About this listen
Includes an all-new chapter analyzing Trump’s impact on the 2018 elections.
In the #1 New York Times bestselling Everything Trump Touches Dies, political campaign strategist and commentator Rick Wilson delivers “a searingly honest, bitingly funny, comprehensive answer to the question we find ourselves asking most mornings: ‘What the hell is going on?’ (Chicago Tribune). The Guardian hails Everything Trump Touches Dies, saying it gives, “more unvarnished truths about Donald Trump than anyone else in the American political establishment has offered. Wilson never holds back.” Rick mercilessly exposes the damage Trump has done to the country, to the Republican Party, and to the conservative movement that has abandoned its principles for the worst President in American history.
Wilson unblinkingly dismantles Trump’s deceptions and the illusions to which his supporters cling, shedding light on the guilty parties who empower and enable Trump in Washington and in the media. He calls out the race-war dead-enders who hitched a ride with Trump, the alt-right basement dwellers who worship him, and the social conservatives who looked the other way. Publishers Weekly calls it, “a scathing, profane, unflinching, and laugh-out-loud funny rebuke of Donald Trump and his presidency.”
No left-winger, Wilson is a lifelong conservative who delivers his withering critique of Trump from the right. A leader of the Never Trump movement, he warned from the start that Trump would destroy the lives and reputations of everyone in his orbit, and Everything Trump Touches Dies is a deft chronicle the tragicomic political story of our time. From the early campaign days through the shock of election night, to the inconceivable train-wreck of Trump’s first year. Rick Wilson provides not only an insightful analysis of the Trump administration, but also an optimistic path forward for the GOP, the conservative movement, and the country.
“Hilarious, smartly written, and usually spot-on” (Kirkus Reviews), Everything Trump Touches Dies is perfect for those on either side of the aisle who need a dose of unvarnished reality, a good laugh, a strong cocktail, and a return to sanity in American politics.

Firstly, any pretence of journalistic neutrality is gone. That isn't a critique per se (I have no reason to disbelieve the content - this guy seems to have lived in the thick of it for years). What it does mean is that often the author is utterly vitriolic, which actually adds a bit of spice and humour that many of these Trump books have lacked.
Also interesting is the fact that this one isn't written by a liberal and/or Democrat. From what I can tell this guy is a long time Republican insider, but moreso of the old-school type that existed before Trump turned the party into a freakish circus. The author has heavy criticisms of the Democrat approach littered throughout this, so it's not the classic 'Democrat dumps on Trump' exercise.
As usual, the anecdotes about the inner workings of the Trump Whitehouse are shocking and maddening. This author is angry, and he spills the beans on a lot of the Trump players with abandon. Some good insights here, unvarnished by pretensions of niceties. He is gunning for people he hates, and his stories show he has good reasons for this hatred. So much awful behaviour in these stories.
So - worth a listen, as while it's yet another of the growing 'Trump is a fool' genre, but it has a distinctly different flavour and some really entertaining passages. Recommended.
