5.0 out of 5 stars
Eidetic flashback of a political nightmare
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2022
Four years was a grueling long time to witness a national train wreck. Days Of Trump is a brilliant encyclopedic timeline of America’s spiral descent into cult insanity. True to its title as a chronology . . . a complete day by day sequence of pivotal historic facts with times, places, people, narratives, circumstances, context, and sources. Full of verbatim quotations, from “You’re fired!”, to “we love you but go home in peace”. If you want gossip and feel-good propaganda, this is not your book.
Not a political philosophy, nor opinion, but a powerful tool for organizing one’s interpretations and conclusions on the whole matter, filling in gaps of understanding, establishing precedents and connections, debunking gossip, settling arguments, and making sense of the whole sordid Trump maelstrom. Bring this book to your Thanksgiving roundtable.
Having already read Rage, Fear, and Peril, I find Days Of Trump is a consummate companion to the Woodward-Costa trilogy. All refreshingly objective, factual, and accountable.
The twelve page index is a gold mine for drilling into topics, people, and events . . . a veritable Who’s Who in the unfolding drama when you want to review the roles played by Sessions, Tillerson, Rosenstein, Comey, Kelly, Meadows, Pompeo, Pruit, Graham, Grassley, Kushner, Raffensperger, Bolton, Cohn, Cohen, Epstein, Flynn, Stone, Barr, Bannon, Mattis, Mary Trump, and hundreds more. A bibliography of 55 “Trump Books” confirms abundant authority in Tim and Amanda’s work.
Days Of Trump is a thoroughly supported central clearing house for resources, facts, and circumstances of the hellish forty-fifth presidency. Very impressed!
Book by Tim Devine debuts at #1 on Amazon's new release chart in US Presidential Biographies.
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 27, 2022 - A lot happened in the 1,461 days of the presidency of Donald J. Trump. So much so that no one could possibly retain it all without extensive notes. Working off the whirlwind mantra of "flood the zone," Trump kept fans and critics alike mesmerized by his daily gyrations and machinations, aiming to "own the news cycle" like no previous president ever has.
Chronicling one of the most unique presidencies of all time, Days of Trump recounts nearly every day of the Trump presidency including both his domestic and international agendas such as trips to his summit with North Korea's Kim Jong Un (aka: "Little Rocketman"), early meetings in the Middle East, the G-7, visits with Queen Elizabeth, meeting the Pope and the historic meeting in Helsinki with Russia's Vladimir Putin among others.
The book also includes extensive coverage of surrounding players including cabinet members, like Rex Tillerson, Jeff Sessions, Bill Barr, Mike Flynn, Mike Pence and other colorful figures in Trump's orbit like Kellyanne Conway, Anthony Scaramucci, Rudy Giuliani, Steve Bannon plus Trump friends and foes in Congress like Ted Cruz, Lindsay Graham, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Congress members Adam Schiff, Liz Cheney and many more.
And of course, what would a Trump book be without coverage of some of the more uniquely Trump moments like "Tim Apple" or "Covfefe" or Kellyanne's "Alternative Facts," Trump's offer to "buy Greenland," Don Jr.'s "If it's what you say, I love it." Jim Comey's "Lordy, I hope there are tapes!" Trump's "Stop the Steal" and much more!
With over 400 photos, documents and interactive links, Days of Trump may be the most comprehensive resource for political historians and lay people alike for digging even deeper into the whirlwind days of the Trump presidency than any book released to date.
Days of Trump is a chronological, collected look back at all the significant events and headlines of the Trump era that for the first time puts it all together in one place, giving the reader and historians the chance to better see how these myriad events all fit into place and where we are left as a nation.
