About this ebook

This New York Times bestselling Trump biography from a major American intellectual explains how a renegade businessman became one of the most successful -- and necessary -- presidents of all time.
 
In The Case for Trump, award-winning historian and political commentator Victor Davis Hanson explains how a celebrity businessman with no political or military experience triumphed over sixteen well-qualified Republican rivals, a Democrat with a quarter-billion-dollar war chest, and a hostile media and Washington establishment to become president of the United States -- and an extremely successful president.
 
Trump alone saw a political opportunity in defending the working people of America's interior whom the coastal elite of both parties had come to scorn, Hanson argues. And Trump alone had the instincts and energy to pursue this opening to victory, dismantle a corrupt old order, and bring long-overdue policy changes at home and abroad. We could not survive a series of presidencies as volatile as Trump's. But after decades of drift, America needs the outsider Trump to do what normal politicians would not and could not do.

Ratings and reviews

The best President, he is working so hard without making a dime from his position unlike the previous presidents. President Trump is doing wonderful job, wonder how much greater it would be if he didn't have all this attacks from leftist fake news media, socialist demorats and the never trumpers from the right.

I was 23 yrs old when I defected communist regime. for the past 25 yrs I was democrat. liberal media censored me for sharing my views. I love Mr. Hanson books because he speaks the truth if you are a person like me who seek the truth Took me 25 yrs to realised I was voting for communists.

Worst President, totally debasement of the Office of the President. Disgraceful!
