A call to action from three of Washington's premier political scholar-journalists, One Nation After Trump offers the definitive work on the threat posed by the Trump presidency and how to counter it.

American democracy was never supposed to give the nation a president like Donald Trump. We have never had a president who gave rise to such widespread alarm about his lack of commitment to the institutions of self-government, to the norms democracy requires, and to the need for basic knowledge about how government works. We have never had a president who raises profound questions about his basic competence and his psychological capacity to take on the most challenging political office in the world.

Yet if Trump is both a threat to our democracy and a product of its weaknesses, the citizen activism he has inspired is the antidote. The reaction to the crisis created by Trump's presidency can provide the foundation for an era of democratic renewal and vindicate our long experiment in self-rule.

The award-winning authors of One Nation After Trump explain Trump's rise and the danger his administration poses to our free institutions. They also offer encouragement to the millions of Americans now experiencing a new sense of citizenship and engagement and argue that our nation needs a unifying alternative to Trump's dark and divisive brand of politics - an alternative rooted in a new economy, a new patriotism, a new civil society, and a new democracy. One Nation After Trump is the essential audiobook for our era, an unsparing assessment of the perils facing the United States and an inspiring road map for how we can reclaim the future.

Pleasurable Factual Density, much needed

With alarms sounding around the clock about everything from tweets to Melania's hurricane attire this book digs deep and dispenses with the alarmist mentality of general anti-Trump writings and interviews. Facts reign supreme and a forward looking gaze mitigate against the dark cloud that many of us see when looking at the immediate effects and implications of a Trump election and presidency.

Authors are not narrators

This is a great book but having the authors narrate the audiobook was a huge mistake. One author has a slight lisp which isn’t that big of a deal but becomes wearing after a few chapters and another one of the authors constantly sounds as if he is out of breath and struggling to catch his breath. I don’t usually recommend this, but I believe this audiobook could be made 100% better with a re-recording with a professional narrator.

Great insight into what might cure our politics

A thorough acknowledgement of what isn't working today in our political reality and a road map on what can help chart a different course, I found this book to be very insightful and quite reasonable in its assessment of the current climate. Perhaps if some of these thoughts are heeded we, as a country, can truly retain our greatness and further the cause of fairness and democracy throughout the world. However, we must start here at home.

great book, one drawback...

This is an excellent book that every American should read. I just wish they had hired a professional to read it. At times it was like listening to a radio talk show host....a little annoying at times. Nevertheless, a great book.

Political review of the mess Donald Trump has created

Overall a good book, but probably would not listen to it again. Recommend to anyone interested in the disaster that Trump has put this country in.
