Synopsis

A line-up of the dirty dealers and defenders of the indefensible who are definitely not "making America great again"

Donald Trump has assembled a rogue's gallery of alt-right hatemongers, crony capitalists, immigrant bashers, and climate-change deniers to run the American government. To survive the next four years, we the people need to know whose hands are on the levers of power. And we need to know how to challenge their abuses. John Nichols, veteran political correspondent at the Nation, has been covering many of these deplorables for decades. Sticking to the hard facts and unafraid to dig deep into the histories and ideologies of the people who make up Trump's inner circle, Nichols delivers a clear-eyed and complete guide to this wrecking-crew administration.

Goodreads review by Karen on November 16, 2017

Clearly, this book is biased against Trump's appointments. It provides a lot of background information on all of Trump's key appointments to date, primarily in his cabinet.

Goodreads review by Marysue on November 05, 2017

I suspect the one-star reviews are posted by folks who didn't really read the book but just wanted to be troll-y. It's quite a read -- takes most of the Trump administration, as of about May 2017 -- and examines their backgrounds and qualifications for the jobs. Even though I'm a newshound, there we......more

Goodreads review by Theresa on September 22, 2017

This book may depress you but you need to read it anyway. Hopefully it will sufficiently piss you off that you take up activism (if you don't already). If you were to pick the most egregious, dishonest, thieving, unempathetic humans in the world, you couldn't do a better job than Trump has with thos......more

Goodreads review by Cathy on September 03, 2017

Excellent journalism. This is a cabinet and administration that needs to be carefully monitored so they are not allowed to destroy the country we are leaving to our children for the benefit of billionaires.......more

"The great threat posed by Donald Trump's presidency does not begin or end with him. Trump's appointees have the power to privatize, to deregulate and to rip apart the American dream.

For citizens who seek to resist not just Trump but Trumpism, this is the essential book."—Thom Hartmann
