The Trump presidency was plagued by greed, misdeed, bad decisions, and poor leadership. Many employees and officials offered advice and options to help the country. The help was not accepted and was also thought to undermine the presidency. The author shows there were people behind the scenes trying to do the right thing.
The issues addressed in the book are the first election, lack of transition team, immigration, border control, building the wall, COVID, Black Lives Matter, and election fraud, and the insurrection of January 6th. This book is written from someone with knowledge of the Washington inner circle and interviews with government officials. If you like politics and current events, this is a peek behind the political curtains.
