Donald Trump, as president, sought to undermine fundamental norms
and principles of American government, institutionalizing bigotry,
and therefore damaged American society. Details are provided on how
he carried out a racist and sexist agenda, endangered the lives of
LGBQTs, terrorized immigrants, allowed exploitation of the
environment, endangered public health and the lives of seniors, and
tried to abolish the social safety net, while trying to construct
an economic oligarchy around him and building a personal praetorian
guard. To explain what he did, the book provides a unique window
into how agencies of federal government work, their programs, and
what he did to reverse decades of social development of the
American people. *** "This richly detailed and accessible book is a
report card on the Trump presidential era, and the grades are not
good. Covering ten major areas from homophobia to immigration, this
thoughtful report gives a dismal assessment of how society was
shaken up, and casts a dark cloud on Trumpism's continuing
influence. This is must reading for any concerned citizen in
assessing the damage that has been done and preparing for the
social battles to come." -Mark Juergensmeyer, Distinguished
Professor Emeritus of Sociology and Global Studies and Founding
Director, Orfalea Center for Global & International Studies,
University of California, Santa Barbara; Author of Global
Rebellion: Religious Challenges to the Secular State (2009) ***
"This is a study of both how Donald Trump attempted to impose his
will on domestic policy and also a broader story of how and why
presidents are so often frustrated in achieving their domestic
goals. It is a joy to read a master scholar at the top of his game,
and with this book, Michael Haas provides us with a valuable,
readable and important lens into both Donald Trump and the American
political process. This book may not be the last book on Donald
Trump's domestic policy, but it is likely to be the most important,
and the most lasting." -Michael A. Genovese, President, Global
Policy Institute, and Loyola Chair of Leadership, Loyola Marymount
University; Author of The Modern Presidency: Six Debates That
Define the Institution (2022) and How Trump Governs (2017)
