The Trump presidency was a horrific stain on our democracy.

Are these reviews intended to be from Hamilton Public Library readers? If so, why would there be a political commentary supporting Trump as "our president" instead of a book review. Thank you for the excellent, clear reviews from…

I’ve read Fear, Bob Woodward’s exposé of the clear and present danger of a chaotic administration governed only by Trump’s short attention span and tantrums. It warned that someday the competent members of the administration might not…

A very thorough, sad commentary on the Trump presidency. I got bored after awhile and wished the book had a better editor. That being said, there are things covered in this book that are beyond other books on Trump that I have previously…

An unmitigated "Hit Piece" attempting the besmirch one of the greatest of presidents. Made-Up "Facts" and innuendoes, worse garbage, perhaps, than even CNN.

Meh. Another Kiss & Tell book.

Vigorously reported and easily consumed report on how the Trump White House managed its scandal- and crisis-ridden term (actually, the timeline stops little more than halfway through). It reveals a staff constantly working to save Donald…

Very frightening. He has none of the qualities of a leader or statesman.....only those of a bully and narcissist. In this pandemic it is really scary.....once he decides what he wants, he doesn't care about anything else.....people…

My key take away from this book is that we elected as president a gent who is not serious and has been winging it all of his life. There is no strategy to anything he does. He demands loyalty and returns none which has led him to be…

I read this book right as the lockdown started which, as good as this book is, I'm not sure was such a good idea.. The pandemic creates a lot of fear and and despite masks and other cautions, we won't lose that fear until there is a…

Being an avid listener of MSNBC and shows like Hardball, The Beat, and All In, there wasn't a lot of new material here but if you don't often follow those shows this is a great read. That it's written by two Washington Post Pulitzer Prize…

Excellent summary of the last days of the Trump campaign for the presidency to the whistleblower's revelation of Trump threatening bribes of two consecutive Ukrainian presidents -- From the Mueller Report -- "Although the investigation…

Carefully researched and footnoted, well written, a terrifying look at an insecure, uneducated, bully.

Based on hundreds of hours of insider interviews, A VERY STABLE GENIUS chronicles the Trump Administration from the beginning to shortly after the “perfect” call with the Ukrainian president. Washington Post’s Philip Rucker and Carol…

Found this book to be very interesting information, with more completion to the news bits. I will advise the reading of this …

Personally, I believe anyone who voted for Trump -- or Clinton - - or the Bushes - - to be complete lunatics! That said, I do recommend this book, although I am directly challenging the narrative of the WaPo authors. Firstly, I am in…

Good explanations of the inside story of stuff you remember being in the news. Would have been better if they had been more complete with their dates. Often would give "on October 1 this happened" never specified the year and…

Another great book about what is happening in the WH. We all need to be concerned about this situation. The authors introduce some new material and also flesh out information that has been in the news. The Presidency should never be an…
