    I have the book,
    but..they give it depth, in their interviews.
    I've been a fan of theirs, since the 00's.
    and Beschloss is a treat.

      His goal is to be "special " he doesn't care for what...he is still trying to win his father's approval...however absolutely pathetic and sad.

    It's an excellent book. It's a page turner and demonstrates what an unqualified man 45 was to hold the office.

    The reason I am less optimistic about this "rough patch" in American history is the apathy and ignorance of such a large portion of the American populace. When a citizenry does not properly vet its officials for the most powerful offices in a country you can experience disaster. Trump was a disaster.

    • @lhoward9593

      So many Americans are only concerned with "The Bachelor" and the Karashians. Meanwhile, Rome (Washington) burns.

    Such an incredible thorough, factual, well researched book... and a real page turner, too, even though I was listening to the audio book. The last 3 chapters were powerful beyond words, clearly showed how even before November 3, Trump directed the coup with help from his enablers. When the narrator got to the memorable quote by Capital police, "The Capital has been breached," it still packs the same heartbreaking gut punch as the day it happened. This, I believe, is the definitive record of the Trump presidency.

    because nobody knew how to turn the lights on...! (remember her?)

    Yes, we are more divided as a country in 2022. 7 years of attack-outright blunt attack-on every ideal we believe we are based on has done irreparable damage. IMHO. I’m stating this as a 72yo retired educated woman who lives in the Northern California Bay Area, fantasyland that it is. I’m incandescent with rage. (I believe I first heard that term on Mary Trump’s podcast.) Was it Dahlia or Jen Taub who said it? 🤔 My sense of humor has changed, not for the better. 😖

    Why do they need an introducer and an interviewer. The interviewer can just imtriduce? I really don’t understand this precedence

    Hey Beschloss, try to limit your windy intros in the future to less than a minute. You had limited time for the interview, yet you wasted five minutes saying nothing in the beginning.
