Hi there! Just a quick reminder about our Political Book Club meeting for the first time on August 28. Our first book is A Very Stable Genius. It was written by two of The Washington Post’s Pulitzer Prize winners, Investigative Reporter Carol Leonnig and Bureau Chief Phillip Drucker. You’ll notice I’m giving you (and me) another week!
Amazon calls it a “number-one best seller.” The New York Times’ Dwight Garner said this:
‘This taut and terrifying book is among the most closely observed accounts of Donald J. Trump’s shambolic tenure in office to date.’
The Washington Post’s journalists provided the “definitive insider narrative” of Donald Trump in the White House.
‘“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.’
Here’s How We Will Do It:
I hope you enjoy the read. The way we will do the Political Book Club meeting is that I’ll kick it off with a question. You can send in your comments about the book or questions here:
I’ll try to match your comments to reader questions so that there is direct reader feedback. And if you have any comments regarding how to do this, I’m open. This is the first time I’ve done an online book club!
