David Frum - Trumpocalypse: Restoring American Democracy
05/27/2020 7:00 PM in Washington, D.C. (United States of America)
In his bestselling Trumpocracy, Frum, a writer at The Atlantic who served as speechwriter and special assistant to President George W. Bush, laid out Trump’s threat to liberal democracy. He follows that prognostication with this detailed examination of the damage Trump has in fact inflicted on the nation’s core values and institutions. Looking at the administration’s many mistakes and outrages, including the migrant crisis on the Southern border, the trade deficit, income inequality, the opioid epidemic, the surge of racial violence, and more, Frum argues that liberals and conservatives must draw together in common cause if we are to recover from the most incompetent and cruel presidency in modern history.
