Billionaire at the Barricades

Więcej o książce

In 2016, Americans participated in a movement that propelled Donald Trump, an unlikely candidate, into the presidency. The central question is whether he can fulfill his agenda or if his adversaries in the media, protests, and political establishment will thwart his efforts and stifle the movement he embodies. Laura Ingraham provides an insider's perspective on this populist revolution, exploring its roots and its ties to the Trump presidency. She exposes the opposition, predicts the future of the Make America Great Again agenda, and offers solutions for enacting genuine change in Washington. Unlike many in the media, Ingraham recognized Trump’s appeal and challenged those who dismissed his political viability. She addresses critics and emphasizes the significance of his America First agenda. With wit and insight, she traces the lineage of the populist movement, from Goldwater's 1964 campaign to Nixon's Silent Majority and Reagan's victories. Populism also fueled Buchanan and Perot's campaigns, George W. Bush's election, and the Tea Party's emergence during Obama's presidency. Ultimately, a political outsider—a Manhattan billionaire—emerged as the movement's most prominent advocate, leading to a tumultuous journey to implement his agenda. This narrative encapsulates his victory and the ongoing challenges faced.
