On September 5, 2018, the New York Times published a bombshell essay and took the rare step of granting its writer anonymity. Described only as "a senior official in the Trump administration," the author provided eyewitness insight into White House chaos, administration instability, and the people working to keep Donald Trump's reckless impulses in check.
With the 2020 election on the horizon, Anonymous is speaking out once again. In this book, the original author pulls back the curtain even further, offering a first-of-its-kind look at the president and his record -- a must-read before Election Day. It will surprise and challenge both Democrats and Republicans, motivate them to consider how we judge our nation's leaders, and illuminate the consequences of re-electing a commander in chief unfit for the role.
This book is a sobering assessment of the man in the Oval Office and a warning about something even more important -- who we are as a people.
A MUST READ!
I don't care what your political party is, this is an eye opening account of the instability of our current POTUS. Considering the fact that this writer is a member of the administration, we can rule out that it is some hell bent Democrat "out to get him". This person is sounding the alarm on the mess, and begging voters to listen! I will admit to chuckling a bit when the author described me as having TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome.....not a good thing in his/her opinion)!
I'll admit that a lot of this book was nothing I didn't already know, since my husband happens to be a CNN junkie 🙂 However, for people who don't follow much in the news,or just to see the scope of all the issues lumped together within these pages, it should be shocking! A few points that stood out to me: 1. When the entire administration considered quitting after Charlottsville. 2. The fact that conservatives may not get what they think if Trump is elected for a second term and doesn't have to pander to his base. 3. The whole end of the book that is basically a call to arms for voters in this country.
I wish that everyone could have a copy of this in their hands before the 2020 election. Unfortunately a lot of those who should read this won't, and for that I am sad for our country's future.
