation.Starting with the coronavirus pandemic, the author seeks to distill in a profound and readable way, the case against Mr. Trump. He has failed to keep the people safe by downplaying the serious and deadly nature of the virus. This has resulted in the tragic death of thousands of Americans and the infection of over six million and counting. In subject after subject, the author shows how the president's abysmal leadership has failed the people. He asks Americans the very pertinent question: Is this what you want for the next four years- chaotic government, a self-absorbed, transactional president who believes in his own superhuman abilities, further tearing of the social, political and economic fabric of the nation, the undermining of the institutions of government and a nation that has grown weary and needs a break from the chaotic governance it has been receiving.The Republican Party is also severely criticized for aiding and abetting the worst statements, actions and impulsivities of the President. Their silence in the light of the president's incompetence has been deafening as it has been tragic. So, while the country should weep at where America is now-a cringing, fearful and pitiable nation- there is hope that it can still be that beacon, the light on a hill, which can guide us and our grandchildren to a better future. This is a book which deserves attention as November 3, 2020 arrives. It is a date with destiny, a day of reckoning for a better America.

Book excerpt: An investigation into the foundations of democratic societies and the ongoing struggle over the power of concentrated wealth Much of our politics today, Paul Starr writes, is a struggle over entrenchment—efforts to bring about change in ways that opponents will find difficult to undo. That is why the stakes of contemporary politics are so high. In this wide-ranging book, Starr examines how changes at the foundations of society become hard to reverse—yet sometimes are overturned. Overcoming aristocratic power was the formative problem for eighteenth-century revolutions. Overcoming slavery was the central problem for early American democracy. Controlling the power of concentrated wealth has been an ongoing struggle in the world’s capitalist democracies. The battles continue today in the troubled democracies of our time, with the rise of both oligarchy and populist nationalism and the danger that illiberal forces will entrench themselves in power. Entrenchment raises fundamental questions about the origins of our institutions and urgent questions about the future.

This book was released on 2020-03-30 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans are currently in an era of significant uncertainty. The previous conventions that shaped the political landscape have disappeared to be replaced by, well, Donald Trump and Trumpism. It is not clear what impact this political overhaul will have for America. Of course, making predictions about the future is hard, but a period did exist when political professors, pundits, and politicians could at least anticipate where they were headed as a country. America's foreign policy and relationships were secure, democracy was heavily protected, institutions were independent, and most importantly, the country was not led by a politically inexperienced president. There was optimism and dare I say confidence in the possibility of a future of liberal democracy. Today, instead, there is panic. To quash this ever growing anxiety, it may be helpful to take a stand and perhaps try to map out what the future of America will look like in the next 4 to 10 years and in the long term. How will Trump's election, his ideologies, political approach, and actions affect America, its institutions, and its core political value? In other words, what is the future of America after Trump? This book presents a breakdown of the critical areas that have been affected by the Trump Presidency from the economy, democracy, constitution, Supreme Court, trade to the face of the political party. It is broken down into nine different chapters each highlighting Trump's effect on these issues and how this effect is very critical to the continued success and future of America as the greatest country on earth. The book begins with a detailed discussion of what has been popularly dabbed Trumpism, a propagation of fear, hatred and threats thinly veiled as a president who is unafraid to say what needs to be said. Trumpism put aside every political convention that gave even a semblance of diplomacy in the arena of public service and instead installed Trump as the only leader in the race willing to do what was necessary to save America. The reality is of course different because upon taking office, Trump's first term has been nothing short of a train wreck characterized by dishonesty, ignorance, misinformation, nepotism, narcissism and unending falsehoods. His effects cannot just be felt by those working with him, but even by the Republican Party with which he is affiliated, and almost every independent institution put in place to protect the rights of the American. There is not one entity that has been able to chain his errant behavior, because he has out rightly attacked the free media, assumed the commitments he made to his political party and blatantly ignored direct orders from Congress. The outcome of his election and first term really, is a country at the cusp of uncertainty not knowing whether it will collapse or come out strong, and a people so laden with fear it is concerning. The discussion of Trump's perilous first term is then followed up by an examination of the possibility of Trump, despite his unmatched shortcomings as a president succeeding to earn a second term in office. The chapter assesses the reasons why Trump wants a second term from the big wall separating Mexico and the United States, his fixation on increasing the military budget, and his unexplained need to shrink the government among other factors. It also outlines the reasons why Trump is actually likely to succeed in reelection especially because throughout his presidency, Trump has been vetted time and again and still managed to survive. His impeachment trial especially, is thoroughly discussed detailing how the trial ensures that the country will experience no surprises with Trump because it already knows Trump's track record and there are Americans who still believe that it is a positive track record.

Book excerpt: The instant #1 New York Times bestseller | A Washington Post Notable Book | One of NPR's Best Books of 2021 The definitive behind-the-scenes story of Trump's final year in office, by Phil Rucker and Carol Leonnig, the Pulitzer-Prize winning reporters and authors of A Very Stable Genius. “Chilling.” – Anderson Cooper “Jaw-dropping.” – John Berman “Shocking.” – John Heilemann “Explosive.” – Hallie Jackson “Blockbuster new reporting.” – Nicolle Wallace “Bracing new revelations.” – Brian Williams “Bombshell reporting.” – David Muir The true story of what took place in Donald Trump’s White House during a disastrous 2020 has never before been told in full. What was really going on around the president, as the government failed to contain the coronavirus and over half a million Americans perished? Who was influencing Trump after he refused to concede an election he had clearly lost and spread lies about election fraud? To answer these questions, Phil Rucker and Carol Leonnig reveal a dysfunctional and bumbling presidency’s inner workings in unprecedented, stunning detail. Focused on Trump and the key players around him—the doctors, generals, senior advisers, and Trump family members— Rucker and Leonnig provide a forensic account of the most devastating year in a presidency like no other. Their sources were in the room as time and time again Trump put his personal gain ahead of the good of the country. These witnesses to history tell the story of him longing to deploy the military to the streets of American cities to crush the protest movement in the wake of the killing of George Floyd, all to bolster his image of strength ahead of the election. These sources saw firsthand his refusal to take the threat of the coronavirus seriously—even to the point of allowing himself and those around him to be infected. This is a story of a nation sabotaged—economically, medically, and politically—by its own leader, culminating with a groundbreaking, minute-by-minute account of exactly what went on in the Capitol building on January 6, as Trump’s supporters so easily breached the most sacred halls of American democracy, and how the president reacted. With unparalleled access, Rucker and Leonnig explain and expose exactly who enabled—and who foiled—Trump as he sought desperately to cling to power. A classic and heart-racing work of investigative reporting, this book is destined to be read and studied by citizens and historians alike for decades to come.

Book excerpt: Two of America's leading national security experts offer a definitive account of the global impact of COVID-19 and the political shock waves it will have on the United States and the world order in the 21st Century. “Informed by history, reporting, and a truly global perspective, this is an indispensable first draft of history and blueprint for how we can move forward.” —Ben Rhodes The COVID-19 pandemic killed millions, infected hundreds of millions, and laid bare the deep vulnerabilities and inequalities of our interconnected world. The accompanying economic crash was the worst since the Great Depression, with the International Monetary Fund estimating that it will cost over $22 trillion in global wealth over the next few years. Over two decades of progress in reducing extreme poverty was erased, just in the space of a few months. Already fragile states in every corner of the globe were further hollowed out. The brewing clash between the United States and China boiled over and the worldwide contest between democracy and authoritarianism deepened. It was a truly global crisis necessitating a collective response—and yet international cooperation almost entirely broke down, with key world leaders hardly on speaking terms. Colin Kahl and Thomas Wright's Aftershocks offers a riveting and comprehensive account of one of the strangest and most consequential years on record. Drawing on interviews with officials from around the world and extensive research, the authors tell the story of how nationalism and major power rivalries constrained the response to the worst pandemic in a century. They demonstrate the myriad ways in which the crisis exposed the limits of the old international order and how the reverberations from COVID-19 will be felt for years to come.
