Publisher's summary

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

The author behind the “eye-popping” (CNN) #1 New York Times bestseller A Warning presents an urgent look at how our deeply divided nation is setting the stage for “The Next Trump.”

Donald Trump will be president again, whether he is on the ballot or not. That is because Trumpism is overtaking the Republican Party and will mount a vigorous comeback, potentially in the hands of a savvier successor—The Next Trump.

This prophecy will come true, according to Miles Taylor, if we do not learn the lessons of the recent past.

With the 2024 election approaching, the formerly “Anonymous” official is back with bombshell revelations and a sobering national forecast. Through interviews with dozens of ex-Trump aides and government leaders, Taylor predicts what could happen inside “Trump 2.0,” the White House of a more competent and more formidable copycat.

What sounds like a political thriller—from shadowy presidential powers and CIA betrayals to angry henchmen and assassination plots—is instead America’s political reality, as Taylor uses untold stories to shed light on the ex-President’s unfulfilled plans, the dark forces haunting our civic lives, and how we can thwart the rise of extremism in the United States.

Blowback is also a surprisingly emotional and self-critical portrait of a dissenter, whose own unmasking provides a vivid warning about what happens when we hide the truth from others and, most importantly, ourselves.

Thanks for your courage

Highlights how we could lose our democracy

Miles Taylor has done a real service to history with his warnings about trump and potential future dictator wannabes. And this is a good listen too.

An insider’s preview of Trump 2.0

In this time of ultra MAGA, it is heartening to hear of a genuine conservative courageously. opposing Trump’s petty, harmful and narcissistic actions. It is also scary as sh!t. Well- written with strong narration. Very hard to put down.

A guided tour of rise of a authoritarian.

It was like a movie. A film noir, where the bad guy gets his just deserts. But my\our reality right now in the hot summer of 2023, is a grueling series form. It continues with US law vs. DJT.
Though I thoroughly captivated by the subject and storytelling , the reading was good but some of the characters voices was sometimes distracting. But his story was hard to stop listening to. It fleshed out so much of what is going on with the current government.
It made me see my responsibility as a citizen to vote more responsibly and not emotionally or make light of my civic duty.
For me, something good came of DJT and the "free time" of COVID, plus the internet. I made the decision to read and learn about government, civics, current politics and try to understand both parties better by studying U.S. History.
That is why I "read" this book. and as it sinks in I will again.
I will or would like to, refer it to friends, if I can and not remain fearful and anonymous.

Blowback

Thank you for writing the two books. Anyone who reads them should not be able to re-elect trump again. He is a criminal as bad as Putin and Hitler. I hope the rest of your life is rewarding and smooth sailing! Your performance and organization of the book was excellent. It certainly gave an in the moment of each decision made. It was frightening. As a health worker the handling of the pandemic was an awful mess. When you turn it over to people who are not professionals in health that was what you got,

Americans should listen

Great book and narrator. The leader of our country didn't care about Americans. That was clear to me when I followed him on social media. The immaturity and out of your mind disregard for Americans, our DOD, our Generals, our allies, our national security has been obvious to people who don't live under a rock. Books like this are important. History is being written.
