Synopsis

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER — read by the authors.

A call to action from three of Washington's premier political scholar-journalists, One Nation After Trump offers the definitive work on the threat posed by the Trump presidency and how to counter it.

American democracy was never supposed to give the nation a president like Donald Trump. We have never had a president who gave rise to such widespread alarm about his lack of commitment to the institutions of self-government, to the norms democracy requires, and to the need for basic knowledge about how government works. We have never had a president who raises profound questions about his basic competence and his psychological capacity to take on the most challenging political office in the world.

Yet if Trump is both a threat to our democracy and a product of its weaknesses, the citizen activism he has inspired is the antidote. The reaction to the crisis created by Trump’s presidency can provide the foundation for an era of democratic renewal and vindicate our long experiment in self-rule.

The award-winning authors of One Nation After Trump explain Trump’s rise and the danger his administration poses to our free institutions. They also offer encouragement to the millions of Americans now experiencing a new sense of citizenship and engagement and argue that our nation needs a unifying alternative to Trump’s dark and divisive brand of politics—an alternative rooted in a New Economy, a New Patriotism, a New Civil Society, and a New Democracy.

One Nation After Trump is the essential audiobook for our era, an unsparing assessment of the perils facing the United States and an inspiring roadmap for how we can reclaim the future.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Yvonne

A fast read, and potent. Especially important for those who have been in deep despair, anger, and fear since the 2016 national election in the United States. The first part of the book reviews how the 2016 election results grew from decades of devastating neglect and damaging strategizing. The second......more

Goodreads review by Ruth

Perhaps I went into this book with exaggerated expectations because of the authors, but I found One Nation Under Trump to be simplistic and without much true merit. The first two-thirds of the book is an extensive telling of how Trump was elected and the many misdeeds he has committed both before an......more
