About this listen

From an award-winning historian and regular Fox contributor, the true story of how Donald Trump has become one of the most successful presidents in history—and why America needs him now more than ever.

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 16 well-qualified Republican rivals, a Democrat with a quarter-billion-dollar war chest, and a hostile media and Washington establishment to become president of the US—and 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. We could not survive a series of presidencies as volatile as Trump's. But after decades of drift, America needs the outsider Trump to do what normal politicians would not and could not do.

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
