Washington Post national investigative reporter Carol and White House bureau chief Rucker, both Pulitzer Prize winners, provide the definitive insider narrative of Donald Trump's unique presidency with shocking new reporting and insight into its implications.So went Donald J. Trump’s march to the presidency on July 21, 2016, when he accepted the Republican presidential nomination in Cleveland, promising to revive what he described as a fallen nation. Yet over subsequent years, as he has undertaken the actual work of the commander in chief, it has been hard to determine beyond the daily chaos of scandal, investigation, and constant bluster. it'd be all too easy to mistake Trump’s first term for one of pure and uninhibited chaos, but there are patterns to his behavior which of his associates. The universal value of the Trump administration is loyalty - to not the country, but to the president himself - and Trump’s Polaris has been the perpetuation of his own power, even when it meant imperiling our shaky and mistrustful democracy.Leonnig and Rucker, with deep and unmatched sources throughout Washington, D.C., tell of rages and frenzies but also moments of courage and perseverance. relying on many exclusive new interviews with a variety of the foremost senior members of the Trump administration and other firsthand witnesses, the authors reveal the forty-fifth president up close, taking readers inside Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation also due to the president’s own haphazard but ultimately successful legal defense. Here for the first time certain officials who have felt honor-bound to not publicly criticize a sitting president or to divulge what they witnessed during an edge of trust tell the truth for the advantage of history.This peerless and gripping narrative reveals President Trump at his most unvarnished and exposes how deciding in his administration has been driven by a reflexive logic of self-preservation and self-aggrandizement - but a logic nonetheless. this is often the story of how an unparalleled president has scrambled to survive and tested the strength of America’s democracy and its common heart as a nation.
