Nathan J. Robinson has emerged in recent years as one of the most eloquent and engaging voices in a new cohort of young left-wing commentators who are transforming the American media landscape. Here he sets his unsparing gaze on the greatest grotesquery in an American political system that is lurching out of the control of all but the super-rich: Donald J. Trump.
This substantially revised and expanded edition of his earlier Trump: Anatomy of a Monstrosity brings the story up-to-date, complementing an excellent analysis of how the Trump presidency came into being with a survey of its baleful achievements, a record of unrivalled venality tempered only by incompetence. And, in examining the Trump era with equal measures of wit and intelligence, Robinson points the way to how we can banish the monster from our midst in the coming November election.
