About this ebook

An instant New York Times bestseller.

Critics agree: Michael Wolff’s Landslide is THE book on Trump.

“Landslide . . . is the one to leap upon. Smart, vivid and intrepid . . .” —The New York Times

“I inhaled Landslide, gobbled it up.” —Slate

“Wow. Just wow . . .” —Evening Standard

“Cruel, unforgiving, muckraking, scandalous. I couldn’t stop reading it.”—The Telegraph

We all witnessed some of the most shocking and confounding political events of our lifetime: the careening last stage of Donald J. Trump’s reelection campaign, the president’s audacious election challenge, the harrowing mayhem of January 6, the buffoonery of the second impeachment trial. But what was really going on in the inner sanctum of the White House during these calamitous events? What did the president and his dwindling cadre of loyalists actually believe? And what were they planning?

Michael Wolff pulled back the curtain on the Trump presidency with his #1 bestselling blockbuster Fire and Fury. Now, in Landslide, he closes the door on the presidency with a final, astonishingly candid account.

Wolff embedded himself in the White House in 2017 and gave us a vivid picture of the chaos that had descended on Washington. Almost four years later, Wolff finds the Oval Office even more chaotic and bizarre, a kind of Star Wars bar scene. At all times of the day, Trump, behind the Resolute desk, is surrounded by schemers and unqualified sycophants who spoon-feed him the “alternative facts” he hungers to hear—about COVID-19, Black Lives Matter protests, and, most of all, his chance of winning reelection. Once again, Wolff has gotten top-level access and takes us front row as Trump’s circle of plotters whittles down to the most enabling and the president reaches beyond the bounds of democracy as he entertains the idea of martial law and balks at calling off the insurrectionist mob that threatens the institution of democracy itself.

As the Trump presidency’s hold over the country spiraled out of control, an untold and human account of desperation, duplicity, and delusion was unfolding within the West Wing. Landslide is that story as only Michael Wolff can tell it.

Ratings and reviews

Say what you want about trump but the man had so much media access to him and rarely turned down an interview even if he knew the reporter would do a hit job. it's kinda a shame that Biden refuses to even acknowledge the media exists unless he's got a script ready to go or he's been prepped on it for hours. It's kind of like having an open door policy government followed by a shadow government. I mean it's no wonder Biden's signed 52 executive orders within 6 months. Currently the highest average per year of signed orders since Franklin d. Roosevelt. But hey he's fighting "Jim Crow 2.0". Even though he's the one who's enacted policies like a mental cigarette ban, higher energy costs, inflation and refuses to help cuban people. All things who affect minorities, the poor and people in need disproportionately more then the wealthy and well off. But hey each President will have a legacy. Let's not hope Biden's legacy is letting an entire government fall to terrorist operations by Taliban.

You can tell a book accurately describes Trump and his Presidency when several tRump cultists come on here and spew their hatred. They deny all the ignorant decisions Trump made and turn a blind I to the con game he was pulling on the country. He made millions by golfing so much at his own resorts and making the taxpayers foot the bill. History will not be kind to Trump, his administration, and his followers.

While I haven't read the book (probably won't) I still think Trump was the worst president and Wolff paints a great picture (I'm not political about anything I hate all politics) the fact that idiots in the reviews want to call it Political Motive using Trump for money PEOPLE IT IS A BIOGRAPHY GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE SAND ALREADY.
