Resumen del Editor

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"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

"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

A Must Political Read

In short, I found it a very informative analysis of the Trump presidency. His comparison to tragic historical heroic figures is very Interesting and gives pause for thought - not to mention past presidents.
It is filled with facts regarding the positive things Trump’s administration has done but that the media somehow can’t seem to articulate if it is to their benefit.
I absolutely recommend this audiobook regardless of the political position you possess.

Punch a liberal?

Overall, I found this book to be useful in analyzing the 2016 presidential election. I also found the examples that the author chose in distinguishing the left medias approach and those of celebrities with the principles they espoused to be stark, dramatic and nauseating.

I found that some examples were used repetitively to support multiple different themes in the book. This creates the sense that the author is out of examples or that the different themes are not really separate. I don’t think this is the case and think that instead, Mr. Hanson needs a better editor.

Perhaps the most disturbing chapter in this book peruses the general population’s acceptance of violent language and threats towards the president and conservative ideals. From Robert De Niro‘s “fuck Trump“ to Stephen Colbert’s similar and Joe Biden‘s threat to beat up the president, to the current situation in which the left is now willing to destroy all of the United States killing all in it’s Jacobean wake, it’s frightening that we tolerate this. Civility being dead, is it any wonder gun sales in the US set a record in June 2020?

great book based on facts

the author bbrilliantly points out the existential struggle between the credentialed and middle classes and why it have us a Teump presidenccy.

Just In Time

Excellent material and narration. The author summarizes what preceded Trump and then shows why his view for America is important now.

Expertly laid out and documented case

The author lays out a case fit for a prosecutor. Every point is documented, backed up, and explain in meticulous detail. The narrator was easy to listen too as well.

Superior analysis of Trump

Mr. Hanson provides and intellectual and insightful analysis of the Trump candidacy and presidency.
The narrator does a good job and is easy to listen to.
This is a great book for not only the Trump supporters, but even more so the Trump detractors. I believe it will give them more insight into the delusional nature of the Trump hater.
I’ve read many books about Trump, but this one is superior.

A preview to history!

I had to look up some of the words but other than that it was very easy to follow the author's logic. Very thought provoking.

The Real Case

The Case for Trump will remain an outstanding one in the foreseeable future of these modern societies of orgiastic globalists.

President’s Trump’s Success

The author of the book meticulously reviews historical context and current references when analyzing candidate Trump and President Trump’s actions and behaviors. Although at times some of the references take a deep dive into Greek and and other cultures that I am not familiar with, The final analysis is an arms length view and very objective while looking at Trump. Trump, despite all of the forces working against him, was wildly successful to the dismay and induced hysteria of his opponents.

A fantastic book. Makes a good case.

This book makes an excellent case on why President Trump is a good President. Reader very engaging.
