From David Cay
Johnston, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of the
bestselling The Making of Donald Trump, comes his New York
Times bestseller about how the Trump Administration’s policies will
affect our jobs, savings, taxes, and safety—completed revised and
updated.
New York Times
bestselling author and longtime Trump observer David Cay Johnston
shines a light on the political termites who have infested our
government under the Trump administration, destroying it from within
and compromising our jobs, safety, finances, and more.
In It’s Even
Worse Than You Think, Johnston exposes shocking details about the
Mexican border wall, and how American consumers will end up paying
for it, if it ever gets built; climate change, and all about Scott
Pruitt who spent much of his career trying to destroy the agency he
now heads; stocking—not draining—the swamp, despite his promise
to do the opposite, Trump has filled his cabinet with millionaires
and billionaires; and the Kleptocracy, where Donald Jr. and Eric run
an eyes-wide-open blind trust of Trump holdings to avoid the
appearance of conflict of interest—but not the reality.
With story after
story, It’s Even Worse Than You Think "diagnoses the
Trump administration as a…government by the least qualified and
most venal among us” (The Washington Post). This is “a
momentously thorough account of President Trump’s alarmingly
chaotic first year in office…a precise and fiery indictment of an
unstable, unethical president that concludes with a call for us to
defend our democracy” (Booklist) and is “urgent, necessary
reading” (Kirkus Reviews)
