I'm sure you still remember Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States. Well, those four years he had in the White House would be quite difficult to forget. He had his citizens sharply divided; some loved and defended him to death while others detested him and his style of leadership. One supporter, Alan Schein, took it a step further and wrote this book, Red Wave Imperative, in a bid to convince Americans to vote for Republicans in the 2018 mid-term elections.

The book starts by giving reasons why the author thinks republicans should have been given total control of the government. He talks about the positives of Trump's administration and explains why he failed in the areas people say he failed in. He talks about the role democrats played in the negative aspects of Donald's reign. It was interesting how he referred to Donald as the Citizens' president. He talks about a voter-controlled democracy and makes comparisons of its success in other countries like Singapore. He also discusses the need for unification to achieve the goals and dreams of America.

It is very difficult to separate propaganda from the truth in the current political landscapes. However, one thing is certain, that in politics all that matters is what you sell consistently to the electorate. Alan has mastered this art. He says exactly what Trump had been saying consistently on Twitter at that time. For example, how he managed to turn the separation of kids at the borders by the Trump administration to a Democrats fault was surprising but consistent with Trump's tactic of denying everything. The book had a lot of bias as is expected of a book written to campaign for a political side.

Having been a believer in Socialism, I finally got an definition of socialism that made me plainly see the ills of socialism. Maybe this can be attributed to my unwillingness to research but this author has a way with words that is very convincing. I loved that he used a language that was simple and easily comprehensible. I, however, hated the fact that the author absolved his republican side of any faults for all the bad things that were happening in the country at that time. I have always believed that the first step to solving a problem, especially by a ruling government is to take responsibility. Maybe this is the thing that made republicans lose the election that followed in 2020. Citizens feel safe with a government that takes responsibility.

I loved how the author argued his points out. He was so clear, prepared and in some instances even had statistics and data to back his claims up. He worked so hard to sell his ideas to the reader. The book was well-written and properly edited. I may have disagreed with his opinions and approach on some issues but those are personal preferences and choices that democracy demands we accommodate. I, therefore, gave the book a perfect rating of four out of four stars. I'd recommend it to all enthusiasts of American politics. There are many of lessons to be learned from this book.

I am not a fan on Trump but can gurantee you that I won't forget about his term in office that easily. Considering the stance taken by this author, I can already tell that this is not my cup of tea. I will be skipping this book. Thanks for an elaborate review

The book is informative but the author was biased with his points. Thanks for your review.
