Reviews
"[Rucker and Leonnig] are meticulous journalists, and this taut and terrifying book is among the most closely observed accounts of Donald J. Trump's shambolic tenure in office to date. . . . Their newspaper's ominous, love-it-or-hate-it motto is 'Democracy Dies in Darkness.' A Very Stable Genius flicks the lights on from its first pages." -- Dwight Garner, New York Times "Richly sourced and highly readable...It is not just another Trump tell-all or third-party confessional. It is unsettling, not salacious." - Lloyd Green, The Guardian "Imagine, for a moment, a high-octane courtroom prosecutor summing up for the jury a case built on the vivid testimony of multiple eye-witnesses.... You could scarcely ask for more capable advocates. Leonnig won a Pulitzer Prize for her reporting on the U.S. Secret Service in 2015, then joined Rucker and others on a team awarded the Pulitzer for stories on Russian interference in the 2016 election. Their new, collaborative account...walks readers step by step through the first 30 months or so of a presidency like no other. They leave little doubt that they and many of their sources regard that presidency as an unmitigated and deepening disaster -- a threat to American government as we have known it. Whatever may happen to that impeachment effort in the weeks and months ahead, it creates a moment of intermission in the Trump saga and a chance to consider how the landscape has already been altered by this president. A Very Stable Genius offers a harrowing companion narrative to be read during intermission." - Ron Elving, NPR, "[Rucker and Leonnig] are meticulous journalists, and this taut and terrifying book is among the most closely observed accounts of Donald J.

Synopsis
The instant #1 bestseller. "This taut and terrifying book is among the most closely observed accounts of Donald J. Trump's shambolic tenure in office to date." - Dwight Garner, The New York Times Washington Post national investigative reporter Carol Leonnig and White House bureau chief Philip Rucker, both Pulitzer Prize winners, provide the definitive insider narrative of Donald Trump's presidency "I alone can fix it." So proclaimed Donald J. Trump on July 21, 2016, accepting the Republican presidential nomination and promising to restore what he described as a fallen nation. Yet as he undertook the actual work of the commander in chief, it became nearly impossible to see beyond the daily chaos of scandal, investigation, and constant bluster. In fact, there were patterns to his behavior and that of his associates. The universal value of the Trump administration was loyalty--not to the country, but to the president himself--and Trump's North Star was always the perpetuation of his own power. With deep and unmatched sources throughout Washington, D.C., Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker reveal the forty-fifth president up close. Here, for the first time, certain officials who felt honor-bound not to divulge what they witnessed in positions of trust tell the truth for the benefit of history. A peerless and gripping narrative, A Very Stable Genius not only reveals President Trump at his most unvarnished but shows how he tested the strength of America's democracy and its common heart as a nation., From Washington Post national investigative reporter Carol Leonnig and White House Bureau Chief Philip Rucker, both winners of the Pulitzer Prize, shocking new reporting on Donald Trump's unique presidency and its implications Rucker and Leonnig have deep and unmatched sources throughout Washington, D.C., and for the past three years have chronicled in depth the ways President Donald Trump has reinvented the presidency in his own image, shaken foreign alliances and tested American institutions. It would be all too easy to mistake Trump's first term for pure chaos. But Leonnig and Rucker show that in fact there is a pattern and meaning to the daily disorder. Relying on scores of exclusive new interviews with first-hand witnesses and rigorous original reporting, the authors reveal the 45th President up close as he stares down impeachment. They take readers inside Robert Mueller's Russia investigation and the Trump legal team's scramble for survival, behind the curtains as the West Wing scurries to clean up the President's mistakes and into the room to witness Trump's interactions with foreign leaders and members of his Cabinet, and assess the consequences.

    Item received 3/20 in great condition! You get very POSITIVE feedback! Your part of the transaction was great, BUT the USPS really "dropped the ball," or in this case, the package. They misrouted it twice. I'm an old (retired) USPS clerk and found their performance way below par. Please tell them for me "Shame! Shame! Richard

  • 👁’m 👀ing 4ward 2 reading m👁 gnu 📖!

    I know enough about this book that I’m a little frightened to read it and worried that it will keep me awake, first reading it and then reacting to what I read! The authors are both journalists that I trust. Here goes!

  • No Surprises

    If you keep up with the news of the Trump Presidential debacle and MSNBC in particular, you will have heard much of the narrative in this book. Thus, the value of this easy read is that it historically confirms the idiocy of this Administration and the threat to the Rule of Law in America. That it was written gives a certain hope to those who cherish the United States.

  • Well done

    A well done volume for anyone interested in a good history of Trumps early years in the White House. Clearly outlines his huge need to have his ego stroked and his desires to be an autocrat like Kim or Putin.
