The Last American President

A Broken Man, a Corrupt Party, and a World on the Brink

De: Thom Hartmann

Narrado por: Sean Pratt

The Last American President rips open America's wounded democracy to expose a terrifying truth: Donald Trump isn't an anomaly—he's the inevitable product of a system engineered to fail. This searing investigation reveals how a man forged by childhood trauma, pathological narcissism, and calculated cruelty didn't hijack democracy—he was handed the keys by those who should have been its guardians.

Hartmann uncovers the unholy alliance between Trump's damaged psyche and America's rotted institutions. From Fred Trump's brutal parenting to Roy Cohn's lessons in shamelessness, from a Republican Party that traded principles for power to billionaire donors who treated democracy as a profit center, this book exposes the assembly line that manufactured an authoritarian.

But this is about more than Trump's past—it's about America's future. As climate catastrophe accelerates and fascism spreads globally, Hartmann reveals the nightmare scenario: a second Trump term that doesn't just end American democracy but also triggers irreversible planetary damage. Through meticulous research and unflinching analysis, he shows how political cowardice and corporate greed created the perfect storm that could extinguish humanity's last chance at survival. This isn't just political commentary—it's a last-minute alarm sounding before the point of no return.

Walter’s Review

Very informative, enlightening and entertaining. Wonderful reading from an historical perspective. I will definitely recommend this reading to family members and friends.

We are in a struggle, not between right and left, but between democracy and totalitarian oligarchy.

This book lays out a lot of truth. The author very logically and clearly lays out what is wrong and what we can do about it.

Excellent review of where the US/we are right now, and steps forward.

I appreciated Hartmann's honesty about our danger and his critical thinking about where we go from here.

A must read. Facts, Fears, Solutions

The breadth of political facts. How we got here and solutions that have worked all over the world, that show us how we can save Our Democracy!

Incredible information!

Very well read and informative. Tomm Hartman is an incredibly smart man! I learned so much and took it all in!
