Best books on Trump?

Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America by Maggie Haberman (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) Nobody is more plugged-in to Trump's world than Maggie Haberman, and she has been since he first announced he was running for President in 2015. She was one of the rare journalists who took him seriously from the beginning, and it gave her the unique access which results in some remarkable stories. Trump can't help but open up to her, even though he constantly attacks her for her coverage and has said some reprehensible things about her. I can't imagine how exhausted she is of being the Trump expert after almost ten years, and it isn't ending anytime soon.

The Divider: Trump in the White House, 2017-2021 by Peter Baker and Susan Glasser (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) Peter Baker has covered the Presidency for over two decades and written excellent books about the past five Presidents. He continues to cover the White House for the New York Times and his frequent pieces analyzing contemporary Presidents in relation to Presidential history are always great. Susan Glasser is a longtime reporter for The New Yorker and is also fantastic with her coverage and has written several good books of her own. From time-to-time, Baker and Glasser, who have been married for years, team up to write a book and The Divider, like their incredible book about James Baker (The Man Who Ran Washington) shows how deep their connections are in Washington and American politics.

The Trump Tapes: Bob Woodward's Twenty Interviews with President Donald Trump by Bob Woodward (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) Bob Woodward has written several books about Donald Trump's Presidency, and even before releasing this collection of twenty complete interviews with Trump, the legendary reporter who helped bring down Richard Nixon came to the conclusion that Trump was far more dangerous than Nixon and an undeniable threat to American democracy and the world order. Each of Woodward's other four books about or partially-focused on Trump (which are titled Fear, Rage, Peril, and War respectively -- which is not only appropriate, but might as well have been Trump's campaign slogan) are must-reads. But The Trump Tapes gives you Trump in his own, erratic, redundant, uncensored words full of lies and threats and insanity. It should frighten and repel people, but this is America where ignorance and intolerance openly reign, so instead this fucking country put Trump back in power, but with a mandate and full Congressional control this time. Ugh.

Book outlines Trump's desire to sow divisions throughout American life

Peter Baker, co-author of "The Divider," a book about Donald Trump's time in the White House, talks with Alex Wagner about how Trump had no interest in uniting the country after he was elected, and deliberately sought to provoke discord in his treatment of issues like immigration.

The Divider review: riveting narrative of Trump’s plot against America

Peter Baker and Susan Glasser offer a beautifully written, utterly dispiriting history of the man who attacked democracy
