Great for those who want to relive the horror of the 45TH Presidency.

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

‘This is the book Trump fears most.’ – Axios

Few journalists have covered Donald Trump more extensively than Maggie Haberman. And few better understand the polarizing 45th president or his motivations. In this astonishing, illuminating book, Haberman reveals all about Trump the man, the president and the phenomenon.

Interviews with hundreds of sources and with Trump himself portray a complicated and often contradictory figure. Capable of kindness but relying on casual cruelty as it suits his purposes. Pugnacious. Insecure. Lonely. Vindictive. Menacing. Smarter than his critics contend and colder and more calculating than his allies believe. A man who embedded himself in popular culture for decades, laying the groundwork to galvanize support for a successful run for high office.

Chronicling Trump’s entire career, from his rise in New York City to his tortured post-presidency and potential comeback, Confidence Man is a magnificent, disturbing reckoning of the president who pushed American democracy to the brink.

      pretty sure Trump was the only US Pres in last few decades to not go around starting/aiding/manipulating wars. contrary to the madman he was made out to be in the media.

        • +38

          You don’t even know why you don’t like him.

          • +3

            @tmcn85: He promised a wall that Mexico would pay for. He promised better healthcare. He promised tax cuts. He only delivered the tax cuts to the rich, that the poor and middle class are paying for. Who knew being a President would be so hard?

        • +25

          Sexist, self serving liar isn't good enough for you? He is a disaster regardless that particular view which I won't go further into.

          LOL. Your response to a comment about Trump being the only US President in the last several decades to avoid war is “he’s sexist and a liar” 😂

            @aja12: Must've confused culture wars with actual war.

        His administration continued to escalate various military engagements & conflicts already underway, such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria & Yemen. Trump ordered targeted airstrikes against Syrian government forces & assassinated Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, which heightened tensions in the Middle East.
        He introduced sanctions on our neighbour…
        This is National Culture based on the 1st & 2nd amendment - Free speech of the guns :(

        • +2

          continued to escalate various military engagements & conflicts already underway, such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria & Yemen.

          That’s actually not true. He was scaling down these engagements, with a strategy for eventual withdrawal of US troops from these conflicts.

      • +2

        It was just the Art of the Deal thatdictated that he throw the Kurds to to Turkish wolves so that the USA interests could export the oil from that part of Syria the USA had secured from ISIS ;-)

        • +3

          Rewarding Putin for a third land war in Europe is pure vatnik Idiocy.

        • +2

          Maybe that would be true if Trump had even read The Art of the Deal.

          It was ghostwritten by a bloke who

          a) admitted he knew nothing about deal making, (not that Trump was ever reported as being any good at it either, by anyone who was ever in the room when he made one). He just wrote some crap that sounded good.

          And

          b) deeply regretted creating the illusion that Trump was clever enough to write a book, read a book, or make cunning deals.

          https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Schwartz_(writer)

        • It was his predecessors ambition to pit an offshoot of a terrorist organisation against Turks and to deny oil to Syria so they stay poor.

        No, he did the opposite. Cosying up to his biggest idol. The man he worships and thinks is a genius. We all know who that is.

    • Well, they were saying that last election too. Even pulled in stadiums of people during his campaign. Biden hid away but some how still won. Not anti-Trump, but I wouldn't be putting my money on it, high risk of losing it all.

  • +39

    Apart from the culture and race war issues.

    Trumps only big legislation he pushed was tax reform for the rich.

    It is utterly wild that low income earners that got screwed by that law want him back in office because they cant afford anything.

    Pure insanity , anyways looking forward to America be the example of bad conservative trickle down economics.

    • +17

      Because the south and country bumpkins are "Fark the Libs"

        Giving the rich tax breaks will keep the woke away.

      • -4

        Yep, that's the exact attitude from "this libs" that got Trump elected in the first place. The "we are so smart and know better than everyone else" attitude…

      • +16

        He also screws over people who do work for him by refusing to pay the agreed amount. He has been associated with four bankrupted companies but made sure his money was safe. The thing is New York commercial real estate is dropping so it will be interesting to see how much money he is left with. Probably why he is milking his gullible followers at the moment. Ya do wonder why a billionaire would need a couple of bucks from Billy Bob, wouldn’t ya?

    • -1

      I recommend looking up what "reactionary" means.

      • +1

        The meaning of "reactionary" has changed over time. Due to current popular usage in politics it now refers to a strong traditionalist conservative political perspective of a person opposed to social, political, and economic change.

        "Reactive" is a better word to use in place of "reactionary" now.

    "relive the horror of the 45th Presidency" - interesting choice of wording at a time when the facts are plainly out there. While no voter with a high bar would be thrilled by the choice of candidates - pretty sure he did way better at being president than Obama and Biden. Good for business, good for the economy, jobs, no dabbling in the war business, etc.

    Just the state of the Mexican border tells a story. Remember the many years when the media said he's a racist pig for wanting to close the border/build a wall?
    Under Biden, we are now staring at an absolute shit show where the entire world flies to Mexico and just crosses over now. The New York mayor is begging tax-paying residents to take refugees into their homes because they can't handle the numbers. California is crumbling along with the other leftist states (can't even keep track of all the businesses leaving the state).

    While some media about Trump was true, there was a lot about him and his policies we were all lied to about. The system doesn't like leaders with whom they can't control the narrative. The soft far-left minds are easy to control - don't let them if you are one. It's never black or white. Don't be one of the sheeple.

    • +2

      Except the republicans just scuppered the border bill they negotiated and trump failed to do anything about it last time.

      • +3

        Did you actually read what was in the bill? It was bogus, simply cooked up to try and exchange for more money for Ukraine.

      • +1

        Ah yes, the $118 billion "border" bill in which $20 billion goes to the border. You obviously didn't read the bill let alone past the headlines. It's not a border bill. It's a foreign aid bill with some border stuff tacked on as an afterthought. And the border provisions are awful.

    This is from an Amazon review : ". I have to be honest, I dislike Trump with a passion and suspected this book would feed my dislike. It was an absolute feast!!" Pretty much sum up about this book: it's only for people who already have bias against Trump.

    I love reading books but a book about a candidate who is running for the presidency gets discounted right now? Come one, it has a hidden political agenda n I woul not read it if it were free

    Maybe I will read bout Trump biography 50 later from now. It will be a good read.

          Obama never rewarded a nuclear threat starting expansionary land wars in europe unlike Trump who also ended the nuclear non proliferation treaty with russia that had been in place since 1987
