About this audiobook

In this newly revised edition of 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

For all you fake liberals and fake conservatives out there meet Donald Trump. The guy that single handedly kept me alive while I was at the border protesting the wall going through the Butterfly center and a small cemetery that was found to be an underground railroad used to help black slaves flee into Mexico. Not only did Donald Trump save the cemetery, he saved all of our lives down there. So for anyone who wants to jump off the ledge and look at President Trumps accomplishments, read this book. I owe the man my life. And I am a bleeding heart liberal. Death before dishonor Semper fi Civilians like me need a man who has the courage to stand up to everyone. Donald Trump had the courage to look at life in a way that protects even the asshats like me who get into a lot of trouble. Chance Hunter

I would NEVER recommend this book. TRUMP IS AN IDIOTIC PERSON. you people say he is a good person. He has done nothing good for this country. people say he did a good thing by giving more slack on regulations to companies, but he is only polluting this world for younger people to suffer in.

To Ly Kallaur do you even know what you are talking about or do you just enjoy the sound of your own voice? You must be a far left progressive that thinks that our Flag, Anthem, Police & etc are racist too! You must be so Anti-America. We now have a "President" that is such a fool reversing the Trump policies that kept our boarder safe, we were energy independent, now back to 2014 prices and begging the middle east. I don't have enough space here to explain all the good President Trump has done
