Book Description
This edited collection delves into the key aspects of the Trump campaign promises around immigration, trade, social and foreign policy, and unpicks how the first year of the presidency has played out in delivering them. It charts his first year from both historical and contemporary political standpoints, and in the context of comparative pieces stacking Trump’s performance against Gold-standard presidents such as Reagan, Kennedy and the last ‘outsider’, Eisenhower. Focusing in on a number of key elements of the presidency in depth, it offers a unique perspective on a presidency like no other, drawing on the overriding themes of populism, nativist nationalism and the battle for disengagement from the neoliberal power generation.

Book Description
"Donald Trump took office in 2017 amid an increasingly polarized political field. He quickly carved out a loyal base among the radical wing of the Republican party, dominated the news cycle with an endless stream of controversies, and, with the support of his voting base and party, presided over one of the most publicized, dramatic, and contentious one-term presidencies in American history. In The Presidency of Donald J. Trump, Julian Zelizer gathers leading American historians to put President Trump and his administration into political and historical context. These scholars offer strikingly original assessments of the central issues that shaped the Trump years, including the #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter movements, Trump's crusade against media he dubbed "fake news," the border wall and immigration more broadly, the rapid rise of open white supremacy, the national COVID-19 response, the calls to "defund the police," the efforts to contest the outcome of the election, and the January 6th insurrection, among others. Together, these essays argue that the Trump presidency was not unprecedented, but it represented and emerged from the long-term development of the Republican Party and American polarization more broadly"--

Book Description
The election of Donald Trump and the great disruption in the news and social media. Donald Trump's election as the 45th President of the United States came as something of a surprise—to many analysts, journalists, and voters. The New York Times's The Upshot gave Hillary Clinton an 85 percent chance of winning the White House even as the returns began to come in. What happened? And what role did the news and social media play in the election? In Trump and the Media, journalism and technology experts grapple with these questions in a series of short, thought-provoking essays. Considering the disruption of the media landscape, the disconnect between many voters and the established news outlets, the emergence of fake news and “alternative facts,” and Trump's own use of social media, these essays provide a window onto broader transformations in the relationship between information and politics in the twenty-first century. The contributors find historical roots to current events in Cold War notions of "us" versus "them," trace the genealogy of the assault on facts, and chart the collapse of traditional news gatekeepers. They consider such topics as Trump's tweets (diagnosed by one writer as “Twitterosis”) and the constant media exposure given to Trump during the campaign. They propose photojournalists as visual fact checkers (“lessons of the paparazzi”) and debate whether Trump's administration is authoritarian or just authoritarian-like. Finally, they consider future strategies for the news and social media to improve the quality of democratic life. Contributors Mike Ananny, Chris W. Anderson, Rodney Benson, Pablo J.

Book Description
This book, The Trump Years - 2018, is the second book in the series, Shoot from the Hip. The book chronologically documents the Trump years as the President of the United States with the use of cartoons . Book 1 begins depicting Trump's years as POTUS commencing January 5, 2017, and averages more than one cartoon per day with the total number of 407 cartoons and ending with the last cartoon on December 31, 2017. This book, book 2, begins with cartoons dated January 3, 2018, and continues, almost daily, until December 31, 2020, cumulating a total of 427 cartoons. The characterizations depict in a satirical way Donald Jay Trump's actions, inactions, perceived thoughts, and observations. All the ideas for the cartoons are taken from mainstream media sources, like the New York Times, and are not "Fake News". The intent of these portrayals of events during Donald Trump's tenure as President is very serious in nature although the cartoons may come across as tragically absurd. They are meant to provoke contemplation in a tragically, humorous way. Themes like lying, denying, narcissism, blaming, racism, cronyism, misogynism, egocentrism, corruption, confrontation, idolatry, bigotry, hypocrisy, and others recur through The Apprentice's four-year tenure. The message of the cartoons is primary and the sketches are secondary because I am not an artist. Admitting this fact should not dissuade the prospective reader because these primitive caricatures convey the message in an appealing way.

Book Description
#1 New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestseller: An unprecedented behind-the-scenes portrait of the Trump presidency from the anonymous senior official whose first words of warning about the president rocked the nation's capital. 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.

Book Description
It's important to understand the man who became America's 45th president. Prior to taking the oath of office on January 20, 2017, Donald J. Trump had a life. Born into a family of great wealth, he sped through time, renovating dilapidated buildings into multimillion-dollar ventures, designing skyscrapers, buying hotels and casinos, authoring books, and marketing his surname. Over the years, his life played out before our eyes, but often with scant detail or context. He's been a businessman, a celebrity, a success, a failure, a victor, an icon, and many would say--an enigma. With so many people and places involved in the vast variety of controversies and confrontations, accusations, achievements, and outcomes, how can we authenticate what is true and what is not, if we only know part of the testimony? "Before He Was President" lays out the key moments of Donald Trump's life in a timeline format, enabling us to examine each incident, each deal, each relationship. Beyond that, situations are updated with outcomes. Decoded in this way, we can see how it all fits together, how players from the first part of Trump's life filtered into his political sphere, how deals made long ago continue to unravel, and how such a variety of unrelated incidents created a "perfect storm." Now, more than ever, it's essential that we gauge how Donald Trump's life before politics reigned influence over his first campaign and his presidency. Now, more than ever, we need a before-and-after corpus--what took place in his life before his announcement speech, and then throughout his campaign. Now, more than ever, we need a more in-depth look at this man. This is it.

Book Description
From the Pulitzer Prize-winning reporters behind the 2018 bombshell New York Times exposé of then-President Trump’s finances, an explosive investigation into the history of Donald Trump’s wealth, revealing how one of the country’s biggest business failures lied his way into the White House Soon after announcing his first campaign for the US presidency, Donald J. Trump told a national television audience that life “has not been easy for me. It has not been easy for me.” Building on a narrative he had been telling for decades, he spun a hardscrabble fable of how he parlayed a small loan from his father into a multi-billion-dollar business and real estate empire. This feat, he argued, made him singularly qualified to lead the country. Except: None of it was true. Born to a rich father who made him the beneficiary of his own highly lucrative investments, Trump received the equivalent of more than $500 million today via means that required no business expertise whatsoever. Drawing on over twenty years’ worth of Trump’s confidential tax information, including the tax returns he tried to conceal, alongside business records and interviews with Trump insiders, New York Times investigative reporters Russ Buettner and Susanne Craig track Trump's financial rise and fall, and rise and fall again. For decades, he squanders his fortunes on money losing businesses, only to be saved yet again by financial serendipity. He tacks his name above the door of every building, while taking out huge loans he’ll never repay. He obsesses over appearances, while ignoring threats to the bottom line and mounting costly lawsuits against city officials. He tarnishes the value of his name by allowing anyone with a big enough check to use it, and cheats the television producer who not only rescues him from bankruptcy but casts him as a business savant – the public image that will carry him to the White House. A masterpiece of narrative reporting, Lucky Loser is a meticulous examination spanning nearly a century, filled with scoops from Trump Tower, Mar-a-Lago, Atlantic City, and the set of The Apprentice. At a moment when Trump’s tether to success and power is more precarious than ever, here for the first time is the definitive true accounting of Trump and his money – what he had, what he lost, and what he has left – and the final word on the myth of Trump, the self-made billionaire.

Book Description
This is a wide-ranging book that focus the man who is the 45th president of the United States of America-Donald J. Trump. Its premise is that Trump's rhetoric and actions become more understandable, perhaps even more predictable, in the light of his personality and his worldview and view-of-the world. It, therefore, has two goals: - To delineate his personality traits and his worldview, so as to surmise on how he thinks about himself, others, and the world-at- large, and how he perceives and takes meaning from reality he experiences. - To elucidate his idiosyncratic views on governance, government, the presidency, public administration, and domestic and foreign public policy. To achieve these goals requires drawing upon concepts, frameworks, paradigms, and theories from philosophy, political science, psychology, public administration, economics, management, organizational theory, social theory, and sociology to understand his personality and worldview, and his views of the world-at-large, governance, government, and public policy. This book is targeted at those for whom the Trump phenomenon-as a presidential candidate and as president-is both fascinating and baffling, but who are not intimately familiar with Trump the man of some notoriety or with American political institution, processes, and politics. Companion volume: John Dixon and Max J. Skidmore (eds.), Donald J. Trump's Presidency: International Perspectives (Westphalia Press, Washington, DC, 2018). John Dixon is Professor of Public Administration at the Middle East Technical University in Ankara, Turkey. He is a fellow of the British Academy of the Social Sciences in 2004, and has been an honorary life member of the American Phi Beta Delta Honor Society for International Scholars since 2006.
