Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Books written about the Trump presidency seem to fall into two categories. The first are books written by "insiders" in the family and administration and they are usually more personal and emotional than books written by those in the second group, historians and members of the press. This book, “Donald Trump vs The United States” by Michael Schmidt, is an excellent example of calm writing, without the emotional overlay of personal connection to the subject. Schmidt’s book gives the reader a look at the last 4 years, as the Donald Trump’s administration has unfolded and the details of children in cages, gross government miss handling of the Corona virus, and other examples of a government at on-going odds with its people have been exposed. The book is not filled with the hot exposes coming out by members of the first category, like those by, say, Michael Cohen and Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, but the book lays out in detail how Donald Trump and his enablers have changed our country for the worst. It’s a good book, particularly for our critical times.
