Synopsis

The definitive insider narrative and the most fully characterized account yet of the chaos, scandal and destruction of Trumps first term, from two Pulitzer Prize winning Washington Post journalists. Drawing on nearly three years of reporting, hundreds of hours of interviews and more than two hundred sources, including some of the most senior members of the administration, friends and first hand witnesses who have never spoken before, Philip Rucker and Carol Leonnig take us inside some of the most controversial moments of Trumps presidency. They peer deeply into Trumps White House at the aides pressured to lie to the public, the lawyers scrambling to clear up norm breaking disasters, and the staffers whose careers have been reduced to ashes to paint an unparalleled group portrait of an administration driven by self preservation and paranoia. Rucker and Leonnig reveal Trump at his most unvarnished, showing the unhinged decision making and incompetence that has floored officials and stunned foreign leaders. They portray unscripted calls with Vladimir Putin, steak dinners with Kim Jong un, and calls with Theresa May so hostile that they left her aides shaking. They also take a hard look at Robert Mueller, Trumps greatest antagonist to date, and how his investigation slowly unraveled an administration whose universal value is loyalty not to country, but to the president himself.
