A New York Times bestseller and “a brilliant and bracing analysis” (Mark R. Levin) of Donald Trump, his presidency, and his vision of America’s future—now updated for 2024

In The Case for Trump, award-winning historian and political commentator Victor Davis Hanson explains how a celebrity businessman with no political or military experience triumphed over sixteen well-qualified Republican rivals, a Democrat with a quarter-billion-dollar war chest, and a hostile media and Washington establishment to become an extremely successful president.

Trump alone saw a political opportunity in defending the working people of America’s interior whom the coastal elite of both parties had come to scorn, Hanson argues. And Trump alone had the instincts and energy to pursue this opening to victory, dismantle a corrupt old order, and bring long-overdue policy changes at home and abroad. After decades of drift, America needed the outsider Trump to do what normal politicians would not and could not do.

Now updated for the 2024 election with a comprehensive new introduction, this is the essential book on what Donald Trump means for America.

Critic Reviews

"I come across books now and then, and I heartily recommend those I really like. But I'm just flat-out telling you to get this one. If you believe in Donald Trump, if you believe in the whole 'Make America Great Again' agenda, if you want to read some of the most intelligent defense of Trump, the most intelligent defense and explanation of Trump's agenda...the book is tremendous.... If you love Trump and if you're looking for ways to help other people who don't understand Trump to understand, this book is gonna be ideal."—Rush Limbaugh
"As a great historian, Victor Davis Hanson makes the case for President Trump with unique insights and historic understanding and clarity. A must-read for everyone who supports the President or wants to understand this moment in history."—Newt Gingrich
"A brilliant and bracing analysis from one of the great thinkers and writers of our time, and a farmer to boot - Victor Davis Hanson. Hanson understood the circumstances that gave rise to Donald Trump early on, how the president has made long overdue changes, and why his enemies seek to destroy him."—Mark R. Levin
"Hanson is shrewd and insightful on Trump's appeal... one of the smartest conservative defenses of Trump yet published."—Publishers Weekly
"A well-researched explanation of how Mr. Trump beat all odds to win the presidency, and also an account of his first two years in office."—Washington Times

This book is well worth a read. It is balanced and well researched and really questions what drives the opinions of the media and the Democratic Party

Being a serial reader on all things Trump this has been the most enlightening analysis and commentary I've come across so far. The author surprised me with his fascinating insights, analogies and comparisons of the Trump era with other periods in history. Namely President Harry Truman and a classic Hollywood movie or two. Really interesting to the point where I'm considering reading a biography of Harry Truman and watching "The magnificent seven" again. Lol🙂. Fascinating read. Highly recommend.

brilliant and fascinating analysis !

Enjoyable audio which has plenty of real time information you can look up if you think it’s a bit off. If you want details on the Trump case listen or read this book, it’s well worth it.

Enjoyable

Whether you like or dislike Trump this book has insight to why what where and how events transpired. Amazingly human blindness and a distinct lack of objectivity in the face of factual out comes either positive or negative distorts the truth even to the point of hurting the people least able to help themselves. Open minded thinking has been replaced with hatred and group think. We are not as sophisticated as we think we are.

Great read ( listen ) educational and enlightening
