New York Times Bestseller The Trump administration is remaking the
government. It's Even Worse Than You Think: What the Trump
Administration Is Doing to America tells us exactly how it is
making America worse again. Bestselling author and longtime Trump
observer David Cay Johnston shines a light on the political
termites who have infested our government under the Trump
Administration, destroying it from within and compromising our
jobs, safety, finances, and more. No journalist knows Donald Trump
better than David Cay Johnston, who has been following him since
1988. It's Even Worse Than You Think: What the Trump Administration
Is Doing to America goes inside the administration to show how the
federal agencies that touch the lives of all Americans are being
undermined. Here is just some of what you will learn: The Wall.
Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto told President Trump that
Mexico will never pay for the border wall. So, Trump is proposing
putting a tariff on Mexican imports. But a tariff will simply raise
the price of Mexican goods in the US, meaning American consumers
will end up paying for the wall-if it ever gets built. Climate
Change. Welcome to the new EPA, run by Scott Pruitt, a lawyer who
has spent much of his career trying to destroy the agency he now
heads. Secrecy reigns at the new EPA because Pruitt meets with
industry executives to find out which clean air and clean water
provisions they most want to roll back, and keeps staffers in the
dark to make sure these pro-pollution plans don't leak prematurely.
Stocking the Swamp. Contrary to his promise to "drain the swamp" in
Washington, DC, Trump has filled his cabinet with millionaires and
billionaires, from Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, a Goldman
Sachs and hedge fund veteran who made much of his fortune
foreclosing on homeowners to billionaire heiress Education
Secretary Betsy DeVos, who has already put the interests of bankers
ahead of debt-burdened students and their families. The
Kleptocracy. Under Donald Trump conflict of interest is passe. When
Trump isn't in Washington, he stays at one of his properties, where
the taxpayers pick up the tab for staffers, Secret Service, and so
on, all at full price. And back in Washington, everyone now knows
that the Trump International Hotel is the only place to stay if you
want to do business with the administration. Meanwhile sons Donald
Jr. and Eric run an eyes-wide-open blind trust of Trump holdings to
avoid the appearance of conflict of interest-but not the reality.
