Rick Wilson argues that Trump represents exactly the catastrophe America anticipated. The president faces hatred from most Americans, daily scandals plague his administration, and he has damaged America's reputation domestically and internationally. Yet Wilson warns that Trump remains beatable only if Democrats avoid critical mistakes. The veteran Republican strategist draws on decades of national campaign experience to dissect Trump's destructive presidency term by term. He exposes the Republican electoral machinery Trump will deploy in 2020, revealing specific strategies and tactics aimed at the Democratic nominee. Wilson demonstrates how Democrats can sidestep the traps Trump will set for them. His analysis combines sharp humor with brutal honesty and biting political commentary. The book serves as both a comprehensive indictment of Trump's presidency and a practical roadmap for preventing a second term.
