Although I understand the importance of political analysis books, they are not my cup of tea. However, they are an important source of information. This one seems to analyze how Trump got into the presidency and everything that surrounds it.

This is an interesting humorous political analysis book on the Mueller investigation, Alinsky, Socialism, and proving noncollusion. The book is temporarily free on Amazon Kindle and has a well-written OnlineBookClub review that highlights the book perfectly.Congrats on the BOTD.

Latest Review: Voices of liberty in tribute to the American revolution by Robert Keiper

I think that Trump presidency transend the USA and it has an impack on all of the world. I am curious about authors arguments , and I don't mind one side of the story as long as he admits it. Being dishonest about it is a huge turn off. Great review.

Most times, it's amusing to me to watch the tussle for power and all the inconsistencies involved with it. Interestingly, it will never end until people stop ruling each other; they're not created with that ability. Therefore, I don't follow politics and all it entails, and will, therefore, have no need to read this book. Thanks for the review.

I don't think this is something that I would want to read because I am a Canadian, who wholeheartedly disagrees with everything Trump does. I do, however, think the Q&A section is a great idea. I also agree with the author that it is so important to get younger people engaged in politics. Thanks for your informative review!

This is a one-sided view of American politics as told by a Trump supporter. I have no interest in reading this book, but Congratulations to the author for being chosen as BOTD. Thanks to the reviewer for your interesting and honest review.

Latest Review: Killing Abel by Michael Tieman

This is best for the youths of the United States of America. Really, it is best for the future of the country. Both parties might just need to read, not necessarily to pick faults but to find out what their imperfections might be. Readers in general really need to read to broaden their horizon. As for non citizens, I believe we'd align with the assertion that charges the youth to get involved in responding to issues that affect the society. Great review!

Thank you for this insightful review. Even though I don't like political books, the topic on Trump's election interests me. I might check it out.

As a teacher, I feel one of my main jobs is to help students realize they must strive to get “the whole story” as much as possible. I think a book like this (probably not this exact one because of the profanity) would be interesting to pair up with another text that argues the opposite. (A sample from two different books would be enough for my students.) My 10 year old son has started to notice the bias inherent in political ads, and we have discussed how those work quite a bit. Your honest review has provided me with another possible lesson plan.

I certainly think it is okay to write a book that advocates a certain viewpoint. The danger is when people don’t seek out competing ideas in order to get closer to the truth.

This book compels readers to be aware of the current political situation and the power of the media. People who love to read about current politics would definitely love this book. Alas, it is not for me. Thank you for the review.

It is extremely difficult to remain impartial in American politics, one way or another. Even so, the author could have done a better job masking his personal opinions. Great review!

I don't think this is the book for me, mainly because I don't live in the USA so I'm not interested in its politics. Nice review though.

What a difficult book to review. Glad that you pointed out the author's biases. I'm not sure this is a book for me. But the cover is actually interesting. Thank you for your review.

I don't enjoy political analysis books - especially not one that lacks an open-minded view. Thanks for the review.
