Leading historians provide perspective on Trump's four turbulent
years in the White House The Presidency of Donald J. Trump presents
a first draft of history by offering needed perspective on one of
the nation's most divisive presidencies. Acclaimed political
historian Julian Zelizer brings together many of today's top
scholars to provide balanced and strikingly original assessments of
the major issues that shaped the Trump presidency. When Trump took
office in 2017, he quickly carved out a loyal base within an
increasingly radicalized Republican Party, dominated the news cycle
with an endless stream of controversies, and presided over one of
the most contentious one-term presidencies in American history.
These essays cover the crucial aspects of Trump's time in office,
including his administration's close relationship with conservative
media, his war on feminism, the solidification of a conservative
women's movement, his response to COVID-19, the border wall,
growing tensions with China and NATO allies, white nationalism in
an era of Black Lives Matter, and how the high-tech sector
flourished. The Presidency of Donald J. Trump reveals how Trump was
not the cause of the political divisions that defined his term in
office but rather was a product of long-term trends in Republican
politics and American polarization more broadly. With contributions
