The Case for Trump

By Victor Davis Hanson

Book Overview

A New York Times Bestseller

The bestselling historian explains how a renegade businessman became one of the most successful--and necessary--presidents of all time.

"A brilliant and bracing analysis from one of the great thinkers and writers of our time." --Mark R. Levin

In The Case for Trump, award-winning historian and political commentator Victor Davis Hanson explains how a celebrity businessman with no political or military experience triumphed over sixteen well-qualified Republican rivals, a Democrat with a quarter-billion-dollar war chest, and a hostile media and Washington establishment to become an extremely successful president.
Trump alone saw a political opportunity in defending the working people of America's interior whom the coastal elite of both parties had come to scorn, Hanson argues. And Trump alone had the instincts and energy to pursue this opening to victory, dismantle a corrupt old order, and bring long-overdue policy changes at home and abroad. After decades of drift, America needed the outsider Trump to do what normal politicians would not and could not do.

This is the essential book on what Donald Trump means for America.
