A VERY STABLE GENIUS
DONALD J. TRUMP'S TESTING OF AMERICA
PHILIP RUCKER / CAROL LEONNIG
The #1 New York Times bestseller, now in paperback and updated with new reporting
I alone can fix it. So went Donald J. Trumps march to the presidency on July 21, 2016, when he accepted the Republican presidential nomination, promising to restore what he described as a fallen nation. Yet over the subsequent years, it has been hard to see beyond the daily chaos of scandal, investigation, and constant bluster. It would be all too easy to mistake Trumps first term for one of pure and uninhibited chaos, but there were patterns to his behavior and that of his associates. Washington Post national investigative reporter Carol Leonnig and White House bureau chief Philip Rucker, both Pulitzer Prize winners, with deep and unmatched sources throughout Washington, D.C., tell of rages and frenzies but also moments of courage and perseverance. Relying on scores of exclusive interviews with some of the most senior members of the Trump administration and other firsthand witnesses, the authors reveal the forty-fifth president up close.
This gripping narrative reveals President Trump at his most unvarnished and exposes how decision making in his administration has been driven by a reflexive logic of self-preservation and self-aggrandizement - but a logic nonetheless.
Story Locale: Washington, DC
