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.

          What I’m saying is actually true. And she didn’t refuse to accept the result, drag it through the courts, and incite a mob to attack the Capitol.

          Just keep digging yourself a hole mate. The American people booted out Trump before he showed such a total disregard for democracy. Before he was being dragged through the courts.

          I think the only tears are when Trump lost last time.

            @try2bhelpful: Dragged through the courts for what? The same thing Biden was done for today? You have to admit, for a guy with such a big target on his back it must even make haters think something is a little off here. Well, I guess you’ll just have to live with him for another 4 years.

              @zubzub: What has Biden done today? Have you seen the litany of things Trump has been charged with? The false equivalence won’t wash. Especially the most serious charges around the incitement to attack the Capitol. Trump’s attempt to get election officials to “find” votes. His followers are threatening election officials and judicial people.
              Trump won’t get elected with just his MAGA people. Let’s see if middle America has standards on what POTUS should be. They know what he is like now.

                @try2bhelpful: If Biden is being bad doesn't make Trump any greater. The fact is both parties should try and get better candidates. The court is independent, that you can deduce from charges against Joe binden. Anything like that Will never happen under trump. His supporters will block the courts also

                  @onegpt: I do wish the Democrats went with someone other than Biden however, if it comes to the crunch he is the better candidate.

                  The trouble is the GOP are going more and more rightwing. The question is really what the more centrist voters think. Do they really care about freedom, democracy and rights? Are they paying attention to what is happening in GOP lead states?

                  Trump’s supporters are, already, threatening the judicial staff prosecuting Trump.

      Just like the red wave that didn’t appear in the mid terms? Trump has 90 odd court cases against him at the moment. He is beginning to lose these cases. The Supreme Court just threw out his presidential immunity defence. I’m willing to buy popcorn and watch how this unfolds. The American people can’t say they haven’t been warned.

          This 1 man is being held accountable for his crimes. Isn’t that what a democracy should be about? Nobody is above the law? Frankly if he was intelligent he would’ve accepted the democratic process and set himself up for the next election. Instead he is condemning himself by his own words. Trump certainly does like stupid followers.

      The wars aren’t under Biden. In fact he hasn’t actually invaded anyone.

        You cannot be that naive. Clearly wars by proxy.

        • try2bhelpful on 10/02/2024 - 06:17

          Wars by proxy? Honestly? As opposed to the ones where Bushes and co actually sent troops in and invaded other countries.

          And if China invaded us would you want non interventionist Trump to be in charge? That the US shouldn’t get involved in supporting us? That the excuse would be they don’t get involved. Me, I would hope they actually commit some troops on the ground to help us. Maybe a couple of war ships.

          • BoltThrower on 10/02/2024 - 06:33

            @try2bhelpful: China is in no position to start wars, economically they're f'ed. One missile to the 3 rivers dam would finish the country.

              @BoltThrower: Funny how we keep getting fed the line of how big a threat they are to us. Frankly I wouldn’t write off China just yet. I would wait five years and see where they are.

              However, you want to answer my question. If we were invaded would you want the US to be non interventionist or would you expect them to come to our aid?

              • BoltThrower on 10/02/2024 - 06:52

                @try2bhelpful: Ground invasion? Yeah. Even with their pathetic rifles with their tumbling bullets which keyhole targets we'd need help. That won't happen though. Apart from the incentive, it's a long boat-ride and their navy isn't up to scratch.

                • try2bhelpful on 10/02/2024 - 08:26

                  @BoltThrower: So you would expect America to come to our aid. To intervene in a war that doesn’t actually directly affect them. So us but no one else, huh?

                  With the Ukraine Russia has a history of invasion? The trouble is this might be a domino effect into other countries. The sort of support being offered here is much less than we would expect if Australia was invaded.

                  You can denigrate the Chinese military capability all you like but there are a lot of military people taking them very seriously indeed. I suspect, if they got serious about invading us, we would be completely cactus in a few months; if not for intervention by the US.

                  • BoltThrower on 10/02/2024 - 11:18

                    @try2bhelpful: "So you would expect America to come to our aid"
                    Where did I imply that? I said we'd need help if China invaded. I don't expect USA to help. Australia is not a NATO member. Needing help and expectations of help are two different things.

                    "With the Ukraine Russia has a history of invasion? The trouble is this might be a domino effect into other countries. The sort of support being offered here is much less than we would expect if Australia was invaded."
                    Engrish, non-sequitur, non-cogent.

                    "You can denigrate the Chinese military capability all you like but there are a lot of military people taking them very seriously indeed. I suspect, if they got serious about invading us, we would be completely cactus in a few months; if not for intervention by the US."
                    Thanks, already did. Weak navy, they can't transport enough of their troops. They should stick to biological attacks and let countries destroy their own economies again. Again, 1 missile would destroy the country's hydroelectric power. If China were stupid enough to attack Australia, USA would help. China is an economical threat to USA. Nullifying that threat by proxy would be irresistible, and would be the end of BRICS+

                    • try2bhelpful on 10/02/2024 - 13:01

                      @BoltThrower: So do you think Trump would put forward the order to intervene if we were invaded or would he stay out of “foreign wars”? Sometimes assisting countries is the greater good, it is how you build alliances and how you create a barrier for allies.

                      You didn’t actually refute my second point. I don’t think you understand how English works. Stop just throwing around terms.

                      You are not a military expert, no matter what you may think. I think I will stick with experts who have a greater understanding of what we might be dealing with. The “all over by Christmas” mob have been caught out in the past, many times, by underestimating the opposition.

                      • BoltThrower on 11/02/2024 - 08:11

                        @try2bhelpful: There was no second point, Just nonsensical word-salad.
                        "The Ukraine"? Just Ukraine, no "The". Russia has a history of invading Ukraine…This may CAUSE a domino-effect into other countries? You think Russia is going to invade Poland after Ukraine? I don't think you have any idea what the war is about. I don't think you followed the 2014 election and I think you're unaware of the Nuland-Pyatt phone-call, the Odessa fires or the civilian shelling of Donetsk and Luhansk - (The pro-Russian separatists who protested the alleged stolen election) over the past 8-9 years. I don't think you're aware of Ukraine damming the river feeding Crimea which killed off their agriculture and whose people WANTED Russia to "annex" them. (This was documented by Vice over a decade ago)
                        You're going to jump to conclusions and assume because I don't like one side that I love the other. Both kill or imprison political opponents. I haven't heard of Russia having a second army to kill conscripted deserters who refuse to kill their own country-men which happened under Poroshenko.
                        "You are not a military expert", "I think I will stick with experts who have a greater understanding of what we might be dealing with"
                        Sorry (not sorry) that you didn't find your echo-chamber here in a bargain website. Good luck with your CCP fan-club.

    Yet he didn't release AI gave him 6 fingers and put him in the pew backwards.

    Why not actually go to church? Is it because he wouldn't be able to resist groping the choirgirls or is it because he would spontaneously combust!!!
