This collection of columns, previously published in newspapers around the world, looks at two things through the lens of the law: The presidency of Donald J. Trump and the response to the presidency of Donald J. Trump.

Stress Test: How Donald Trump Threatens American Democracy by William Cooper is a collection of previously published columns by the author. A compelling and sensible overview of America's emerging democratic crisis.

This is a non-fiction book with nine chapters.The criminal justice system's dismal record is followed by a detailed analysis of the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol and Trump's role in it. The 2020 election is covered in one column and then he dives into the thorny issue of what can we do in the "The Way Forward" column in which he points out the danger signs American democracy is facing now with Trump still looming large, casting a dark shadow on America's future.

Donald Trump's "words, deeds and basic instincts," this book asserts, "are fundamentally at odds with America's long-held essential ideals." Trump promised to ban Muslims from entering the United States and to build a wall at the Southern border with Mexico About the latter, he said: "I would build a great wall, and nobody builds walls better than me,believe me, and I'll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great great wall on our southem border and I'll have Mexico pay for that wall."(page11-12). After trying to ban Muslims from entering the country, Trump threatened nuclear war with North Korea.

William Cooper has given reference to all the descriptions in the book. He has listed the tweets from Trump's Twitter handle and stories from the press that hit the newsroom worldwide. He did a fantastic job of highlighting the fact that Trump has done. It is very informative and I enjoyed it.

I saw no errors when reading William Cooper's book,
"Stress Test: How Donald Trump threatens American Democracy." Thus I would firmly give this book a rating of
4 out of 4 stars and 5 out of 5 stars and say this book is exceptionally well-edited.

This book sends a great message not only to those who love politics but to anyone interested in current affairs.The writing is clear, concise, thorough, and often passionate. William Cooper's Stress Test should be required reading for all segments of the citizenry from politicians to educators to the press.
